Top Gear on 60 Minutes

Thanks to my sister, who first turned me on to it, I am enamored with the British car show Top Gear.  I have a life-long love of cars and when you mix them with wry English humor, what's not to love?  I see Top Gear on BBC America and like most English programs, a full-year's schedule only runs eight, or maybe twelve, episodes.  My sister and my wife, who are decidedly not car people, also enjoy the show.  Again, the humor is compelling and its three hosts are quite charming.  And The Stig is so bad-ass that I've named my chief raiding pet for World of Warcraft after him.

Anywho, Top Gear will be profiled on this weeks episode of 60 Minutes, airing Sunday, October 24th.  Remember, the late NFL game may play with the schedule unless you live on America's west coast.  Enjoy.

Going to the Dogs!

Man, I missed an entire month.  However, I'm back with a post that contains a bit of fun.  First up, the band Ok Go has a new video featuring our canine friends that is a hoot.  If you enjoyed the dog aspect, check out this prancing pooch.  And if you just want to see more of the fantastic video work of Ok Go, I recommend this older video.

Enjoy.

Playing Possum... not!

It occurred to me recently that, were I to have an opossum as a pet, I would not know how to properly massage said opossum such that the opossum would reach a state of complete relaxation.  Now, we all want relaxed pets and this would certainly be true for those of us with pet opossums, should we become people with pet opossums.  You can imagine my distress upon realizing this deficiency in my background.  Fortunately, and as it does for so many states of ignorance, the Internet came to my rescue.  Thus, when one wants properly massage one's opossum, one can search for such knowledge right here.

I shit you not.

What Would Reagan Do?

A very interesting article in Newsweek addresses this question to modern conservatives.  It suggests that the answers might surprise most of them.

Addition:  An op-ed in the Times yesterday by David Stockman, a Director of the OMB under Reagan, is also interesting in relation to this topic.
