The failure

Nov 5th, 2008 | By Gnome Sayin | Category: Et cetera

The day’s news over, I re-watched the McCain concession speech in the wee hours this morning. I was a tad too euphoric when it initially aired to give it much consideration. It felt very genuine and human and humble, especially when he assured his supporters that “the failure is mine and not yours.” The same [...]



Obama has the Judgment and Foresight to be President

Sep 12th, 2008 | By Ricardo Ramos | Category: Et cetera

Experience has been the big debate this Presidential election, and I’ll be the first to admit that Barack Obama’s resume isn’t the thickest. Yet, that has never bothered me. I’ve always said I trust his judgment, but there is more to it than that. Obama has shown he has an exceptional understanding of the principal [...]

Special Report By Elle They-Call-Me-Awesome A. Toronto (Reuters) It is no longer enough to just send her flowers by the dozens or strum a song from your worn-out emo guitar. With the advance of the internet age, you need to be able to sweet talk in proper syntax, or you’d risk ridicule, a life of [...]



Workolympic To Be Considered By Local Politician

Standard City (Reuters) – A local politician will consider a proposal by an area woman to create Workolympic. The plan would involve setting up various stadiums throughout different cities for blue and white collar workers to compete with each other while spectators jeer or cheer them on. “You know how people always complain how unfair [...]



Some Men Suffering from Whitegirlitis

Oct 11th, 2006 | By A | Category: Et cetera

London, Ontario – Recently scientists have mapped the DNA of a bacterial mutation that gives its hosts – mostly men – the inclination to find White Girls most date-able. This monumental work will help scientists find a cure for a disease that, up to now, has been attributed to racism, uncultured ignoramus, or blindness. Whitegirlitis [...]

Steelers’ Joey Porter and American trash talk

Sep 24th, 2006 | By Sports Editor | Category: Et cetera

So I’m sitting here watching the opening of today’s Steelers-Bengals game, and the network shows a prime example of the mean, mean trash talk and putdowns players from opposing forces are famed for throwing at each other. “Y’all better check the rap sheet – y’all have only won 1 out of the past 5 games,” he said to some hapless player from the other side. I [...]



Newsflash: Eva Longoria vastly overestimates own importance

Sep 12th, 2006 | By Celebrity Gawk | Category: Et cetera

Everyone’s favorite 30-something desperate latina swizzle stick has announced her intention to never ever leave Desperate Housewives (*sighs* of what we think is relief are heard from Maxim‘s viewing audience), but she won’t work in television after the show’s tearful and tabloid-reportah attended final episode has wrapped, however-many-odd years that is hence. Again. Ever. “I [...]



Tai Shan – the prettiest baby in the zoo

Mar 13th, 2006 | By sfam | Category: Et cetera

We had the opportunity to go see Tai Shan, the baby panda at the National Zoo (Washington, D.C.). He’s over 8 months old now, and weighs 37 pounds. After watching him sleep in a tree for about 30 minutes, our patience was rewarded when Tai Shan and mommy had some play time. They had a [...]

The header image rotates, but Firefox has issues…

Mar 12th, 2006 | By sfam | Category: Et cetera

OK, I’ve got a rotating header image that works wonderfully in IE.  Unfortunately, Firefox does some new fangled caching thing which makes the browser get “stuck” on an image.  There is supposedly a fix by modifying Firefox’s cache settngs, but I’ve tried it and it doesn’t seem to help.
