September 2008


I liked the Seinfeld/Gates commercials, but I can see how they wouldn’t play well everywhere.

The “I’m a PC” commercials are indeed far better, but now even that’s falling apart.

Additional tech tidbit: I love new technology, but rarely do I see a new product that absolutely makes me melt. Meet the new Canon digital SLR. Twenty-something megapixels and FULL HD VIDEO. Unbelievable.

This can’t be good.

The Donkey Show’s back online.

I’ll tell you what’s good: Caramel Just Bunches.

Now you tell me what’s good. Remember?

After such a chaotic week on Wall Street, I’ve never been happier to know that my money’s safe.

Now that I’ve got power back and I’m getting back into a normal routine, stuff will start coming back here. I’ll probably be uploading some storm pictures and some Ollie-at-the-playground pictures tonight.

In the meantime, prepare to be Rocked…

Any good WINDSTORM ‘08 stories out there?

Anybody else notice Guy Fieri (Ferry? Ha!) sitting in the front row for Michael Phelps’ monologue on SNL tonight?

Hurricane Ike is poised to potentially obliterate on our Texas plant.

As worried as folks here are about the plant, I can’t help but worry tenfold for people whose actual homes and families are in that path.

Stay safe all, good luck and wishful thoughts.

Hey kids. Just wanted to let you know the Donkey Show moved over here, to a site of its own!

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the newest Bob-net feature, probably appearing on a weeknightly basis. It’s a political news link round-up from a certain POV. See if you can guess what it is.

Welcome to the …

Because there are only 62 days left before the election.

Because some people don’t have the time to sort through all the blogs.

Because John’s getting tired of getting all these links via Google Talk.

Here’s the rundown for Wednesday, 9/3/08.

  • Tonight’s RNC VP speech was written before McCain’s camp had a VP.
  • McCain’s campaign manager, Steve Schmidt, of all people is the first to cast major media light on the Palin paternity rumors. Watch the video here, and don’t miss the canny comments here.
  • “Palin Slashed Funding for Teen Moms”
  • If her daughter were raped, Palin would “choose life.”
  • The McCain camp got an FBI background check on Palin. And then they spent the summer with their uncles hunting wolverines.
  • She may not have been registered, but Palin’s AIP problem lingers.
  • This DKos diarist raises the specter of Special Needs Message Board Operatives for McCain.
  • Wonkette’s way with words: “Every day, more terrible rumors and allegations surface about Palin’s drunken corrupt secessionist abstinence-only snowbilly reign of terror over the Great White North. And the press has the temerity to actually ask if any of this crap is true. Steve Schmidt is appalled that anyone would ask about the qualifications of a vice presidential nominee who lived near Russia once, and has four or five kids.”
  • They almost lost Dr. Laura.

Thought of the day: You can like Sarah Palin but still believe she’s not the best person for the job. Yesterday, I waxed nostalgic about Jerry Reed. But I never would have wanted him in the White House.

And that’s our first Donkey Show.
