I saw the most curious google ad today when I was checking gmail. I don’t normally click on the sidebar ads, but this one had me fascinated. I even cut and pasted it for you:

When I was in college, a tankable druid was a hippie chick that was easy to get drunk. So, you can imagine my surprise when I saw one for sale. How could this be? I had to click and find out what this was all …

Today’s post is a follow-up to our story from March 4, 2008. In that post, we reported on the retirement of Nepal’s Living Goddess (she was 11).  Apparently, the career of a living deity is pretty brief in Nepal (think dog years).
So today, the government declared a new Living Goddess. The new Maoist government sidestepped 239 years of silly -err I mean serious tradition by naming the Kumari instead of letting the high priest of the monarchy do it. Government apologists might argue that there technically is no monarchy anymore, …

Stonehenge is back in the news today as UK Archeologists are claiming that it was a center for healing. They came to this earth shattering because, “Bodies recovered near the area An unusual number of skeletons recovered from the area showed signs of serious disease or injury.”  Well, duh!  They’re dead! How much did the British taxpayer chip in for that little nugget?
Of course, I subscribe to theory that Stonehenge is not the mystical site of Druid worship, but rather a discarded alien batting cage that subsequent cultures have been …

Congrats to those of you that went to Jason Bean’s site and scored airshow tickets. If you didn’t get free tickets, the show is worth checking out for 3 reasons. First, my parents live close to the airport. So, drop in on George and Judy and say “hi.” Tell them their son sent you. I’m sure they will give you some iced tea or let you use the bathroom.
Second, you’ve probably heard that T-Boone Pickens has a plan to save our country via alternative energy. He has a website and …

I’ve been thinking a lot about wisdom lately. I haven’t really gained much wisdom thinking about wisdom. But, I have come to a wise conclusion about wisdom: Wisdom is overrated. Wisdom usually comes at the expense of some harsh life lessons. Accumulate enough wisdom, and you’ve probably been through some rough times. Accumulate too much wisdom, and then everybody wants to come to you for answers. I guess that’s why I believe in one singular God. There can’t possibly be more than one being that would want to …

Believe me, I’ve tried!
Some days, life is miserable. Some times, the only way to keep from crying is to find a way to laugh. That’s why I love the Odd News section. When I need to laugh, I check out the Odd News. Why? The people are real. The stories are surreal.
Take for example today’s story about a man in Poland. He ran into the most interesting person while visiting a brothel: his wife. Most of you immediately thought, “Great! I’m glad she caught him.” Not so …

We have come to the end of the road for the Trolley Dodgers blog.  Tonight is the last post!  No, I’m not conceding victory to Elizabeth in the blog war.  And, I’m not going away.
The reason this is the end is that we’ve outgrown the TD Blog.  So, we’re moving to CarryOnCitizens.com starting tomorrow. (just a placeholder there now, so no peeking) There will also be major changes on all my websites over the next few days.  This is an exciting time! Kansaska will be available soon and 7 Dead …

This is the lead paragraph from an article on Yahoo News tonight:
LOS ANGELES – Nicole Kidman is pregnant, her publicist confirmed Monday. The 40-year-old actress and her husband country singer Keith Urban “are expecting a baby,” publicist Catherine Olim said in a brief statement. “The couple are thrilled,” Olim said. (Source AP)
I am glad the publicist cleared that up. I was worried about what they …

Continuing with our look back on the year ahead…
We closed yesterday’s post with June. The year is half over. It was a pretty interesting 5 months (No February, remember), but the next 6 were outrageous.
July

Shortly after the All Star game (American League 7, National League 3) the Mitchel commission decides they are tired of investigating baseball players on steroids. They announce that they will be looking into the ongoing rumors that several prominent American authors (as well as some of the hacks) have been using Alphabet Soup for some time. …
