Aurora Borealis

Glenn Reynolds posted some links to some photo galleries of the Northern Lights captured by bloggers this year. Apparently, the sun has been very magnetically active this year and is pumping out a lot of particles which are making the…

No!

There are no sleighbells ringing to hear, nor are their children singing yet, and it is decidedly not perfect weather for a sleighride, together or otherwise. Curse you, B-“Defilers of All Things Sacred, Traditional and Pure”-101!

Turkey Soda Follow-Up

Speaking of getting into the Christmas spirit: X-Entertainment has weighed in with their review of the Jones Soda Holiday Pack (previously mentioned here). While the pack is fairly obviously a gag (no pun intended) gift, those intrepid X-E’ers actually set…

There Oughtta Be A Law

Piling On Arafat

I usually go out of my way to avoid reveling/relishing anyone’s suffering, particularly when it comes to death, although I made an exception for Uday and Qusay. I’m afraid that I have to invoke that exception again in the case…

Vincent D’Onofrio – Professional Flake

When Law and Order: Criminal Intent debuted, I watched each episode with a good deal of fervor. I enjoyed the different take on the L&O universe and the performances put in by the cast, in particular Vincent D’Onofrio. However, as…
