Light to nonexistent blogging alert

... due to personal issues. Back ASAP.

'Everyone's a critic!'

Forget about clothes, services and other necessities: Now, art critique is being outsourced.

Long day's journey into night

ALERT-ALERT-ALERT: NOT SURE WHY BLOGGER ISN'T LETTING ME CHANGE FONTS, HERE. WILL LOOK INTO IT. BUT STILL READ POST (PLEASE)

(AND ISN'T IT INTERESTING THAT THE PHOTO BEARS A STRONG RESEMBLANCE TO MY MAIN BLOG PHOTO .... :)

Sunsets tend to be spectacular after volcanic eruptions.

The "inconvenient truth" is, so do carbon emissions.

Leaving aside the incredible farce that is "global warming science"; leaving aside the stomach-lurching hypocrisy that is Al Gore, shoveling down more energy consumption in a month than most American households use in a year; and leaving aside the "indulgence"-based system that is cap-and-trade (it didn't work too long for the Catholics in the Middle Ages, and not much has changed) --

So, what's wrong with carbon?

MSM on the ropes (one hopes)

The Walk-Man asks:

"Should linking to copyrighted material be outlawed, as one American Judge, Richard Posner, has suggested?

"Well, obviously I view this through the lense of being a blogger; a profession which would be made difficult, and in some cases nigh impossible if one were unable to link to sources. So I'm biased.

But really, does one need a bias to see that this is a dumb idea? Sure, it might help the more wheezing and bed-ridden of the newspaper biz to hold on to what little life they still have, but really, it would be at the price of mediocrity for everyone."

The MSM, in its death throes, is getting desperate. Don't you think it's delicious irony that bloggers linking to stories increases readership of those stories?

Ah, but those evil bloggers aren't contributing REVENUE. So what? It's not bloggers' job to talk people into spending money -- it's their job to share information. Isn't that what newspapers et al. claim to be all about?

Who knew the Walk-Man is 30?

Ha ha! An affectionate joke aimed at my very good friend, whom I've aged by about 10 years, I think ;)

The best joke is perhaps the perplexity the young teen has with "retro" technology!

Some Tuesday evening Zep

'Spider's, earwig's and flea's ... oh my!'

At last -- a blog dedicated to one of MY pet peeves as well, Apostrophe Abuse.

And The "Blog" of "Unnecessary" Quotation Marks.
