Big Mattress Song of the Week

The Parallax View

This is the guy the other side paints as a “looney” and an “idiot..” a “charlatan,” a “weirdo” and a “moron...” If one is capable of a truly objective read, many minds may be changed by this.

Don't Let Truth Get in the Way of Your Agenda

Every few months, I feel it is important to point out the difference between facts and fiction here on my blog. Take the hackneyed phrase that the Right have puked out so many times, that even many on the Left and in the Center now believe it:
“Al Gore claimed he invented the Internet!!”
Not true- but of course the new, media-in-the-21st-Century-rule is, “if you say something enough times, people will believe it's true”. So, let's review:
Did Al Gore claim he invented the Internet? If you don't like that source, try this one.. or this one. But don't take my word for it- do your own research and let me know how you make out.
(It's one thing to disagree with your opponent's views, but let's deal with the facts- unless, of course, the lie serves to confirm your own political viewpoints...)

Bill Spurlin was an engineer/all-around “handyman” at WBCN almost from Day One and he has a great blog (which is more like a diary than an actual blog). His thoughts, opinions, photos, observations and quips are priceless!

N.Y. Times: STFU!!

Is this news organization (that I normally respect and read regularly) doing something dumb- and possibly bordering on treason? Unless it was going to be released by other sources, I believe that this story should have been buried. We are in a time of war against terrorists. I could be wrong, and would like to hear from knowledgeable people about this (not from the Wingnuts who have always hated the Times and call it “left-wing liberal biased reporting”)*. The release of this story perplexes me. What's your take, people?
*(I will delete any dumb-ass “I told you so” comments from the Right. I need information- not blabber.)

Preaching to the Choir

Unfortunately, the people who should be reading this are checking the stock market and forwarding political hate email.

Estrogen Wednesday

A husband had just finished reading a new book entitled, "You Can Be THE Man of Your House." He stormed to his wife in the kitchen and announced, "From now on, you need to know that I am the man of this house and my word is Law. You  will  prepare me a gourmet meal tonight, and when I'm done eating my meal, you will serve me a scrumptious dessert. After dinner, you are going to go upstairs with me and we will have the kind of sex that I want!
  Afterwards, you are going to draw me a bath so I can relax. You will wash my back and towel me dry and bring me my robe. Then, you will massage my feet and hands. Then tomorrow, guess who's going to dress me and comb my hair?"
    The wife replied, "The funeral director, I'm thinkin'….."

Dumb Riddle of the Month

..but nonetheless, you'll find the answer to be startling:
What nine letter word in the English language is still a word when eight letters are removed, one by one?
Hint: You don't delete the letters in order....

for video answer. (It starts off loud, like a commercial on Direct TV, so lower volume first..)

Listen as you browse

but you can see it;
You can never see the Future,
but you can change it. ®2002
