Joseph Phillips has written a very insightful piece at Big Hollywood, http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/jphillips/2010/03/15/conservative-or-conservationist/#more-320078 Read the whole thing, but here are a few excerpts: Not too long ago I was in my hometown of Denver, Colorado. I was speaking at a luncheon sponsored by the Claremont Institute of which I am a Lincoln fellow. I was on the phone [...] Sorry, the site doesn’t have embedding. I thought Floyd and the other 3-donians still subscribing to HBO could learn something from this documentary… http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/clips/the-phil-donahue-show/2857/ Share on Facebook The Daily Show With Jon Stewart Even Better Than the Real Thing www.thedailyshow.com Daily Show For those of you who have bothered to keep up with this post, http://www.threedonia.com/archives/21241 First, I apologize for the poor quality of the original post. Sincerely. I am very busy outside of threedonia lately and do [...] Embedding is disabled on youtube, but check this out, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJQcol7HevI That was a popular music video in the ’80s and I guarantee you none of us here who are old enough to remember it batted an eyelash when we saw it. The culture had very successfully convinced most everyone under the age of ‘40 that Reagan [...] Buzz on this documentary has been heating up in the blogosphere lately and, as www.threedonia.com’s resident evil industrialist I figure I ought to comment on it. I am awaiting this movie the same way Porvaznik and JohnFN await the first pitch on opening day! I hope to see it in a theater. If not, I’ll buy [...] The quote, “Writing about music is like dancing about architecture” has been attributed to everyone from Thelonius Monk to Frank Zappa to Elvis Costello to Steve Martin. Its origin is hard to pin down, but I’ve always liked the sentiment; the two things (writing/music or dancing/architecture) are so unrelatable that it is nonsensical to attempt [...] On March 3, 1887 Anne Sullivan began tutoring Helen Keller, blind deaf and mute from an illness suffered in infancy. Helen later went on to play the dual roles of Cathy and Patty Lane on a television reality show about newspaper editors in 1950’s New York. Share on Facebook I don’t want to belong to any Congress that would have me as a member. As I wrote in an earlier post, I think the Republicans failed to hit a home run today. They made some good, key points, but I think they failed to communicate what is most essential. Here is a [...] The Emperor Legislator has no clothes. I heard some of today’s Health Care summit on the radio, but I have not seen any of the footage. Who won? From what I’ve heard I think the Republicans did, but it was like a baseball game where both teams allow a few runs to score because [...] Alright, Threedonia! You are all smarter than me, so I thought I’d ask for some help. The below passage from Luke was the Gospel reading at Catholic churches around the wide, wide world this week. I’ve heard it plenty of times, but on this hearing I noted two things I had not noticed before. I [...] From Jambands.com The mergatroid has gotten out of skew with the frazzmatazz, rendering the whoozit unusable at frequency levels above 7,000 kilofrazzles, so I’ve got to go into the main boiler room at threedonia world headquarters and tighten the jibowitz. If you notice anything out of wack in the next 1 hour to 3 days, please blame [...] I just wrote the following comment. If any of you need proof that I am correct, see if you can get through the below audio clip. I apologize in advance for subjecting you to this, but sometimes knowledge requires pain. They are angry because the world is not perfect. We do not all own [...] The Sea of White actually made me naseous after awhile. Why, oh why won’t these people listen to Keith Olbermann and give up their racist movement? Share on Facebook
“What in the wide, wide world of sports is going on here?!” I’ve put off this post for a long, long time. Except to folks like me it’s a mind-stultifyingly boring topic, and one practically requires a PhD in numismatics to comprehend it. But, the federal budget is in the news a [...] (Today’s threedonia mailbag day. I recently got an e-mail from another, avid reader who asked for some tips regarding the fairer sex. In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, I’ll share my e-mail reply (with his name excised) here in this post. I’m very interested in your opinions (please spout off in the comments), and I’m [...] [I received the below e-mail and the above picture from an avid threedonia reader in China. I know we've also got some readers in Russia. If we could just get a few in Cuba we'd have the Communist world covered. (Brian, I deleted your last name. If you want folks to know more about [...] Ms. McArdle exercising her 2nd amendment rights. At a rather young age (10?) I recall reading an article about standardized tests. Researchers were doing studies to determine if standardized tests unfairly measured “low income” and/or “minority” children. The example they used was one of those common, simile problems often used to test a kid’s [...] www.threedonia.com was down for over eight hours today because: 1. Steve Jobs’s evil Apple minions hacked into our server because we slammed the iMaxiPad iPad? B) NAMMB (National Association of Men with Man-Boobs) issued a court injunction against us, claiming our site practices hate speech? 3. A Russian syndicate hit us with a denial of service attack protesting the [...] “It’s a dessert topping. No, it’s a floor wax…” Has a man with less ability ever made so much selling so little? In my opinion Steve Jobs has been selling more sizzle than steak, a lot more, and charging a premium mark-up for that sizzle for years. The iPad is a perfect [...]
