Here’s another nice write-up on some more Google searching tricks.
I can’t get enough tips to help me hack through superfluous search results.

This pretty much sums it up for me — my disgust for the Global Warming Hysteria that grips us by the neck at every turn.
Wow, this is a really good article. It’s long, but it’s worth the 10 minutes it’ll take you to read it.
Here’s some more on the lifetime Democrat, Orson Scott Card.

Looks like Yi is going to play for the Bucks after all.
Smart move. He better be as big-time as his peeps think he is.

Case in point: 3 big questions
Here’s some of Donaghy’s stats:
Home Team Against the Spread: 30-41-3
He was in the bottom 13.3 % of all refs in this category, road teams had to love him, it was all about the spread. Scary thing is that 7 refs were worse, including Eddie Rush.
Over/Under
He was in the top 5% of all refs in the category (43-29 O/U). Jim Clark & Olandis pool were the only worse. 65% of the time the over was the way to go when he was officiating.
Compare to his stats from 2005-206
Home Team Against the Spread: The improbably perfect 32-32-2
Over/Under 36-30 in favor of the over.
In 2004-2005:
Home team ATS: 35-26-4
Over/Under in 2004-2005 was 29-35
In 2003-2004:
Home team ATS: 35-35-0
Over/Under: 30-39

How about this for referee Tim Donaghy and his crew during the 2006-2007 season (according to Stats LLC):
Technical fouls called - 1st
Personal fouls called - 4th
Free throws ordered - 3rd
Fouling out players - 2nd
In 68 games Donaghy officiated during the 2006-2007 season, 34 players fouled out - meaning the player was called for six fouls and forced to exit the game. The league average is 37 foul-outs per 100 games.
Donaghy averaged 2.6 technical foul calls a game - with 177 total called in games he worked, 20 more than the No. 2 ref, Ken Mauer

Apparently the creators of 24 have been drinking Al Gore’s Kool-Aid.
This is not a good sign for the future of the show. It’s not going to be long before this junk is going to make it into the storyline.
Way to alienate a rather large conservative fan base, guys!
(Lots of good discussion going on a NewsBusters.com…)

This could be bad.
I don’t expect Mark Cuban to be rubbing his hands together with a wry grin. Well….maybe.

Too bad the interview wasn’t long enough or serious enough.

Nice, humorous article here by Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel columnist Jim Stingl.
I echo the sentiments of the Chinese basketball fan cited in the article:
No tags for this post.…most Chinese fans want him to cut the crap and join the Bucks now.
I want to hear an interview with Yi Jianlian himself.
I want to hear it come out of his own mouth that he would rather go back and play in China than play for the Bucks in Milwaukee.
I don’t buy all the talk from the China coaches, his “handlers” or his agent, Dan Fegan.

No tags for this post.That may be true, but MySpace is a free-for-all jumble of annoying noises and pages that make me want to gouge out my eyes. Facebook, on the other hand, is built on clean and polished function. I’ll take that any day.

I’m up to 240 MB of e-mails stored in my Gmail account. I’m feeling the urge to clean stuff out. There’s no sense in keeping my eBay “You’ve been outbid” e-mails, you know?
I posted earlier about some Google filter tricks. Well, here’s a nice write-up from last year on some hidden labels that you can use.
“Label:sent has:attachment” has been particularly helpful.

Ahhh, battle of the nit-wits.
The fact that Sheehan is running against a liberal Democrat such as Pelosi shows me the people that are propping up Sheehan are reeally out there.
I never thought I would say it, but Sheehan’s a welcome distraction. Hehe.

I’ve been reading Michael Yon’s blog quite a bit lately. It’s a lot to read, but it’s very interesting, IMO.
This particular post, titled “Second Chances,” recounts the Al Qaeda massacre in Baqubah. He mentions stringers for the news agencies and how they gather verifiable information about events in the field.
You’ll have to read it for yourself.

Hmmm… Let’s organize huge concerts all over the world where artists and their drones jet in from all over the world to raise money to save the environment — all in typical, self-promoting, Hollywood style. Makes perfect sense.
222,623.63 miles travelled in route to events by stars (apologies for the disgusting pic of the 49 year-old Madonna)
Money raised at Live Earth events goes to a nonprofit (Alliance for Climate Protection), which is (of course) chaired by Al Gore.
Still think Al Gore isn’t running for office or at least going to throw his support behind some candidate? While all of the Mainstream Media is giving it airtime, Gore’s political machine is getting a huge cash infusion.
How different is he than Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, who find a cause and then find a camera?
I just don’t believe Al Gore’s altruistic persona.

The Celtics just got a whole lot better with this model of NBA skill and class. Though I would like to have seen Ray’s sweet “J” at the Sprint Center with the Sonics, I’m starting to be OK with this.
I hope the Durant and Green are busts, while Ray leads the league in 3’s and FT%. I can already start to hear the sweet music of of a 1-2 Allen and Pierce punch on the court.

Pointy Haired Boss: Wally, did you complete the benchmark tests?
Wally: No.
Pointy Haired Boss: Because?
Wally: Global Warming.
Pointy Haired Boss: What?
Wally: Well, normally this would have been a pleasant week, but thanks to you and your stupid SUV, it was too hot to work. Remember, if you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem.
Pointy Haired Boss: You work indoors.
Wally: Said the polluter.

Liberal bias makes me Sicko
Have you heard about Google blogger, Lauren Turner, who wrote this article and was forced by Google to “clarify” it?
I thought she made some valid points — points that seem to guide readers toward Google’s products.
What if Sicko (sorry, it doesn’t deserve a link) really is a distorted piece of propaganda by some do-as-i-say-not-as-i-do fat blob?
What’s the point of having corporate bloggers if you’re going wuss out under a little pressure?
