We the Media

Why doesn't the lamestream media take me seriously?

Every Friday or so I do a 15 minute radio show on a FOX! Sports affiliate based in Aurora. That's their shiny logo to the right. Since we talk about everything from python hunts in Florida to the history of the Gospels there is one simple rule in place; I must be able to verify publicly any sources I cite. It has never once interfered with the show. I apply the same basic rule here and provide links that you, yes you, can click to find out more about anything you are reading about. FOX! News, which is a very different animal than FOX! Sports, takes a different tack. Instead of verifiable sources they use the, ever popular, "some people say" … [Read more...]

Hippoteers having fun!

Two weeks before Christmas I quit smoking. That becomes salient about now. A couple of days before Christmas a guy I know, marginally, told me that he needed me to appear at such and such bar so he could win a beer. I figured that if knowing me was worth a beer then being me had to be worth two or three. The thing is that, prior to quitting smoking, the trip would have been beyond me. I simply wouldn’t have had the endurance. But, even then I was feeling a lot better so I agreed to drop by. I wandered into the establishment at the appointed time and was greeted by the, self-proclaimed, Hippoteers. First the demographics; there are 4 … [Read more...]

Some days I end up staring at the news stories the Nude Hippo robot drops off each morning and wonder how I'm going to make anything coherent out of them. Other mornings are laid out as neatly as if they'd been vetted by interns. Every now and then, however, there's nothing I can do but punt. It's just a weird overload. And, by that, I mean there's way too much weird in the world today. Let's start with an easy one. The bright people of Derby, Connecticut just elected James J. Butler to their city counsel. All well and good except for one teeny weeny problem. He wasn't running. James R. Butler was. Even better is the fact that, legally, … [Read more...]

New Nude News

October 14, 2011 by

If you're like me, and your therapist thanks God that you're not, but if you are - or were - then there are times when your mind is going to turn to naked women. That time is usually between sun up and sun up on any given day. Certainly this blog has come out in favor of smoking hot women getting naked to support worthy causes. But only worthy causes, we're not cads. And, being that we agree with Michelle Obama that Americans need to get out and exercise more, we can see no greater example to follow than the famous nude rugby scrum in Dunedin England. That is not to confused with a nude Dumbledore, even though both have British roots. And, … [Read more...]