I didn’t see any embedding on the website (our tax dollars at work!), but if you click on the picture, or here, you should be taken to the site. I love Threedonia! About ten days ago I was held captive in an Hospital emergency room while this program was on. I found it fascinating, [...] “Forget them, Wendy. Forget them all.” Since the subject of home schooling has come up I thought I’d share an article I read recently. It’s very interesting. I really recommend it. The article can be found here, http://www.spiritmag.com/features/article/the_happiest_man_on_earth/ Here are a few snippets: On Logan’s parents’ homestead, at the edge of an orchard-covered mesa overlooking the [...] I’m way behind on the posts and comments, so if someone’s already posted this, forgive me. I see Floyd did a post on Mrs. Simmons’ death. If anyone is having trouble understanding why she was such a big deal this clip from Guys and Dolls ought to add clarity. Share on Facebook Share on Facebook In five days (January 27th), President Barack Obama will deliver his first State of the Union address. I’m sure it will be a decent speech. He has a staff of crack writers and with 371 days in office they’ll have no problem finding 60 minutes of material. But in reality, by any method one chooses [...] What do you do when your candidate loses by almost the exact margin every poll predicted? Blame the voting machines, of course! This just in at the Democratic Underground: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389×7522423 Share on Facebook Screenplay by Roger Ebert, He’s an artiste! A few weeks ago Outlaw posted a very nice article by Roger Ebert. I took the occasion to speak my mind about Roger in the comments. I also received a lot of heat at John Nolte’s old place for stating a negative opinion of Mr. Ebert. Why? About ten years [...] Rich, I think it’s more than a radical element within the faith. This ebbs and flows throughout history in direct proportion to how much power Islam has within a country, or the world. Mohammed (and his twin, Muhammed) was a religious leader AND a political leader. He led the citizens of Mecca for decades, and he [...] I’ll be out of pocket for a bit. Here’s wishing you all a very happy, healthy and prosperous 2010! Share on Facebook If you could be anywhere on planet Earth tomorrow to ring in the New Year, where would you be? We’ve already learned curmudgeonly JohnFN doesn’t like to celebrate the holiday, and would prefer to be in an empty newsroom, but for those of you who are not cynical agoraphobics, pick a spot! Share on Facebook das ist Nummerwang! O.K., it’s almost New Year’s Eve. You get to plan a party. A dinner party. Which living and/or historical figures would you choose to ring in 2010 with? And, to make it extra tricky you cannot choose Jesus H. Christ nor any of the original apostles. Share on Facebook (repost from last year) If any of you find yourself with overly anxious kids underfoot tomorrow steer them towards NORAD’s Santa Tracker. It’s been an annual tradition in the Firefly household for at least 8 years now. The site has frequent updates on where and when Santa’s been sighted, and includes fun games and videos to [...] “any resemblance to cardboard is purely coincidental” For those of you who many not read every post and every comment (I know, I skip over most of Floyd and JohnFN’s stuff too) you may have missed a comment from trzupr to one of his seventeen siblings regarding something called, “oplatek.” Being a Polish word there [...] One of my favorite things about this time of year is the music. A lot of my favorite music is Christmas themed and you simply cannot listen to it in July. Also, a lot of the music is simple enough that even I can play it on piano.

Rich has done some excellent reporting on “Climategate.” From what I’ve heard, Russia has been pin-pointed as the source of the hack that made the CRU e-mails public. Not a surprise. Russia is chock-full of expert computer hackers. However, I haven’t heard any speculation in the media about this aspect of the story. Rich, what do [...] The College Widow got me thinking… I really do like that video of James Brown performing “Gravity,” and it’s Friday… Back in the Old Dirty Harry’s Place days Floyd, John Nolte and I had a tradition of sharing moments from classic films that we loved on Fridays (John carried the tradition on to Big Hollywood and an [...] “On the 3rd planet from the Sun, I’ve been trying to get the funky job done!” Wow! Mighty Skip has just made my month! And in a month that includes Christmas that’s sayin’ something’. I really like James Brown and I am a big fan of his song, “Gravity.” I hesitate to [...] Share on Facebook On 9/11 one of our avid readers noticed a dearth of coverage on Google, a site that will alter their logo for the most minimal anniversary, like 347 years since the invention of cottage cheese. On the same day the search engine Bing had a well done photographic tribute that noted the significance of [...] |
