Another Home Run From Dr. Sanity
Dr. Pat goes into great detail in her post about the MSM's repeated doom-and-gloom focus on the economy. I've done half-a-dozen posts on this, so I obviously believe it's an important topic. Dr. Pat says many of the same things I have, with a thorough explanation of the psychological mechanisms at work.
Definitely worth reading and bookmarking for those times you run across liberals claiming that we're in a recession and heading for a depression.
The stories, as well as similar coverage in other publications and on
the newswire, were more subtle than that. But make no mistake — the
message is that the Bush-Republican economy is a calamity of epic
proportions.

More Good Stuff From doubleplusundead
As usual, dpud skewers leftist talking points and serves them up as BBQ. Of course, when the points don't really know what their point is supposed to be, it's almost self-fisking. I love the gun graphic and caption.
Be sure to check out the moronosphere links too. Look for the Daily Dollop link (that's just the main site... go to dpud and find the link I mean... seriously... it's almost halfway down... yes, that one... :sigh:... now click it!... right... now check out the reading level of your favorite blogs... no, not this one, I don't write to show intelligence, I write to be understood, big difference... now come back here and start going through the archives or I'm going to start posting more Tron videos... plzkthx)

around the moronosphere in 80 iq points, april fool's edition at doubleplusundead
Check out the "around the moronosphere in 80 iq points, april fool's edition" at doubleplusundead. Some really funny stuff to go with the serious stuff.
As usual, dpud (I call him that because we're buds now... and he's 'de pud"... heh) does a great job sifting through the morons to find the nuggets of gold acorns.

Thank Goodness For YouTube (Now)
I'm so glad the internet, and especially YouTube, didn't exist when I was a kid. My Mom was one of those who loved to take pictures of us making a mess
of ourselves while eating, taking a bath, or any other generally
embarrassing activity kids do just because they're kids. So if YouTube had been around, this could have been me:
Trust me... you wouldn't want to see me singing and dancing (sideways, because Mom had similar camera skills to this one) to "It's Howdy-Doody Time!" when the Howdy Doody Show came on. My wife hated it so I broke the habit long ago (but I still remember the words... heh)

Driving Miss... But Not By Much
A Florida woman was arrested after trying to run over her husband about 20 times with a minivan. After an argument over $300.00, she chased him around their yard with their child in the vehicle. Sounds like maybe the kid needs to stay with Grandma and Grandpa until the parents can grow up.
I will say this... if she was able to almost hit him 20 times without hitting something else in the yard, she's a better driver than my wife. Just sayin'

My Invitation Must Have Gotten Lost In The Mail
I'm sure that's it, because no way in the Buffyverse would I not have been invited to this:
Ok, maybe my occasional rants about Joss Whedon being a totally insane moonbat might have been a factor, even though he's a literary and comic genius (or maybe that's because... must think on this). Or maybe the temporary permanent restraining order(s) in place regarding my completely innocent interaction(s) with one several of the BtVS cast. And I'm certain that having all the DVD's and playing them sequentially and repetitively could only be a plus, just like having most of the novels, scripts, philosophical analysis' (yes, there are several), theme-related literature (like "Fray" from Joss Whedon), and assorted "Buffy sayings and definitions" books has got to work in my favor.
Given all the positive factors and the oh-so-few-and-insignificant negative factors, the only reasonable conclusion is that the United States Postal Service is at fault.
Just sayin'
The cast of the popular supernatural series, which ran from 1997 to
2003 on The WB and then UPN, were in good spirits Thursday while
reuniting for a panel discussion at the William S. Paley Television Festival. That doesn't mean fans should expect the gang to get back together on screen.

Ready For The Olympics?
I still think boycotting the Opening Ceremonies is a good idea, but is even going to China a good idea? First, you have the situation in Tibet:
Then, you have the driving:
And now, natural disasters:
Why would we want to go there anyway? Their economy is in great shape because they learned from us and have opened up their markets. Supporting it hurts our own interests. Do we really want to continue supporting that growth so their government can continue their military buildup and continue their oppressive policies?
China should not have been awarded the Olympics in the first place. Why reward them, and the idiots who made the decision, by helping the Games go smoothly? Skip the Opening Ceremonies at least... but it wouldn't bother me if the only ones to show were China, Iran, North Korea, Syria, etc... When the Games became professionalized, they lost all real meaning anyway.
The violence in Lhasa — a stunning show of
defiance against 57 years of Chinese rule — has sparked sympathy
demonstrations in neighboring provinces, prompting Beijing to blanket a
huge area with troops and warn tourists and foreign journalists to stay
away.
Then, you have the driving:
For the 11th consecutive year, China has topped
the list in number of traffic deaths -- 5.1 for every 10,000 motor
vehicles. The Xinhua News Agency report Friday says government
statistics show nearly 82,000 road deaths in China last year.
And now, natural disasters:
A spokesman for China's Earthquake Administration
said it was a 7.3 magnitude quake. There were no immediate reports of
injuries, he said, and the area is sparsely populated.
Why would we want to go there anyway? Their economy is in great shape because they learned from us and have opened up their markets. Supporting it hurts our own interests. Do we really want to continue supporting that growth so their government can continue their military buildup and continue their oppressive policies?

Arthur C. Clarke -- R.I.P.
One of the greats. He was 90 years old and lived in Sri Lanka the last part of his life.
In Science Fiction, you can easily argue that the top three writers of all time are Arthur C. Clarke, Robert Anson Heinlein, and Isaac Asimov. May they all rest in peace.
He came to prominence shortly after the Second World War with an article
predicting geostationary satellites that would make global broadcasting and
worldwide television a reality, decades before they became possible.

Another Positive Drug Test In Sports
I didn't know they even tested these people. Why?
I weep for professional sports today... not really... but billiards? C'mon! Who's next? The Canadian Curling Team? Video Game Players? How about concentrating on the sports that doping would actually give you an unfair advantage? Like Darts.
Buescher's positive test came at November's German championships, where he
captured the carom billiards title, the German Billiard Union said.
