A Cry for Help

The first thing I saw on Aces Full of Links today:

I laughed, as I usually do at clever little jabs, but then I read the text of the post. It seems that this banner was actually produced by James, a part of his newborn website TrimShrub.com. There’s more banners there, and more coming. Hopefully we’ll [...]

By my unofficial survey, Saab is the only vehicle maker without an SUV model. Even Porche has one. Early next year, Saab will no longer have that distinction. The Saab 97 SUV will be available next spring. You can get one with a gigantic 5.3L V8 and crash it into a Volvo SUV [...]

…in Red Sox Nation.
Citizens! Director of Red Sox Homeland Security Skillzy has issued an advisory system to gauge the threat to our playoff liberty from the evildoers. Just a thin 1.5 game margin separates those who hate freedom from first place. With the coming showdown in the Bronx this weekend, it is imperative [...]

You all can ignore this post. David Grenier is requesting a trackback, so I’ll try to help out.
Actually, don’t ignore this post, go read his blog. Then you guys can see what a real lefty looks like, and you can stop calling me a socialist. Meanwhile, DG would probably say I’m a “Latté Liberal”.
Mmm, [...]

That last post was by far the most time consuming entry I have ever made. But, I learned plenty from researching it:
Del’s lemonade is originally from an Italian cave.
Louisiana’s official pledge of allegiance is even worse than the United States pledge. If you thought pledging allegiance to a flag was weird, Louisiana will have you [...]

First of all, check out this story on Chuck’s site. Go now.
OK, so Massachusetts has an official State Cookie. That’s weird. But it turns out all of our states have weird official “things.” Steve points to the Nutmeg State’s (that’s Connecticut) official tartan (Maine has one too) and fossil, which is a bizarrely popular category, [...]

I wouldn’t be so damn annoying in talk show interviews. However If I was in fact Quentin Tarantino, I would find time to meet up with strangers at a mall, take them under my wing, and act crazy for an entire afternoon. According to this internet entertainment fan, that’s exacly what he did.

Wow, amazing what a come from behind Red Sox win over the forces of evil can do for your mood. Today, Patriot’s Day, Boston Marathon day (won by, of course, two Kenyans*), early Sox game day, was awesome. The Boston Nine took three out of four games this series from a pretty listless Yankee [...]

You know, for all the time I sit in front of the computer, reading, IM’ing, listening to Red Sox games, you’d think I’d be posint a lot more. Well, I’m in a pretty good funk, so not much has stuck me as worth posting about. There’ll probably be one of those “lots of links, not [...]

Atrios was on Air America the other day talking about the press conference the other day. In discussing the deer in the headlights moment of Bush’s attempted answer as to any mistakes he may have made, Atrios posited that in George W. Bush’s world, everything is about him, and he is good, and everything he [...]

I was out last night, so I didn’t get to see the press conference live, but I did catch pieces of it on cable news, I read the transcript, and Em and I talked about it. I’m glad Nightwing posted his thoughts here.
Reactions today are pretty much in line with what I expected, I’m glad [...]

To make a living I work as a sales engineer for a software company. The software that I support can run on a wide variety of platforms, use an even wider variety of web server software, and interact with quite a few relational databases. I know a lot about our product and I [...]
