OK, here’s one you don’t hear often…
My coworker told me he is often mistaken for Jewish.  He’s Greek, so I guess it’s all the same neighborhood anyway.
Today he told me about his son, who’s starting college and living in the dorms this year.  He’s apparently following in his father’s footsteps, with somewhat more determination.  He [...]

Hundreds marched on Wall Street to protest the bailout.  Yet this was completely ignored by the mainstream media.  Nada.  Nothing.  Not a peep.
What do you suppose it will take to wake up the Great Unwashed?  These boobs are not doing you any favors (unless you’re really trying to avoid knowing anything of any value).
I found [...]

My coworker was watching the debate on the bailout bill.  He was amazed that the vote so far (in the House) was strictly along party lines, with the Republicans against and the Democrats for the bailout.
Are we living in Reverse World today?  The Democrats are voting for corporate welfare?   Don’t make any mistake; both will [...]

It would appear that Page, Jones, and Bonham (Jason - son of John) were rehearsing and had gone to the effort of trying to find a tour replacement for Plant, who didn’t want to tour.  When Plant discovered this, he relented.  As a result, one of rock’s greatest bands of all time will be touring [...]

Asus just released the Eee PC 901A in blue and the 900A in gold.   There is no other change mentioned aside from the color.
T-Mobile sold out of their entire pre-sale stock of the new Android phone.
All I have read about recently has been the T-Mobile phone.  It’s like some sort of religion, with all [...]
