Milorad Cavic, of Serbia, is a great swimmer. He *ALMOST* beat Michael Phelps in Beijing. Well, apparently he thinks he did beat Phelps, even though everyone in the world who isn’t Milorad Cavic has physical, digital, and photographic evidence to prove he didn’t. Cavic has been trying for months to hype up his popularity.

Researchers from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine have conducted a ’study’ that claims they found no nutritional or health benefits to eating ‘organic’ food, as opposed to ‘ordinary’ food. The researchers stated that consumers were paying higher prices for organic-labeled foods because of a perceived health benefit, creating a global organic market [...]
Despierta America displays bias in reporting opinions on Sonia Sotomayor?

Despierta America is a morning show on Univision, a Spanish-language television network. This morning, they had a “man in the street” interview, located in New York, asking what people thought about Sonia Sotomayor’s confirmation to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Two problems. One, everyone interviewed spoke Spanish, but given the nature of the show, I’m willing to [...]
Why can’t Alberto Contador win gracefully?

Alberto Contador, of Spain, has won the Tour de France. He did it. He beat the best.
So, why isn’t he shutting the hell up, and enjoying his victory? I keep seeing press where he’s making offensive comments about Team Astana teammate Lance Armstrong. It’s almost all nit-picking little crap you’d expect from someone who lost [...]

Yeah, $1800, for a taser, and that’s to law enforcement personnel. Oops. Sorry, the price tag is $1799. That makes it much more affordable. But, if you’re a cop, fear not. Taser International is saying that as an agency you can trade in your ‘old’ taser devices for up to $800 credit on the new [...]
Profile your dating coach.

I think it’s probably safe to say most of us read articles on dating, love, relationships, and related topics. I admit, even though I don’t listen to these people much, I do read. I guess it’s to try and figure out what the sleazeballs are trying next. Sure, you do have a few ‘genuine’ people [...]
The Holocaust: Should ‘remembering’ involve money?
Posted in Pop Culture, Religious Extremism, TV & Film, Talk Soup, news, rant, tagged Films, Holocaust, Cinema, Profiteering on July 22, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I have nothing against the Jews. I also have nothing against ‘remembering’ past tragedies. I understand the nature of memory. Memory is a lesson, as well as a looking-glass. It tells us where things were, and how things are. If used for ‘good’, it is an invaluable resource.
However, let me explain something. Memory is also [...]
(HUMOR) Possibly the *BEST* adult date question ever..
Posted in Humor, Pop Culture, Uncategorized, tagged dating, Humor, OKCupid, relationships on July 16, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I recently joined the OKCupid dating site, not seriously, but out of curiosity because several of my friends are on it. Well, having signed up, I am given a *TON* of questions to answer, upon which to better narrow down the potential matches. Pretty simple. Except, some of these questions are pretty darn good. The [...]
Al Franken may have accidentally proven Obama’s White House is promoting false information about Sonia Sotomayor.

In today’s part of the Supreme Court confirmation hearings, to decide whether or not Sonia Sotomayor gets the job, Al Franken asked a potentially damaging question, perhaps not even realizing it. He jokingly challenged Sotomayor to name the case that Perry Mason lost. She couldn’t.
For those who don’t read Barack Obama’s White House-promoted biographical ‘essays’ [...]
