Site title change..

By Marc • Aug 29th, 2005 • Category: the Site

Well, I have decided to change the title here. It was mostly inspired by I comment I made over at jimmyakin.org. Since I jump around so wildly on topics, I just couldn’t help it.
Also, I haven’t been very good about posting lately. There’s a good reason for that, but [...]



40 Things That Only Happen In Movies

By Marc • Aug 21st, 2005 • Category: Pop Culture

Here’s a list of 40 things that only happen in movies.

Steve’s got a pretty funny Protestant story on his blog at Defenders of the Catholic Faith.
It’s similar to one I heard before.
Six people are stranded on a deserted island. Three of them are Catholic. Three of them are Anglican. Three of them are Baptist. The three Catholics go off and build [...]



Deep Sea Creature Gallery

By Marc • Aug 4th, 2005 • Category: the Weirdo

I found this over on digg.com. It’s a gallery of deep sea creatures, and boy do they look wild.
Of course Suzette said, “No matter how ugly they are, they might be tasty!”.
Go digg the story here.



New York Times says, “Bush Bypassing Senate”

By Marc • Aug 1st, 2005 • Category: In Other News...., the Ranter

Why is it that the New York times makes Bush’s recess appointment of Bolton sound like his own version of “Screw you guys, I’m going home!”?
U.S. Constitution, Article II, Section 2, Clause 3:
The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting [...]
