Round 1 For Liberty

The decision declaring the Obamacare health plan unconstitutional is but the first round in a heavyweight fight… but I am very heartened.

Here’s the ruling…

A summary judgment is nice because it basically finds the question to be obvious enough as to not require a trial. Even if reversed, that means there will still be [...]

John Barry — R.I.P.

Legendary film composer John Barry has died at age 77. There are really too many movie scores to choose from… the James Bonds, Dances With Wolves, Out of Africa, etc., etc. so I chose my favorite Bond theme. From the London Telegraph:

Born John Barry Prendergast in 1933, the York-born musician first found fame [...]

Radio Free Threedonia — 1/30/2011 (updated)

Great show today, folks, so even if you felt the need to watch the most popular best NFL stars not in Steelers or Packers jerseys instead of listening live to the best (slightly under) two hours of entertainment on the interwebs, you can still click right here to catch it all.

Artist and liberal skewer-er [...]

I’m Your Superman

Zack Snyder has cast Henry Cavill, a Brit, as Superman for the 12/2012 scheduled Superman film.

He’s not exactly a metro… and I’m counting on Snyder to know exactly how to use him to erase any memory of anything between Superman 2 and this reboot.

Egypt — Updates

Here’s the Washington Post’s liveblog of the Egyptian uprising….

Al-Jazeera has been shut down and the Muslim Brotherhood have backed El Baradei to take over. Still too early to tell since I don’t believe the only choices are U.S. friendly dictatorship or Islamist dictatorship — especially since Mubarak used that line for 30 years [...]

3D Weekend Five: A Little Nosh Music

In honor of…some game that’s next week, what’s your idea of the perfect half-time menu?  Grub and/or libations.

5. Wings.  BBQ’d, preferably.  And get that nasty-ass bleu cheese dip away from me.

4.  Popcorn. Lately Five’s been all about the microwave kettle kind.

3.  Pizza. For when tailgating is not an option.

2.  Layer dip. [...]

Saturday Open Thread

Thomas Paine was born this date in 1737.

From the Trailer Park — Soul Surfer

I don’t know if this will be any good, but the underlying story is heartwarming. I assume this is one of the consequences of The Blind Side… if so, kudos to them. I like the cast too, even Helen Hunt. Even if I’m not sure I’ll see it — I hope it does very [...]
