Question: Who are your 5 five SNL cast members and why?
- Kristin Wiig - Her Penelope character cracks me up — every single time.
- Darrell Hammond - I think he’s spot on with his impressions, especially of Bill Clinton.
- Jimmy Fallon - nothing beats the Fallon in the Cowbell Skit.
- Will Ferrell - Not a big fan of any of his movies except for Stranger Than Fiction, but how can you not have him in the top five for his Cowbell fame.
- Chris Farley - All I have to say is: Chippendales with Patrick Swayze and A Van Down By the River.

Well before I got my first computer in 1987, I was completely enthralled with Lego. When I happened on this Gizmodo post in my Google Reader today, I think I had a heart palpitation. How cool would it be to see a vault of all Lego sets released since 1958? Wow.
If you can’t get enough Lego info, check out Brickset Lego reference site. Here’s another site of instruction book scans that I mentioned in a previous blog post.

Is it any wonder that the White House is forced to play games with the mainstream media?

I feel faster already.

Very nice article here by the founder of The Weather Channel, John Coleman.
…the entire Global Warming frenzy is based on the environmentalist’s attack on fossil fuels, particularly gasoline. All this big time science, international meetings, thick research papers, dire threats for the future; all of it, comes down to their claim that the carbon dioxide in the exhaust from your car and in the smoke stacks from our power plants is destroying the climate of planet Earth. What an amazing fraud; what a scam.
Wait, there’s more:
So now it has come down to an intense campaign, orchestrated by environmentalists claiming that the burning of fossil fuels dooms the planet to run-away global warming. Ladies and Gentlemen, that is a myth.
And then there’s the growing number of skeptics:
On May 20th, a list of the names of over thirty-one thousand scientists who refute global warming was released. Thirty-one thousand of which 9,000 are Ph.ds. Think about that. Thirty-one thousand. That dwarfs the supposed 2,500 scientists on the UN panel. In the past year, five hundred of scientists have issued public statements challenging global warming.
Enter the ethanol food crisis:
So now the shortage they created has sent gasoline prices soaring. And, it has lead to the folly of ethanol, which is also partly behind the fuel price increases; that and our restricted oil policy. The ethanol folly is also creating a food crisis throughput the world – it is behind the food price rises for all the grains, for cereals, bread, everything that relies on corn or soy or wheat, including animals that are fed corn, most processed foods that use corn oil or soybean oil or corn syrup. Food shortages or high costs have led to food riots in some third world countries and made the cost of eating out or at home budget busting for many.
Well said, Mr. Coleman, well said.

Tags: tweetsRead this article on my Yahoo homepage about a so-called “expert” report about the sour reputation of the US abroad.
My first thought was: where do people in Europe, the Middle East and elsewhere get this kind of information? The answer: The stupid Mainstream Media in our own country.
Question I have: what kind of reputation would we have abroad if the Mainstream Media wasn’t liberally biased?
That’s certainly not going to get any press.

Being the father of a 11 year-old daughter and a 9 year-old son, I’m not all that happy with what’s on TV and at the movies lately. Seems like the entertainment industry has slipped a little farther down the “sex sells” slippery slope.
Need I say more about the trampy Sex and the City movie — aka “the national IQ test for women“?
Have you noticed that the porn industry is a big part of mixed martial arts? Kimbo Slice’s porn sponsor, Tito Ortiz’s girlfriend, porn queen Jenna Jameson, etc.
Don’t look now, but it’s becoming more prime-time every week.

This article about community sums up a discussion i was having with my mom just last night around the campfire up here in beautiful Minnesota. We were discussing the sad story about the parents of an autistic boy who were suing their church to let them come back. (BTW, here’s some good perspective on that article here and here.)
You know, I can do without those that whine and complain about stuff at church. In fact, they make me mad. If all you care about is what you get out of it, then you’ll never be satisfied. Just do us all a favor and get out. It’s not really about what you want, it’s about Jesus and helping others get to know Him better.
I’m in Wanda’s shoes, but blessed with a family that God used to keep me from a lot of junk in my life. I want to be desperate to know Jesus better and not dragged down by all sorts of man-made expectations and charades. That’s not what’s important.
No tags for this post.- what a beautiful day in MN. Early morning rain got us off the lake about 7:00 am, but not after filling the livewell with some nice bass. #
- we cleaned 18 nice bass and crappie this afternoon. It was enough to gross out my daughter. She only saw the before and after.

Tags: tweetsDon’t get me wrong, I like the concept of Twitter. Expect my twittering to pick back up as more people that I like to follow move to FriendFeed.com. All I want is to see the tweets of those I follow in Google Reader.
Tags: tweetsWell, I’ve pretty much stopped using Twitter since they started requiring authentication on friends feeds.
If I can’t read my friend tweets in Google Reader then I’m not going to read them. Having to go to the Twitter site is an extra hassle that I’d rather not deal with.
I’ve signed up with FriendFeed, which seems pretty slick. Nice RSS feed.
Now if all of you would make the switch… ![]()
