Friday funnies

First up - he who would be AG: Then there's the correction that beats all others. A May 22 editorial on Virginia's Democratic gubernatorial primary incorrectly stated that Terry R. McAuliffe had described himself as a "huckster." In his autobiography, Mr. McAuliffe described himself as a "hustler." Not funny: Don't smile at the DMV. "The … Continue reading Friday funnies →

Did Kris Allen really win?

There has been a lot of talk on the internet about who voted for Kris Allen, this year's winner, and why. Until now, though, no one disputed the vote itself. A New York Times article might change all that. AT&T, one of the biggest corporate sponsors of “American Idol,” might have influenced the outcome of … Continue reading Did Kris Allen really win? →

4th Annual Bash roundup

Adam, who lost the coin toss, went first with "Mad World." Kris, sitting at the piano, did a wonderful interpretation of  "Ain't No Sunshine." The … Continue reading American Idol 05/19/09: The finale →

American Idol 05/13/09 results: the final two

I was on vacation last week so I didn't post about American Idol. Of course, that doesn't mean I didn't watch the shows 😉 I was really disappointed that Alison was voted off. Danny did a horrible job on the genre (rock), while she excelled. I'm joining those who think the show is rigged. Tuesday … Continue reading American Idol 05/13/09 results: the final two →

Another test

So WordPress announced a new feature today: post by email. I am giving it a shot, writing this from my new-but-may-have-to-return BlackBerry Curve 8900. (For some strange reason, I can't play YouTube videos over WiFi, although they play fine over T-Mobile's Edge network.) Anyway, let's see how well this works. If all goes well, I … Continue reading Another test →
