Filed under Politics
Comments Off

William O’Rourke didn’t see the grass-roots movement in California to recall Gov. Gray Davis. He should talk to Greg Ransom who has pages of links on the whole effort.

Supporting Bo Black

Filed under Summerfest

Charlie Sykes honors the years of service of Summerfest’s head honcho, Bo Black. He, like myself, wonder why the festival’s governing board wants her gone.
In the beginning, it was possible to dismiss Bo as Milwaukee’s version of Blonde Ambition, an attractive former Playboy cover model who had vamped her way into the job. There was […]

Battlestar Galactica Returns

Filed under Miscellaneous
Comments Off

Set your TiVo for December 7. That’s when Battlestar Galactica returns to television. Cylon fighters and Colonial Vipers will be blasting away at each. Hopefully we’ll see more than the 5-10 scenes they used in every episode of the original series.
One problem I’m having is I’m lusting for the new, female Starbuck. Dirk Benedict, […]

Summerfest Day 5 Preview

Filed under Summerfest

Through four days attendance is less than 10% down from last year. That’s not bad considering the bad weather Friday and Saturday. Fewer people also gives those that did come some much-needed breathing room. 90-100 thousand people crammed into Maier Festival Park can make for a less-than-great fest experience. Now, on to the preview for […]

Coping with Loss

It hasn’t been 48 hours since I found out my cousin died, but it feels like its been days. At least in my house things are “normal.” Mom, Dad, sis, and myself are all going about our business. Still, the event hangs like a fog over us all. We all know it’s there so […]

Hooters Air

Want to go to Myrtle Beach? You can get there on Hooters Air. I heard the food on the flight is great, and there are great things to see.

Stoopid Texans

Filed under Politics
Comments Off

What disturbed me about the Supreme Court ruling tossing out Texas’ sodomy law is that it ignored that state’s ability to self-govern. I see the issue a little differently than the civil rights battle of the 60s because those battles dealt with post-Civil War constitutional amendments. In the case of homosexuality, there is no mention […]

TAM Publically Traded

Filed under Weblogging
Comments Off

I wasn’t sure what to do with my RSS feed. What I must have done was sign up with Syndic8 because now TAM is listed on Blogshares. People even own shares. Does that mean TAM’s now beholden to his shareholders? Is there some Zen thing that goes like this: if you have an IPO, […]

Summerfest Day 3

Filed under Summerfest

So far, Summerfest’s attendence is about 15% below last year. That’s not a bad thing because being situated on a mile-long strip of lakeshore, there’s only so many people that can pack into the place. One reason for the drop off may be re-focusing of musicians and events away from a younger crowd. But another […]

Listen to Cam Edwards‘ latest Diatribe. It’s that button on the right side of his weblog. It’s funny, funny, funny, and after today’s events, I needed that.
