Since Friday's are typically oh-so-slow in the Blogosphere, I've decided that we should try to at least post something-- and why not "Winners and Losers" for the week? And as always, add-ons are greatly appreciated.
WINNERS!The Sun Rises - This week Sun Microsystems and Google teamed up to distribute software. Software that will be targeted directly at unhinging Microsoft's uber-grip on the computer desktop (and
Office). Go get'em tiger!
"...and they put soap on it and you're suppose to say Thank You!? - In a win for suspected terrorists, and, I suppose, the general decency of the human race, the US Senate passed a bill this week that would ban "degrading" treatment of prisoners. I hear some get cable-tv too.
Embrionic scientologist formed in lab! - Tomkat is having a baby! Remember in Jurassic Park how the velocirapters started breeding even though they were genetically engineered to be female? I suspect this is very similar.
M-I-L-L-I-O-N - Gwen Stefani will go down in history as the first recording artist to sell one million legal downloads of a song. The song? Well, "Hollaback Girl" of coarse. It's my shit.
LOSERS!Pay no attention to that man in riot gear with the assault weapon - The public-transit-riding-population of NYC lost out yesterday when we were pleasantly reminded that we could be blown up at any given moment. Well, not any given moment-- more likely during rush hour, and on a crowded train. The collective pants-wetting may now commence.
Hey, they don't give these jobs to chimps! - So much for the mandate. I don't think its anexaggerationn to say that GWB is having a shitty week. I mean whose prostrate does a guy need to massage to get some approval points around here? C'mon!
Jesus Rick, did you even try? - My fantasy baseball team, "Sexplosion!" ended more or less LAST in the John Ritter Memorial Fantasy League this year. Whatever.
Tomkitten? - Wait a damn minute here. How the hell did that make it into the 'winner's category. I mean, it's not like a
Britney Spears sex tape for christ's sakes!
