Filed under Weblogging
Comments Off

Not enough people signed up for the weblogger MeetUp. Bummer. The next one is around 05.19. I’ll be bugging TAM readers when the date gets closer.

Opinion Duel

Filed under Uncategorized
Comments Off

Think of Opinon Duel (thank goodness, it doesn’t have another “hip” one-word name) as Crossfire and Hannity & Colmes, but with a whole lot more intelligence and substance. Right now, The New Republic’s Jonathon Chait and National Review’s Ramesh Ponnuru are debating pre-Sept. 11 intelligence mistakes.

Don Boudreaux has an outstanding post on job loss and economic change. Here’s just a portion:
50 years ago this month, Dr. Jonas Salk launched nationwide testing of his polio vaccine. Within an incredibly short time (and with help from the researches and refinements of Dr. Albert Sabin), polio was effectively wiped out as a health […]

Cam Edwards Live!

Filed under Weblogging
Comments Off

I’m finally watching Cam Edwards on NRA News. He’s good, but how long can a guy keep talking about a single issue (guns and the 2nd. Amendment)? And how long can someone listen to a single issue show?

Don’t Just Sit There…Give!

Filed under War
Comments Off

Here’s the deal: the Marines want to get seven Iraqi television stations up and running so the populace can watch something other than al-Jazeera. The Spirit of America is collecting donations for equipment it will send to Iraq. It’s now the mission of a few webloggers to fill SoA’s coffers so we can help out […]

All it took was Kerry talking to some kids. Make your own and send me an e-mail. A good one might make a Kerry’s House of Ketchup.

Kerry’s House of Ketchup #8

Filed under John Kerry

Hey boys and girls, it’s time for another adventure onto the campaign trail of a man who may or may not have committed war crimes in Vietnam. It’s time for Kerry’s House of Ketchup. And now we have the “voice” of the Senator himself gracing this fine periodical. There’s more clever “ads” at the John […]

Citizen Smash’s vacation pics reminded me that I have some Spring Training pics. I put a few up on Yahoo and will get more up when I get around to networking my notebook with my new desktop.

Meetup Milwaukee

Filed under Wisconsin
Comments Off

Milwaukee-area webloggers have never joined in the Meetup phenomenon. Let’s change that this Wednesday, at 7:00 at Pizza Shuttle (map). If enough people sign up (need two more) I’ll be there with a smile on my face and a digital camera in hand (the latter shouldn’t scare you off).

Quote of the Day

I think that Law & Order is kind of comfort food for the mind. It’s also visual nicotine. It’s very seductive. You get that same nice, comfortable roller-coaster ride whenever you tune in.
–Law & Order creator Dick Wolf.

A New Addition to the TAM Family

Filed under Tech

TAM now has more speed and power. The problems I’ve been having with my 3+ year-old WinME machine pushed me to get a new desktop. Last weekend, I got it. I haven’t used my Sam’s Club membership in a long time, but I paid for my membership fee with this Compaq running an Athalon XP […]

Get a Clue…Everyone!

Filed under Terrorism
Comments Off

Hey idiots! Respond to Jamie Gorelick’s conflicts of interest in a more constructive way: ignore or denounce the Sept. 11 commissions tainted findings. Don’t threaten her with violence or other forms of (dare I say) terrorism.
And Oliver, lose the knee-jerk partisanship. You’re better than that.
