      • Sports: The NFL Lockout - Who's the biggest *Player*
        07/27/11
        I mean that in the most socially casual way...

        Because the exact details of the contract are not for public consumption, I’m not sure who - if anyone - got pimped. But, if you look at this strictly in dollars and cents, no one got pimped, they all still end up millionaires.

        I

      • Television: The Kennedys mini-series; No controversy here
        07/22/11
        I finally got to watch the mini-series, The Kennedys. I don’t know what was so controversial about it – maybe I just know too much about the Kennedy’s. I didn’t learn too much new – it was a surprise to me that Jackie smoked... even when she was pregnant. And got happy juice shots. I knew JFK w

      • Media: The CBS Evening News - Round 2
        07/19/11
        It’s been almost 2 months since Scott Pelley took the anchor chair and he’s away on his first assignment for 60 Minutes. 2 Days into his absence and I’m back on board. Bob Schieffer is awesome.

        Day 2 with Bob Schieffer... A paraphrase of his opening line: Rupert Murdoch was in front of

      • Movies: Netflix You!
        07/17/11
        That even sounds dirty to me...

        Netflix has officially become a pronoun. You’ve been Netflixed! Before I get into the rational discussion of NETFLIX, I have to note the mass amounts of outrage spewing from former Netflix consumers. I’m not sure what made anyone at Netflix think a 50% i

      • Media: News International and News Corporation = Criminal Activity
        07/13/11
        I just don't know where to begin with this one. I mean, being a journalist is supposed to equal honesty, integrity, a responsibility to the consumer... What the F? I guess to be fair, News Corp has not been implicated in any of the activities of News of the World, but, if you're a journa

      • Technology: No more NASA?
        07/09/11
        OKAY, I’m being overly dramatic. NASA is not actually going away, just the space program. But, that’s not clear in the way it’s being reported in the news. The news filter is clearly clogged. Important details are not making it to the final product - even I was slightly alarmed at the idea of no

      • Television: The Jury Is Out...
        07/07/11
        So, it is my understanding that the highest rated television program for the last 2 weeks has been the Casey Anthony trial. Let me come clean straight-away... I did not follow the antics of this trial because OJ was enough for me... followed by Jean-Benet Ramsay, then the Menedez brothers, then S

      • Politics: What now for Anthony Weiner?
        07/03/11
        Anthony Weiner was a congressman representing the State of New York - Brooklyn/Queens. I think that’s all most people knew about Anthony Weiner until about a month ago. Now we know his wife is Huma Abedin, who, is the right-hand to Secretary of State Hilary Clinton; We know they’ve been married f

      • Media: The CBS Evening News
        07/01/11
        So, I'm a news snob. And, having spent the better part of a decade hunting down news, I feel justified as such. My favorite - The CBS Evening News... sorta.

        I grew up watching CBS local and national news. They always seemed to have the best overall newscasts, even before I knew wh
