Terrible

What a tragedy….
NORTH LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — A minor league baseball coach died after being struck in the head by a line drive as he stood in the first-base coach’s box during a game, police said.
I feel for everyone involved, the family, the teams, and the guy who hit the line drive.  Hopefully this will [...]

It makes me wish I had a lawn

I might have to have one installed on my condo deck.  No really…..
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — One lawn care company is showing a little skin to boost business.
The women of Tiger Time Lawn Care offer to mow customers’ lawns dressed in bikinis — a service that attracts more attention to the ladies than the lawns.
I think [...]

Why I don’t live in Boulder

Because of stuff like this…
I’m not talking just about the lady, but about the attorney egging her on, the neighbors not talking, the police actually responding, the number of commentors to this story. The pettiness of it all has long since put me off to my native town.
And if you think this is out of [...]

Funny but wrong

This cracks me up….
Whoever said politics wasn’t sexy hasn’t googled Ed Perlmutter lately.
Porn pirates, it seems, have hijacked the 2006 campaign Web site of the first-term Congressman from Golden. And they are holding it hostage for more than $1,000.
Here’s his site.  I imagine there will be a new bill regarding internet hijacking proposed in the [...]

Just desserts

A laugh out loud moment for me….
There were flashing lights atop his SUV and what appeared to be a police badge in his hand, but it was the man he tried to pull over who was the real police detective.
I can just imagine the looks on both their faces.

Getting hung out to dry

Don’t accept bribes in China….
China executed the former head of its food and drug watchdog on Tuesday for approving untested medicine in exchange for cash, the strongest signal yet from Beijing that it is serious about tackling its product safety crisis.
During Zheng Xiaoyu’s tenure from 1998 to 2005, the State Food and Drug Administration approved [...]

About that 7.7.07 Rocky Mountain Blogger Bash

The last thing I remembered was having to hiccup my address to the cabbie, and try to keep the “lemondropmurphyboddingtonsatleastthreetypesofwhiskey” concoction down, so I assume the RMBB was a success.
Plus no one was shot at, which is always a good thing.
By the way, Colorado is within the jurisdiction of the 10th Court of Appeals, in [...]
