gregladen | April 2, 2009I am at present engaged in a conversation with a person who sailed very unexpectedly out of my distant past, and it is quite a bit of fun. Well, OK, it was not unexpected. I conjured her up. But these details are unimportant at this time. What I wanted to share with you is a parallel finding that fell out of this conversation. This blog site has essays written by a number of people who attended the Free School, in Albany New York. I did not attend the Free School, which was a grade school, but I did attend the Community School, which was the High School version of the Free School. Some…

gregladen | April 1, 2009Zoo Borns claims "A second serving of adorable Asian Small-clawed Otter pups born just three weeks ago at Sea World Orlando. As you can hear on camera, these social otters often communicate vocally, in this case with a very fitting chirp."
Then they have these bogus video:
Right, sure. THIS IS APRIL FOOLS DAY, PEOPLE, WE ARE NOT BUYING THIS!!!
I'm sure these are going to turn out to be Large-clawed Otters. What do you think?

gregladen | April 1, 2009Minnesota and the Upper Midwest, for some reason, is the home of (by US standards, anyway) some of the most extreme (or at least interesting) criminal behavior, and not just in the movies. And today, in Shakopee, Minnesota, a freshly convicted 20 year old was sentenced to life in prison with no parole because of his killing of Katherine ann Olson (24 years old) using Craig's List as a tool to lure his victim into a deadly trap.
Surely, that is the ultimate example of incivility on the internet.
Here is a pretty good overview of the slaying (you may not be able to see this because it is a…

gregladen | April 1, 2009Highlights:
Part I:
The first couple of minutes is Letterman making numerous jokes at O'Reilly's expense. Nicely done.
1min 30 sec. Rush Limbaugh as new face of the Republican Party. O'Reilly takes credit for Limbaugh's success.
3 min 50 sec. This is Letterman throwing out phrases he had apparently practiced earlier in the show ("Oh yea?" "Whatever!" and so on) much to the amusement of the audience.
4 min 50 sec: Letterman lays out the fact that O'Reilly lies. Regarding Sean Penn. Linbaugh, I mean O'Reilly starts to take it up a notch.
6 min 30 sec: O'Reilly claims to have had a…
