I’ve been reading quite a bit in the last few weeks - making sure I’m getting my moneys worth from Amazon Prime.
I ordered “The Boy, Me, and the Cat” by Henry Plummer. Mr. Plummer, his son and Scotty the cat sailed from Buzzard’s Bay down to Florida and back, almost 3,000 miles, on a [...]

Apparently Kazakh officials are coming to the US to whine about Sacha Baron Cohen [warning: scary picture] to George Bush:
And now a movie of Borat’s adventures in the US has caused a diplomatic incident.
The opening scene, which shows Borat lustily kissing his sister goodbye and setting off for America in a car pulled by a [...]

Andrea Harris:
[...] Laved in self-esteem from the cradle, the young enter the world convinced they can turn lead into gold. No situation or experience in life was supposed to be too disgusting for the Brave New Good People to transform — shacking up, spawning bastards, cursing, blasphemy, heresy — these became “living together,” “unwed motherhood,” [...]

The EU is “the part of the world with the highest proportion of drinkers and the highest level of alcohol consumption,” the report begins.
Heh - just poking fun (sort of, anyway). Yesterday I [...]

Jim Martin and John Paul’s Legacy:
I agree that John Paul II was far from perfect but I disagree with some of the reasons Fr. Jim lists as evidence of that. One of them jumped off the page at me. Fr. Jim wrote the following:
“John Paul, though a prayerful man of unshakeable faith, was not perfect [...]

A new Venture Bros. season.
Well, I guess it’s not just for ngvrnd, but I thought he’d be interested to find out about it.

In 1972, Idi Amin stole everything from third-generation Indians living Uganda, and gave them the boot. What happened next is certainly interesting:
The crisis this provoked in Britain at the time has been softened with the passing of the years, but because they were Commonwealth citizens with British passports, the government, in the face of almost [...]

Apparently, kids love to torture Barbie dolls. Why?
One interpretation of this phenomenon is that the children are reacting to the proliferation of different types of the doll, which range from Fashion Barbie to Queen Elizabeth I Barbie and even a Geisha Barbie.
“The children never talked of one single, special Barbie. The girls almost always talked [...]

Vicks has apparently tossed its tried and true formula for NyQuil:
…Vicks has released new formulations of both NyQuil and DayQuil, removing the decongestant ingredient [pseudoephedrine - dff] from NyQuil entirely, and replacing it will a far less effective decongestant in DayQuil. They both contain an antihistamine called doxylamine succinate, but as far as my nose [...]

More Euro-wanking:
Hamburgers and coke, yes you already knew
But do you also know the cause of the general decay?
Short-sighted thinking, loud talking
Sticking to one-liners forever
Down with America! Down with the jerks from America
Down with America! [...]
Down with American colonialism
Down with that ugly, biting English
All the Anglo-Saxon pretence, arrogance
Yes, a hot pick up their ass
And that is [...]

The new shows in the fall lineups…
At first (and second and third) glance they all suck donkey dick. I will however be watching CBS’s “Threshold” because of some of its stars. 1. Little person Peter Dinklage, 2. STNG’s Brent Spiner and most importantly 3. Carla Gugino, who I have always had a thing [...]

Free-market-hating politicians (are there any other kind?) want to nationalize Russia’s young hotties (article quoted here in its entirety):
To mark International Beauty Day Nikolai Kurianovich, a State Duma deputy with the nationalist LDPR party, suggested introducing a ban on foreign travel for Russian girls under 21, Itar-Tass news agency reported.
In his opinion, young Russian girls [...]

Argh! I missed this. Hopefully they’ll re-run it. And look who’s on the show:
Tomorrow night at 9, actor Peter Weller will appear at the Colosseum and other monuments of ancient Rome in the History Channel documentary “Rome: Engineering an Empire.” The former RoboCop is one of the experts sharing his knowledge in this superb two-hour [...]
