Almost 20,000!

Who will it be? The way traffic has been, I am betting on a visit from someone who was googling "tsunami photos."

Myopic Zeal, or Scapegoat Soup

Avast! So, cBS finally pulled the trigger, eh? Four CBS executives were fired Monday following the release of an independent investigation that said a "myopic zeal" led to a "60 Minutes Wednesday" story about President Bush’s military service that relied on allegedly forged documents. The network fired Mary Mapes, producer of the report; Josh Howard, […]

Site Meter

Took Sitemeter off line for a bit, going to wonky, slowing page loading down. Heck, www.sitemeter.com is off line. Update: Sitemeter non wonky. Anyone know where to put the code in it to make format left?

Real Complaints

An opera based on the Jerry Springer Show, which has been widley popular in the UK, was broadcast on the BBC Saturday, with a viewership of 1.7 million. 45,000 people complained to the BBC about it. Approximately 5.6 million voted in Ohio, most of them among the living, and only 37 Ohioans have registered complaints.

Agreement

See, me hearties, there are times when the Red and Blue can agree. I wholly support Jess at Life, or Something Like It over this nimrod. To the blog owner I say "you go to hell. You go to hell and you die."
