Kevin’s post on a pet law in Utah reminds me of my favorite movie line of all time:*
Dogs and cats living together. Mass hysteria!
I’ll let the audience guess the movie and actor. It shouldn’t take too long.
“Cats And Dogs Don’t Mix”
UPDATE: I’m surprised–no, shocked–no one’s guessed the quote. Maybe since I’m not a movie geek […]

Ken Jennings finally lost on Jeopardy! The questions were really hard. Plus Jennings missed some Daily Doubles. His mistakes combined with Nancy Zerg’s, the eventual winner, lack of mistakes only gave Jenning a $4400 lead going into Final Jeopardy. The Zerg got the correct answer while Jennings got it wrong while wagering too much. He […]

In a startling announcement even for the morally lax Netherlands a hospital has admitted it kills children in the name of “mercy.”
The Health Ministry is preparing its response to the request, a spokesman said, and it may come as soon as December.
Three years ago, the Dutch parliament made it legal for doctors to inject […]
Michele’s review of The Da Vinci Code makes me happy I’ve ignored that neverending bestseller. She writes,
As a novel, TDC is pedestrian. The plot is thin, the codes are easily seen by the reader before the characters break them, the plot twists are either telegraphed or inconceivable to the point of absurdity and the ending […]
Weblogging can be said to have “made it” when the most well-known legal scholar and a Nobel Prize winner are teaming up for their own personal publishing enterprise.

In Milwaukee and the Midwest Black Friday’s shopping was brisk but it tailed off on Saturday and Sunday. A manager of a Milwaukee mall said, “Saturday was pretty flat, or down.” In the story we may have an explanation for Wal-Mart’s lackluster November:
While retailers Boston Store, J.C. Penney and Sears, Roebuck & Co. drew crowds […]
That is the amazing career of Brett Favre. Last night, he started his 200th consecutive regular season game at quarterback. He set that record years ago. Through pain and occasional lousy play Favre persevered. Against the Rams he through for just over 200 yards and tossed three touchdowns. It sounds cliche, but we may never […]
Consider this the next time you’re using IRC (Internet Relay Chat):
In April 2003, the CIA agreed to fund a series of research projects that the documents indicate were intended to create “new capabilities to combat terrorism through advanced technology.” One of those projects is research at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, N.Y., devoted to […]
While I’m watching the Packers battle the Rams (hopefully the succeed better than my fantasy football team) ponder the possiblity of Wal-Mart having sluggish early Christmas season sales while retail as a whole appearing to be doing well. Professor Bainbridge thinks we’re seeing an income effect. With a stronger economy than in year’s past people […]
Brett Favre will start for an unprecedented 200th straight game tonight against the St. Louis Ram. Because of this Gov. Doyle has declared today Brett Favre Day. So wear your #4 jersey, reminisce about last year’s incredible Monday night game against Oakland, and wonder if the Packers can scrounge up a defense good enough to […]
Laurence imagines a razor that hasn’t even been invented yet. When it does you’ll read about it here.

I’ve created at new catagory devoted to “new stuff.” This isn’t Engadget or Gizmodo. It’s much broader than that. I’m talking about new flavors of soda, new fast food items, new home products…new stuff. If you find something […]
I’m glad someone else admits that Desparate Housewives satisfies their Teri Hatcher fix. But I don’t concur with Jay Tea that it’s a “chick show.” It has hot women, always a positive, but its darkly comedic with touching moments of real humanity–especially tonight’s show. It’s easily the best show on television.

The work done by some reporters may shut up Keith “Go Back to Sports” Olbermann, but I guarantee you years from now some Lefties will passionately believe Karl Rove did something to steal Florida.
