It don't get no wronger than this...

...Athiests giving out porn for Bibles. Way to prove you have a positive agenda to offer folks. I have known a number of atheists over the years who could respect the religious, even though they disagreed with them violently. Obviously, this group wants nothing to do with such reasoned discussion of the issues.

What if Liberals Hated Football?

Thanks to Shadowmom for turning me on to the following article. It is an editorial piece in the Carolina Journal. It is a spoof, written as if the current Iraq War critics in the media turned their attention to a recent Monday Night Football game. The Colts beat the Steelers 26-7 in the game. Here is a sample from the article

"The staunch Pittsburgh defense, though out-manned and out-gunned, managed to battle the Colts to a standstill in the second quarter, allowing them only six points. Those familiar with the Colts say this second-quarter swoon reveals a lack of depth on offense due to unmet recruitment goals during the off-season."

Enjoy!!!

It's only a matter of time...

Serenity Sequel On the Way?

So they say. Amusingly, this may be the first time that a TV show inspires a movie... which inspires a TV show.

Camera Store Apologizes, Fires Employee Over Blogger Experience

Yesterday, I posted a story about a blogger who had been brutally abused by an online camera store. Well, today the same blogger has posted an apology letter and an offer by the owner of the company to make it right. Apparently, plenty of sunlights *IS* the way to kill the unsightly mildew rotting the corners of the web.

I received a call this morning from Ed Lopez, the owner of PriceRitePhoto. We spoke at length and he told me that the activity that has resulted from my post on my experience with his business has most certainly impacted his business. Mr. Lopez told me that he was calling to apologize and that Mr. Philips was going to be terminated at a company board meeting later on this morning. He confirmed to me that they do have the camera in question in stock and although I am not interested in purchasing it from them at this point indicated that he would sell it for me at the advertised price.

It is a good ending to this story, though I am sure the blogger would never have gotten satisfaction had it not been for his story making its way to mega-poster sites like Digg.Com and Slashdot.Org. But perhaps a few more examples like this will reduce the number of crooked companies operating online. Or at least provide a little more buyer-beware-ability.

DealCatcher

The main online deal listing site that CRChair and I used to use - dealfinder.com - went under a little while ago. But there are others ready to take up the mantle of "King of the Online Deals"! Consider DealCatcher.Com. For instance...

For a limited time, eBay is offering coupons when you use your Paypal account for select customers. Your guess is as good as mine as to what "select" customers means.
Note: If you want to test the coupon to make sure it works for you first, test it on a "Buy it now" item that requires immediate payment. If the coupon does not work for you during the immediate payment process, don't complete the transaction.

Worst Case Scenarios!

My Mom is one of those people who *ALWAYS* thinks of the worst case scenario in any situation, figuring if she is mentally prepared for that, then she is prepared for whatever may come. (The theory doesn't work for me, but then I tend to think of WAY too many potential worst cases... occasionally involving nuclear war or biological disasters.) Well, this site may be perfect for her, as Popular Mechanics walks you thru how to survive most of the truly worst case scenarios.

Be sure to scan thru the "Abducted By Aliens" article. It is hilarious.
