I'm currently debating between Wordpress and Blogger.  Take a look at the new site:

Let me know which seems better.  So far, Blogger seems more readily customized, Wordpress seems cleaner.  It may be that working out a better HTML template for Blogger is a better way to go, but I'm open to suggestions!

Watch the Watchmen


Inspired by my hatred of Yahoo and my enjoyment of The Watchmen this past weekend.

Reformatting

Sorry for the lack of posts lately-- working on some new formatting to make the whole thing more readable. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

What's next? Unicorns?




Giant snakes, fish with transparent heads, and now pink albino dolphins.... in Louisiana of all places!

Maybe it's in honor of Mardi Gras.
"While this animal looks pink, it is an albino which you can notice in the pink eyes. Albinism is a genetic trait and it unclear as to the type of albinism this animal inherited."

A different dolphin species, the endangered Amazon river boto (Inia geoffrensis), which lives in South America , is sometimes called the pink river dolphin because of its appearance."

Taxpayer Beware: Bank Bailout Will Hurt : NPR

Incredibly well-produced piece on NPR this morning-- not surprising since Alex Blumberg works for This American Life.

"This is a robbery note!" Johnson says. "It's saying, 'Guys, either you'll have 20 percent unemployment or national debt will go up to these dangerous levels, unless you buy toxic assets — not for what they're worth, not for what the market price is, as much as you can pay.' "

Johnson says his "first reaction was: 'It's a spoof.' My second reaction was: 'Oh my God.'"

Obamas praise Stevie Wonder at White House - CNN.com
""I think it's fair to say that had I not been a Stevie Wonder fan, Michelle might not have dated me. We might not have married," Obama said Wednesday as he and the first lady hosted a concert and award ceremony for Wonder.

Subway Porn


Subway Map Porn For The Mass Transit Freak
