What’s with the “sweetie?”

The chicks really hate to be called “sweetie,” especially when they are the masculine type who don’t want to stay home and cook and clean for her man.
End sarcasm.

I’m not a huge fan of denial of service attacks. But then I recall that Scientology has used denial of service attacks and many other things to intimidate critics and anyone who dares to reveals details of their copyrighted religion.
And here’s Mr. Cruise explaining how only Scientologists can help other [...]

And this CNN commentator says Obama is forming a huge coalition:

And on the lighter side:

Hackers hit Scientology with online attack.

Who said this?
As for me, I think one of the reasons quality journalism is in retreat these days is because we haven’t spent enough time and effort truly covering our communities. We spend way too much time on he-said, she-said local political scandals and deadly dull town council meetings and not enough time really showing [...]

Yeah. It was a bad sensor. Sure. NASA can bully the mainstream media into pretending a giant spider didn’t attack the shuttle as it waited to launch, but thanks to the Blogosphere and YouTube, we know different. The truth is out there!

This did not, to the best of my knowledge, happen anywhere near Peoria. But it should be of interest to anyone who thinks they ought to try to beat an oncoming train. This trucker apparently thought he could, then had trouble getting across in time:

Laugh if you must. The truth is that the guy was making his first attempt at reading the sports report at a college television station. I’ve done live radio many, many times and I’m fairly certain I’d be [...]

For those who click on YouTube videos, here is what he said when asked during an MTV forum whether for his position on NetNeutrality:

“Would you make it a priority in your first year of office to re-instate Net Neutrality as the law of the land? And would you pledge to only appoint FCC commissioners that [...]

I’ll be the first to admit that I’ve given pit bulls a rough time on this blog. So in the interest of fairness, I feel compelled to post this video, which provides at least a little evidence not all pits are vicious killers.
Of course, for all we know, this animal just likes playing with his [...]

A brief documentary that begins to describe “citizen journalism,” via YouTube. I thought it might be interesting viewing before today’s Blogger Bash:

And then there’s this 1992 segment on “Entertainment Tonight” that pretty much marginalizes the alternative media at the time:

No real mention is made of the hundreds of news and information that reached the public [...]
