Expansion of the Dictionary

Great news today, there were new words added to the English dictionary today.  What does this means to the majority of us?  Not much of anything.  What it does mean is that college kids now have a larger array of words in which they can use without getting a lower score.

What's on That?

Had to work on the car so I wasn't able to catch the news.  I have, however, had a chance to watch a little Food Network.  I find it hard to believe that no one can figure out why Americans are so overweight.  Just watch some of the cooking shows and/or food travel shows.  It is very obvious to anyone if you ask me!

Authors Gone Wild

I have a really good one tonight.  This one actually shows how the major publishers are causing authors to take stupid and drastic measures to prevent piracy.

Halloween

I apologize to anyone that didn't like the non-rant post from earlier.  I've been attempting to build stations that are as enjoyable as what I had heard on SiriusXM prior to ending the service.  I believe I have not only done that but, with a lot of help, have actually created better.  But enough of that, back to the ranting.  There are a couple of reasons tonight's rant.  Both of which are completely annoying.

Slacker Radio

Anyone interested in some good streaming music?  If so, there are some new links on the to the right for a page listing the band/artist included.  Please take a listen and feel free to add a comment giving a suggestion or two on missing bands/artists.

No One's There

Had a great evening out with my wife, dinner and a movie at the cheap theater ($1.75 per person) and saw Men in Black 3.  Very good movie!  And that caused me to miss all television viewing tonight.  With such a wonderful night (without the kids for a change) you might think I would have nothing to complain about.  Of course you would be wrong on that one.  I had a couple of examples of stupid people sightings on the way home.

No Wonder They're Greedy

Nothing regarding what I saw on the news tonight as a particular advertisement has been really bothering me.  The events in Wisconsin are very tragic and I feel for the families effected, but I am not going to rant here because even the supremacist groups that he "belonged" to denounced his actions.  Perhaps they are attempting to spread their message peacefully.  Nope, this one has a lot to do with why there is greed among our young folks.

Statistical Stupidity

Hey, ready for a quick bonus rant?  Glad to hear it!  This one is something from the local news regarding another situation of half the story.  They talked about a way in which Syracuse, NY got in a publication.

Warnings

Caught a bit of the news tonight.  One of the stories just really bugged the living you know what out of me.  It has to do with the shooting that happened in Colorado.

I Know Better Because I Work Here

What a long day!  Between work and the fiasco I'm about to talk about I not only missed the news but didn't get home until after the kids went to bed.  I don't think anything on the news could have topped this one anyway.
