I was going to wait until Phreaky Phriday to post this, but I just couldn’t wait.

Ever wish you could see your band’s legacy printed on cassette tape? (I know I have)

Now you can, with the Cassette Tape Generator. The main site has a bunch of fun “generators”.
I think I’ve generated about a dozen so far. Too fun….

This goes out to all the Pirates

It’s about time for this.

Although this has been around for a long time… and completely ignored by the media.

OK, I know that when you follow this link, you’ll think the title of this post is false advertising, but check out the credentials of the reviewers before you close the window.

There is more direct evidence for this than there is for the putative transition from homo heidelbergensis to homo sapiens sapiens. After all… he has actually been seen.

Personally, I’m going hunting. Oh, chill out… I mean with a CAMERA, OK? But don’t look in my backpack unless you really wanna know.

The sky isn’t falling… heck, what’s the sky?

After last week’s UN speech by President of Iran Ahmadinejad, I remain stunned at how little coverage was given to the “prayerful” ending to the speech.

What, you doubt me? Go to yahoo and search for these words “UN speech Ahmadinejad end Mahdi imam”, all of which would have to be included in any decent coverage of the speech’s ending.

Note the sites that DO have coverage…. and wonder why none of them are ABC, CBS, NBC, NYTimes, LATimes, etc.

It’s pretty simple, I think. The notion that the man is a fanatic (who can be trusted to do exactly what he says, and is determined to do horrible things… which he has already done, but which don’t stack up against his stated intentions) just doesn’t play well with the press.

They’d rather ask stupid questions like this of Bush. From Wolf Blitzer, to Bush, soon after the speech:

“But if it would help — if it would help to sit down, talk to them and try to convince them… What would be wrong to just sit down with them and tell thenm, you know what, here are the options before you?”

As if the mullahs don’t know.

And, “Would it be so bad if Iran had a nuclear weapon?”

So, to return to first point: have YOU seen any mention of this “prayerful ending” in the major media?

If you have, I’d sure like to know where.
