I remember the good old days

Did you hear they banned kids from playing tag at a Colorado school?? They were talking about it on the radio this morning and apparently a lot of schools here have already banned it. Kids are getting soft (emotionally...and physically as well).

Wow



I first read about these guys 8 months or so ago in the Wall Street Journal. I downloaded their album, and it is really good, beginning to end. But to watch them ply their trade live on the Letterman stage, is something altogether different. Wow.

Mind your own business...!

It appears that helpful folk from the "international community" are becoming more outspoken in their judgment of our ways here in the good ol' U.S. of A. As if our foreign policy doesn't offer enough juicy run-off to quench the critics' thirst, they're now lapping up on our gastronomical foibles (the comment section provides a wonderful insight into the advanced intelligence of our foreign critics), and even sipping at our system of justice and punishment for heinous crimes. They misjudged, apparently, the complete and utter apathy with which Texans view international criticism; the direct appeal from the further-evolved European culture warranted a 3 - sentence official response; clearly the Texas Governor doesn't want anyone in Brussels confused by fancy rhetoric or evasive verbosity, as is the penchant with higher life forms. Investors only need apply: The rest of you underfed intellectuals can chew on the fact that we pwned your weak selves 230 years ago, and we pwn you today! Get along, lil' doggy! Brilliant!!

Save Me From Myself: Save Others From Me...

“How did I get here?...Why is my life such a nightmare?...

Save Me From Myself: How I Found God, Quit Korn, Kicked Drugs, and Lived to Tell My Story, released on July 7 (7/7/07), is a reflection of the ex-band member’s amazing conversion story.

Hopefully he feels the weight of responsibility for the poor role model he was during those days, too.

The old maxim that money and fame don't buy happiness remains true, though many think it's just a korny saying, and are therefore destined find out the hard way, I guess.

Fight Global Warming: Drive, don't walk...

Food production is now so energy-intensive that more carbon is emitted providing a person with enough calories to walk to the shops than a car would emit over the same distance. The climate could benefit if people avoided exercise, ate less and became couch potatoes.

All I can say is, "Wow".
