Just your average "Evil" conservative
A story on Wired points out that buying a gas/electric hybrid car may not get you the gas mileage you were hoping for.
“Honda’s Civic Hybrid is rated by the EPA to get 47 miles per gallon in the city, and 48 mpg on the highway. After nearly 1,000 miles of mostly city driving, Blackshaw was getting 31.4 mpg.”
I guess Ed Begley, Jr. is going to have to rethink his philosophy.
Ok, I went to see this movie on Sunday. What a disappointment. The script was very weak, and it seems the screenwriter didn’t really have a lot of original ideas. There were rip-offs of Bond films, Indiana Jones movies and others, and not very well disguised, either. Also, I didn’t like the actor playing Dracula, Richard Roxburgh. He wasn’t the worst Dracula I’ve ever seen, but he was definitely no Gary Oldman, either. And the Romanian accents were terrible. And was it just me, or did Hugh Jackman seem to slip in and out of whatever accent that was that he was trying to pull off?
This film reminded me quite a bit of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (Roxburgh was in that, too) in the fact that it was hyped very well, but the movie completely sucked. It will probably make a lot of money anyway, but if you’re expecting a good monster movie, wait for a rental. Better yet, wait for it to hit HBO.
Usama bin Laden has apparently offered 10,000 grams of gold for the death of Kofi Annan and his envoy to Iraq, Lakhdar Brahimi. I never thought I’d have anything in common with bin Laden, but apparently he hates the UN, too.
I just saw this story on Yahoo about a French police officer who was pulled over and found to be drunk and wearing only a pair of fishnet tights. He then admitted to being a part-time prostitute.
I just saw in the Guardian, a British regenrative dentist, Paul Sharpe, says they have been able to take stem cells from mice and grow a new tooth to replace one that is missing. They just implant it under the gum, it grows into a tooth and cements itself into the bone just like a regular tooth. He said the process should work the same on humans. How cool is that?
From Gizmodo:
DefenseTech reminds us that if circumstances find you walking the length of Norway’s coast, and you happen to see torpedo-shaped, yellowish-orange device with a propeller on one end–’bout say nine, ten feet long–call the U.S. Navy. They may have sort of lost one of their robotic mine-sweeping submarine drones.
From today’s Nuze:
And just who didn’t see this one coming? John Kerry wants Don Rumsfeld to resign. It doesn’t matter to The Poodle whether or not this will hurt our efforts in the war against terror. What matters to sKerry is the great points that he could score with the departure of Rumsfeld.
Maybe Kerry should just go ahead and get it over with. Call a press conference today and demand the resignation of Bush’s entire cabinet, the members of the Joint Chief’s of Staff and the Republican leadership of the House and Senate. That way no matter what happens over the next six months The Poodle will be able to say “Well, I saw this coming and called for ________’s resignation last May.”
Stupid idea? Yes. But remember, stupid people love stupid ideas and stupid people vote Democratic.
The top part is the ribbon, and the bottom part is the medal. See? That wasn’t so hard, was it?
So I’m at the gym last night, and I happen to be near a TV tuned to the Fox News Channel. So I’m watching (reading) the Factor. There also happened to be a basketball game on, which was getting much more attention. I believe it was San Antonio and Los Angeles, but I’m not really sure, I’m not much of a basketball fan, so I wasn’t really paying attention.
After the game had ended, and Fox was in commercial, I glanced over at the TV the game had been on, and they were doing the post-game show. Apparently Charles Barkley is now a commentator, and they were showing a sign some fan at the game had been holding up. They left it up on the screen for at least 15 seconds, and I wish I could have heard what they were saying. Nonetheless, the sign this lady was holding said:
“Barkley your an idiot“
Unbelievable. I bet she went to a government school.
I, of course, am a grammar god.
