My Choice For President In Just Over A Minute
I've recently had to explain my objections/reservations to Mike Huckabee as the GOP nominee this year to several friends, a process which has been fraught with misunderstanding and a lack of true clarity on my part. Fortunately, my choice for president, Fred Thompson, did an excellent job of defining Huckabee at last night's GOP [...]

Video below, mild language warning (if you're offended by Olde English terms for children of questionable parentage, then this video has got a word or two you'll [...]
Let's Get This Post Off The Table, Shall We?
Y'all know the routine: every once in a while (read: more than strictly necessary), I get a whole mess of links just sitting there in my browser, asking to be posted. So, let's get to the linkage, shall we?

Wowsers. Netflix and LG are apparently set to release a set-top box for direct downloads of movies in the very near future:
