Well, yesterday it was a pizza-sized hole. Today, it’s a miscue from another AJC writer, Phil Kloer. I was looking at the movie review for Ice Age II and read this: Scrat is the name of the adorable little prehistoric squirrel-thingie in the 2002 movie “Ice Age,” whose wordless, fruitless pursuit of a single acorn …

Brooklyn Bridge: Bastion of Bomb-fearers
Little did we know but all we had to do in case of nuclear attack was go to the Brooklyn Bridge for supplies. I like this quote: “Also, there were cans of high-calorie crackers with instructions to consume 10,000 calories a day per person.” That’s a lot of crackers.

Five days ago we celebrated the Ides of March. Today we get to celebrate the our free annual trip around the sun! I like the solstices and equinoxes (equinoxae? equinices?) because no one has latched onto them like the Hallmark Holiday (Valentines Day) or Halloween. At 18:25 UTC (13:25 EST), we’ll be crossing the celestial …

The astute reader will note that two-and-a-half weeks have elapsed since last I deigned to cast my thoughts into cyberspace. There are many reasons, some of which are germane, and some of which boil down to laziness. A few of the germane reasons include: busy work environment, good books to read, American Idol to watch. …
Cheney: Inmate 3392209
So, what happens if the man who was accidentally shot by Vice President Cheney dies of his injuries? Will Cheney be faced with a reckless homicide or involuntary manslaughter charge? Shotgun-gate!
"Forced To Resign"
I was reading a NY Times article today concerning the difficulties Harvard’s President is having with his Faculty. Sounds like they are having fun up in Cambridge. However, that’s not the point of today’s random rambling. Inside the article was this phrase. “Some faculty members also say they would like the university’s governing board, the …
