Ronco Showtime Rotisserie & BBQ Oven

It's not as good as Ron makes it out to be. Plus the graphic they use of the "flavor injector" doing its thing is pretty nasty.

FOX 6 ran a story last night about an incident in which a man, after having gone out drinking, decided to watch a "movie." During the time when the man was, in his own words, "taking care of business," he heard a loud knock on his door. Before he could answer, his downstairs neighbor had kicked the door down and entered weilding a 3 foot long sword. You can see the rest here:

Takin' Care of Business (not the BTO song)

I realize that unusual stories have definite news value, but with the plethora of serious events ocurring lately, I find it odd that the first story was about some guy listening to porn too loud.

Broadcast news has gotten so incredibly poor. I'm simply talking about the general news shows that air during the day on cable news networks, not the more substantial programs like the fantastic "Countdown with Keith Olbermann." It's either crap about Anna Nicole Smith and anything about HRC and Obama. Yesterday, for example, MSNBC's Alex Witt led a ten minute long discussion detailing the amount of merchandise the candidates sold at a recent convention.

"Are these sales totals indicative of a broader, national sentiment?"
"Does the fact that Hillary gave away her merchandise for free mean anything?"
"What about the fact that Barack Obama charged for his and still moved more merchandise than her?"

Did anyone see FOX News's attempt at "The Daily Show" with their own "Half Hour News Hour?" I'm not even going to link to it. To give you a taste, they joked that Barack Obama has a magazine similar to Oprah's O. But his is called BO!!! Simply genius.

I watched The Departed and The Insider. Both were great.

Last night my girlfriend was giving me crap because I had to wake up really early and she didn't have to. So I opened the following page and turned it up before I left our place.

Holy Smokes, Dinosaurs! It has profanity.
