Rubber Duckies on a Fantastic Voyage

So fifteen years ago, about 30,000 rubber ducks got accidentally dumped into the sea (this was before such a thing would’ve made an Al Gore movie).

Believe me when I say the Energizer Bunny has nothing on these ducks.

Tom Cruise and Hitler

Hey, I think Scientology is as ridiculous as the next guy, but does anyone else find this a bit ridiculous?

Germany has barred the makers of a movie about a plot to kill Adolf Hitler from filming at German military sites because its star Tom Cruise is a Scientologist, the Defence Ministry said on Monday.

Cruise, also one of the film’s producers, is a member of the Church of Scientology which the German government does not recognize as a church. Berlin says it masquerades as a religion to make money, a charge Scientology leaders reject.

Hitler, yeah maybe. Scientology, hell no.

The Cheniac

WaPo has an incredible series on the power and strategies employed by the most powerful Veep ever.

You’ll be surprised to learn that folks like Rice and Powell often found out about historic and sweeping administration-backed and passed laws just around the same time the rest of us did.

Great Jews in Sports

You gotta give this guy a ton of credit for doing the research required to fill this entire book.

When I was a kid, I used to just Jewishize athletes’ names to pad the achievements of my peops.

The Super Bowl Niners were led by Joe Montanaberg, Dwight Clarkbaum and Fred Deanstein.

Winner Not Yet in Race

Let the record show, I predicted way back on April 4th that “none of the current presidential race frontrunners in either party will win the 2008 race. Not Hillary, not McCain, Not Obama, Not Rudy, none of them.”

I am more sure of this now.

Yahoo and MySpace, Do Not Do It

MySpace is going to go the way of Yahoo. Is Facebook’s time. This deal, if real, would make the Broadcast.com and Geocities deals look like pure genius.


Concentration is important!
