Over the weekend, Google highlighted the Chinese New Year – the year of the pig – with a couple of the porkers dancing in place of the "Os" in its name. But today, the Internet behemoth that recognizes holidays and special events with modifications to its logo declined to recognize the birthday of George Washington, "the father of our country" and the first president of the United States.

Do you ever sit down in front of the TV, bag of chips in hand--and before you realize it, you've finished the entire bag? (There actually is an official medical term for this: dreaded empty bag syndrome.)
Or after you've finished dinner, do you find yourself watching TV and eating more, even though you're not really hungry? Or looking around your home for a snack more out of boredom than out of hunger?

Oklahoma has inspired its share of songs and one memorable musical. But it's not exactly a top destination for recent college graduates looking for work. Usually, 22-year-olds flock to cosmopolitan cities like New York and San Francisco, assuming that's where they'll find the most opportunities for work (and, let's be honest, a social life). But they might be heading in the wrong direction. Oklahoma City made it on to our list of the 25 best American cities to get a job. New York's ranking? No. 75.

Political correctness and the left wing labels that stifle debate
by

on Mon 19 Feb 2007 05:43 PM EST
Once
upon a time there existed something in our universities, the media and
amongst the cognoscenti called debate. Debate was a process whereby
people on both sides of the argument would put their positions and, for
the most part, that which was superior became the prevailing order of
the day.
This is no longer the case.

He says He's God... his followers are getting "666" tattoos...
by

on Mon 19 Feb 2007 03:28 PM EST

The minister has the number 666 tattooed on his arm. But Jose Luis de Jesus Miranda is not your typical minister. De Jesus, or "Daddy" as his thousands of followers call him, does not merely pray to God: He says he is God. De Jesus' claims of divinity have angered Christian leaders, who say he is a fake. Religious experts say he may be something much more dangerous, a cult leader who really believes he is God.

Poland and the Czech Republic risk being targeted by Russian missiles if they agree to host a proposed U.S. missile defense system, a top Russian general warned Monday. Russia has been increasingly bellicose in its response to the U.S. proposal to build the missile defense system in Eastern Europe. President Vladimir Putin has said he does not trust U.S. claims that the system would be to guard the American East Coast and Europe from missiles launched from "rogue nations" in the Middle East.

The Muslim Lobby is doing cartwheels down Washington Avenue.

The 32-minute blast Vladimir Putin delivered at a recent security conference in Munich will go down as a classic. America's "uncontained" militarism, the Russian president declared, has created a world where "no one feels safe anymore," and where other nations feel almost forced to develop nuclear weapons in their own defense. U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates tried to laugh it off, joking that "as an old cold warrior" the speech had "almost filled me with nostalgia for a less complex time"—and went on to tout Washington's preference for partnership and good relations.

Georgia made international headlines last spring when it passed some of the toughest laws in the U.S. targeting illegal aliens within its borders.

A woman is driving north on Interstate 95. Three kids squirm in the back seat, and her sister, six months pregnant and having early contractions, sits in the front. The stress starts to simmer. Traffic slows, then crawls, then creeps. More stress. A car cuts in front of her, then scoots away. A short time later, it darts in again. She can no longer take it. She veers onto the shoulder and speeds up. Wham! She tosses a large McDonald's cup filled with ice into the other car.

Ghost Rider: The Bartender's Review
by
The Bartender
on Mon 19 Feb 2007 12:07 AM EST

First, I hate critics...in many cases, they just don't get 'it.' IT being that when most normal people go to see a film, they want to get AWAY from life for a bit... 'Ghost Rider' does that very well. As a comic book adaptation (READ- this is not 'Gone with the Wind') it is full of colorful bad guys, conflicted protagonists and of course, the hero's main squeeze, nicely portrayed by Eva Mendes's...
Someday, I may actually get up enough nerve to walk up to some Starbuck's sipping, Birkenstock wearing geek-critic and pull that self-righteous, pseudo-intellectual rod out of his/her ass... I'm sure their hatred for this film is compounded by the fact the hero is a Texan who makes a living being a daredevil with a death wish (Read- Testosterone) and had a father who he loved and loved him (Pro-Male). The soundtrack rocks with some Ozzy and ZZ Top, the motorcycles are gorgeous… this is truly a non-pussified guy flick.
Enjoy the film. No gay cowboys eating pudding, no 12 year old Dakota Fanning getting raped, no fat guy in glasses and a ball cap telling us how America sucks, no has-been presidential candidate feeding us lies about how the world is going to blow up… this is a fun film… go have fun!
