Michael Jackson versus Jimmy Cagney

Posted on July 13, 2009 | Comments Off on Michael Jackson versus Jimmy Cagney

It’s the dancer Michael Jackson that I remember. That was years ago, before the plastic surgery and the scandals. He did and still reminds me of Jimmy Cagney, not because I’m old enough to have seen Cagney in person or his movies upon their release. I saw these two (in three clips) on television when I was a kid in the 1950s and the boob tube played lots of old black-n-white movies. What a dancer Cagney was.

Sarah has deeply disappointed her enemies

                                                                                    –Ann Coulter.

Or filing frivolous ethics complaints, after first issuing a press release about them. But of course.

UPDATE:  Willie Brown’s take: Sarah Palin, political genius.

Happy Birthday, Nikola

Belated, of course. About sixty-six years belated, but who’s counting? I’m still waiting for some smart cookie to figure out how to transmit electricity wirelessly. Nikola ran out of money with it, alas. So far, we haven’t even figured out how to store electricity. Problems, problems. Come back Nikola, all is forgiven.

First-Person Shooter Disease

Posted on July 10, 2009 | Comments Off on First-Person Shooter Disease

Well, I got wrist pain playing Doom and its successor Quake years ago. Later, it came back with Halo 1 (whose space music I still listen to incessantly). So, each time, I used a little wrist brace and wore it until the pain went away. Fortunately, it was nothing like this.

Should America ban the burqa?

Posted on July 5, 2009 | Comments Off on Should America ban the burqa?

We mock the French and their military losses. But only they have the guts to ban the burqa. Not that I expect our affirmative action president to have the nerve to sack the head-to-toe shroud, but still…
