There’s good news and there’s bad news.

Let’s get the bad news over with.  Roger Clemens will not be playing for the Red Sox this year. The good news is that the Yankees didn’t get him either.  He has decided to sign with Houston instead.  Houston is the safe choice, Red Sox were the romantic choice, and the Yankees were the evil, [...]

Web inventor warns of ‘dark’ net

BBC NEWS – Web inventor warns of ‘dark’ net
Apparently Al Gore didn’t invent the internet, Sir Tim Berners-Lee did. He is warning the U.S. against dividing the Internet into a two tier system where data from paying companies would be given priority over others. I couldn’t agree more. The U.S. House has [...]

Katharine defeats Taylor!

And “Dewey Defeats Truman” and “Gore wins Florida”.
Just like these classic goofs, I’m calling the race early to be first and I’ll also be wrong.
My hometown, Birmingham, is the American Idol capitol of the world. First Reuben, then Bo, now Taylor. And Diana DeGarmo was born here.

The Thunder is getting louder!

Howard Dean fails again. Nagin praises Bush.

According to Drudge, the DNC actively worked against the Ray Nagin campaign for Mayor in New Orleans. I’m thrilled to see how ineffective Howard Dean still is, but on the other hand, it does not bode well for New Orleans that he won anyways. Suprisingly, Nagin had praise for President Bush, of all [...]

Fool me twice, shame on New Orleans

Citizens of New Orleans have re-elected the incompetent Mayor Ray Nagin. New Orleans gets what they deserve. This is almost as bad as Washington D.C. re-electing Mayor Marion “Crack-Head” Barry. Nagin is the mayor who stranded thousands of people in the city when buses were available and went unused. Of [...]

Cingular Wireless decides the Idol winner

Two of my three favorite Idols made it into the finals. My wife’s new boyfriend, local Birmingham boy Taylor Hicks, and my new girlfriend, Katharine McPhee. I really thought my other favorite Chris Daughtry had the contest won but apparently his fans are not Cingular subscribers. My theory has always been that if [...]
