I was reading on CNN just a minute ago about a week in April where people are encouraged to not watch Tv all week, and spend time with friends and enjoying life. While I think it's a neat idea, I found one thing in the story that I found to be so completely untrue. It's something you often here reiterated by special-interest groups, family groups, or anti-media groups. "One reason viewers come to TV-Turnoff Week is because they're troubled by the messages they see on TV, and that's a perfectly...

Jeremy Camp "Stay". Sixth in a week-long series....

Stupid Letters to The Editor Fourth in a week-long series. Butler Conviction Appeal Re: The article "Butler appeals conviction in plague investigation" (A-J, 3-25). I cannot believe that Dr. Butler's conviction is being appealed. The man was found guilty on 47 counts and only received two years and a small fine. I think this is a very dangerous man and should not be allowed out into the public. I don't care how "nice" he seems or what a good-ol'-boy he is: Anyone who did what he did must have a...

In arguments Wednesday, many of the justices questioned whether the words "under God" represented government intrusion into religious doctrine or belief. Justice Sandra Day O'Connor said there "so many references to God" in public affairs, noting "In God We Trust" was on U-S currency and coins. She added the Supreme Court opens all its public sessions with the words, "God save the United States and this honorable Court." Besides, noted Justice David Souter, even if the words "under God" represented religion "in actual practice, it's an affirmation in the mindset...

A few years ago, I wrote about my efforts to avoid regret concerning my grandfather's life. At that point, I had noticed my selfishness and had decided to put forth an effort to get to know the man before he passed on. To a point, I followed my own advice. My grandfather, my Papa, died on St. Patrick's Day, March 17th, 2004. Emily and I were down in Austin on her parent's land watching their house. They've got a pair of baby goats that are still bottle-fed, so Emily and...

I read a story on cnn.com this morning that caused me a little bit of grief. It's the story of the boy who barricaded himself in his house after killing an officer responding to his house. All in all, the story was sad. Someone's child killed themselves, a pregnant wife lost her husband, and the city has to figure out how to make sense of it all. But at the very bottom of the page, a Minister, committed a heinous act. He whore'd himself out to the media. Here's the...

A few months back, I wrote of my success with the Salling Clicker applescripts via Bluetooth on my iBook. (i realize 98% of you didn't understand any of that) Basically, on my cellphone, I can control my iBook. I can change songs, albums, watch movies, or even use the joystick on my Sony Ericcson T616 to control the mouse. Well, for the few Mac people out there, I have something else to recommend. Yellow Mug software is making some cool tools these days, but I think the best is the...

There's a ridiculous movie coming out with the likes of Snoop, Method Man, Tom Arnold, and others about an airline with Soul. Just watch the trailer, it's like nothing you'll ever see again....
