http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090703/ap_on_re_us/us_palin_resigning_25 Sarah Palin “resigns” (like she won’t come back in an even more annoying venue – talk show, anyone?), citing one of the least coherent political arguments ever: She said she had decided against running for re-election as Alaska’s governor, and believed it was best to leave office even though she had two years left […]

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090625/ap_en_mo/us_film_transformers_jar_jar_again_18 Transformers 2 is out, which goes a long way towards explaining why I’ve seen only two movies (Wall-E and Up) in the past three years. The rest of the explanation is made up by this excerpt from multi-kajillionaire producer, Michael Bay, here being forced to explain why two characters in his blockbuster are portrayed […]

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090624/ap_on_re_us/us_sc_governor_where_60 Much as I love news reports exposing Republican hypocrisy and “immoral” (their words… prior to getting caught, anyway) behaviour, they’re coming at rather a quick pace. Can we slow them down so I can savour them each a bit more? *sly grin* After going AWOL for seven days, Gov. Mark Sanford admitted Wednesday that […]

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090623/en_nm/us_jonkate_3 The stars of the reality television show “Jon & Kate Plus Eight” said on Monday’s episode that they had decided to split up after 10 years of marriage.

Pat Robertson – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pat_Robertson The flipside of Walter Cronkite is Pat Robertson. I had to look him up because I couldn’t remember if he was the annoying televangelist who’d died while I was newsless in Europe. (Sadly, no – it was the equally offensive Jerry Falwell.) Instead of a national treasure, Robertson’s a national disgrace, and avuncular only […]

Helpful fellow Tweeters point out that no, they aren’t. paganmist @petehoekstra Had to move all my stuff to a new office w/o a corner view. Now i know what the Trail of Tears was […]

http://demicouture.ca/2009/06/15/genious-brit-comes-up-with-vending-machine-that-sell-flats-in-clubs/ Witness this flat-soled shoe vending machine to be placed in clubs. The inventors are hailed as “genius”, and a reader looks forward to spending $10 on a pair of un-painful disposable shoes. The only thing keeping me from becoming a multi-millionaire is my refusal to learn about the lifestyles of the rich and stupid.
