It's amazing some of the shit Dubya tries to pull.

Tonight, the House overwhelmingly voted against a bill by a Colorado Republican. That bill would have elminated federal subsidies to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting...

Are you serious?? You're really trying to kill off PBS???

Luckily, the House decisively voted against the bill. I didn't know this, but it was tried a few years ago (obviously to no avail).

Just so you can remember the lunacy of this one Representative - his name is

Rep. Doug Lamborn, R-Colorado

My car is in the shop - nothing bad, just to get a bumper replaced (I got rear-ended a few months ago.) So I've been carpooling with the wifey for the past few days. She gets up about an hour and a half before I do, and it's been really making me tired. I should go to bed earlier, but it just never happens. My idea of early most nights is going to bed before 2am... You would think that I would learn by now.

I had my nice, strong Americano first thing this morning, but that seemed like it was only a temporary lift. About an hour after I got to work it seemed like I was tired again (and I've been that way since).

My day so far has been consisted of checking all my news sites, looking at some images online, and overall trying to make myself look busy. Thank god we're carpooling - I have an excuse to leave early!

I saw in the news today that they finally got Chris Benoit's autopsy results back. While they found Testosterone, Xanax, and Hydrocodone they found absolutely no steroids in his system. I'm sure that was a shocker to most people! So many people have been quick to conclude steroids were a contributing factor to the murder of his wife and child. So what does today's findings mean? Does it bring closure to anything?

No, not really.

One of the things that seems slightly unfair is that everyone is quick to blame the dead guy for their deaths. Yes, the obvious conclusion is that he killed them, but is there real evidence that he did it? Perhaps there is, but so far, from what I've read, the only thing their claiming is that bibles were placed next to their body. So why is the dead man automatically being perpetrated as their killer? I guess it's easy to blame the dead guy.

"Don Herbert, who as television's 'Mr. Wizard' introduced generations of young
viewers to the joys of science, died Tuesday. He was 89..."

Read the Article

What a shame! I watched so many episodes after school when I was younger.

What ever happened to good ol fashion educational television? Now all you see is stupid Paris Hilton on going to jail and other "reality" shows with people acting like assholes.

Michael Jackson wants Vegas robot
03/27/2007 4:00 PM, Yahoo! Music

Michael Jackson is in discussions about creating a 50-foot robotic replica of himself to roam the Las Vegas desert, according to reports.

The pop legend is currently understood to be living in the city, as he considers making a comeback after 2004's turbulent child sex case.

It has now been claimed that his plans include an elaborate show in Vegas, which would feature the giant Jacko striding around the desert, firing laser beams.

If built, the metal monster would apparently be visible to aircraft as they come in to land in the casino capital.

It is the centerpiece of an elaborate Jackson-inspired show in Vegas, according to Andre Van Pier, the robot's designer.

Luckman Van Pier, his partner at the company behind the proposal, claims blueprints have been drawn up for the show and seen by the star.

"Michael's looked at the sketches and likes them," he told the New York Daily News.

On the subject of the robot, he continued: "It would be in the desert sands. Laser beams would shoot out of it so it would be the first thing people flying in would see."

Monday was Presidents Day, and I spent the day at work. This is nothing new. In my first year of employment at my current firm I've spent many holidays and scheduled Friday Offs at work. We work 8.5 hr days and get certain Fridays off. It works out so that every month we get 2 days off (including holidays).

At this point I'm not really complaining because they've been fairly good at giving me time off when requested. Certain circumstances have caused me to be very busy at work for the past 4 or 5 months...well, actually I've been super swamped since last July. We finally found a new person to replace a coworker that left 2 months ago. I'm hoping this works out. It will definitely help to lighten my load.

On Wednesday I got into a minor fender bender while on my way to work. I had a young girl rear-end me on the highway. My car didn't have much damage (mostly scatches), but hers was banged up good. The hood was crumpled. The front grill was pushed in. I think her radiator was damaged too. Oh well, not my fault. Now lets see how their insurance company is to deal with!

Ironically, two of my coworkers had accidents within 48hrs of my accident, and I almost had another accident this evening! This one was no my fault either.

The weekend is close. How did March come so quickly? It's crazy.

I'm starting to get tired of having dirt and dust everywhere outside our house. We really need to figure out what we're going to do with the front and back yards.

Ok, can this Anna Nicole thing just be over? I'm tired of the news going on and on about this crap. Does anyone really give a shit anymore?

Yes, it was that time again. Time to change it up a lil bit. It's not dramatically different, but I'm going with a more simplistic, clean look.

My top header photos are still randomly displayed. This time I'm only including images that I've personally taken (sorry Seth). Ok, I have to take that back, I think there may be 1 or 2 taken by my wifey. Additionally, I still have my randomly rotating photo on the right margin as well. So far, they are the same as before, but I will be changing those soon, as well.

My navigation has also been relocated from the top to below the top image header. None of the options have changed, but those need to be updated as well to include new pages I've created and deletion of old links. We'll see when I can get to that.

After going with may different shades of grey and blue, I've decided to go with plain white. Maybe slightly boring, but I think it looks much cleaner. Besides, now I don't have to worry about the random border lines displaying in the middle of the screen when using Firefox.

Also notice that I've included Blogger's new "labels" feature. Each posting is given labels/keywords and can be used to appropriately categorize each posting and quickly makes those pages viewable.

So what do you think?
