….what is there to pass the time with until something happens that the media people think is worth blasting out a “Breaking News” item about it?
Perhaps the problem is that the world needs a good makeover. In that case we need to call in Ty Pennington and tell him to have at it. [...]

I’ve heard of the term “slow news day” before and I’ve even seen plenty of examples of a day in which there isn’t a whole lot going on. However I am not a hamster, there’s no way I’m going to believe that things are so slow that there is literally nothing to report.
Especially when [...]

I know that the Christmas holidays are done for this year, but I’m still going to do this to you anyway… some cool gift ideas… because it doesn’t have to be Christmas to give somebody something cool. There are birthdays, anniversaries and “just because it’s Tuesday” to consider as well. If nothing else, [...]

I what I have to stay is probably one of the most ridiculous moves I’ve heard of in a long time, the Egyptian government has decided to pass a law requiring royalties to be paid anytime somebody makes a copy of a museum piece or monument such as the pyramids.

WORLD DONORS PLEDGE $7.4B FOR PALESTINE
World donors pledged $7.4 billion over the next three [...]

Yeah, right… Castro is going to make nice nice and not stay in power forever… then makes it a point to talk about somebody who’s still working at the age of 100 years old.
CASTRO: I WILL NOT “CLING” TO POWER
Ailing leader Fidel Castro said in a letter that he does not intend to cling to
power [...]

…as is evidenced by this peach of a headline:
TURKISH TROOPS ENTER NORTHERN IRAQ
The Turkish army sent soldiers about 1.5 miles into northern Iraq in an overnight
operation, Kurdish officials said. Also, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice made an
unannounced visit to the oil-rich region of Kirkuk.

I am not a hamster, I can guarantee you that this is [...]

I found myself asking that question a lot more in the last six or seven months or so because my watch, an old Timex Triathlon Iron Man, finally gave up the ghost and stopped working. Since then I’ve been meaning to do something about replacing it but still haven’t managed to actually get it [...]
