Censoring The Roots
I’m a little late on this story, but apparently NBC now screens the songs The Roots are going to play on Jimmy Fallon.  Why? Because The Roots apparently played “Lyin’ Ass Bitch” as Michelle Bachmann walked onstage. ?uestlove, the leader of The Roots, later apologized.  But look closely at this apology: And I really didn’t think about how it could be perceived as...

Dictionary.com names word of the year, and it...
…tergiversate. Yeah, right. It’s a soft “g” if you are saying it aloud right now.  Essentially, it means to flip-flop on an issue (think Mitt Romney, or any other politician for that matter).

“If Tebow beats Tom Brady tomorrow, I will tweet ‘Jesus is king’. No...”

Pilots to use iPads →
Which concerns you more: 1. Pilots get to use iPads while flying, and we do not; or 2. Pilots get to use iPads while flying? I’m not supposed to use my cell phone while driving a car, on the Earth, at 10-80 mph. Pilots can use iPads while flying a plane 1-6 miles in the air, going approximately 140-500 mph?

Siri Abortion Controversy
So Siri doesn’t find abortion clinics and now pro-choicers are signing a petition on protest. Pro-lifers “applaud” Apple for it. Ridiculous, on both sides. If you want to find an abortion clinic, are you really held back by not being able to do a voice-activated search? If you are pro-life, are you hoping that in lieu of convincing pro-choicers they are wrong, this is the...

Would you join me in a petition...
…to retire the word “epic,” except when used in connection with “Beowulf,” “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner,” “The Waste Land,” “The Lord of the Rings” and similar? I’m hearing it three times a night on t.v. commercials.  I may stop counting Nutcracker references in commercials (21 to date) and start counting the use of...

“If you acquire a horse, you should be a responsible owner and provide lifetime...”
– Wayne Pacelle, president and chief executive of The Humane Society of the United States, on the lifting of a ban on funding horse meat inspections. I’d suggest substituting “any animal” for “a horse” in his statement.
