Imminent Threat
As of this morning, there are 1429 American soldiers killed in Iraq, nearly two years after Bush declared "mission accomplished". Still no weapons of mass destruction found. The American Family Association run by the psycho Reverend Donald E. Wildmon has been claiming that Spongebob Squarepants promotes homosexuality because Spongebob holds hands with his male starfish pal. Animator John Martz at Robot Johnny suggests the good Reverend look back in time to the wholesome cartoons of the 50's, where any number of Warner Brother cartoon characters got gussied up in drag and kissed same sex characters. Thank God there are decent folk like the Reverend John H. Thomas of the United Church of Christ who are willing to welcome Spongebob into their fold with open arms. The UCC are an inclusive ministry. The universal remote I wrote about a few posts ago has been in operation for a week and it works as advertised. Easy online set-up on my PowerBook via the suppplied USB cable only took about an hour, including troubleshooting. It's controlling my plasma TV, VCR, DVD/laserdisc, tuner/amp and my DirecTV/Tivo. No issues or problems at all. I've gone from four remotes on my coffee table to one. Hallelujah. The Self-portrait Sketchbook I promised in my last post will have to wait. I discovered I'm out of server space. I had to delete the old Sarge comic strip archive (sorry) and I'm going to be yanking Furious George offline soon. It's eating about 80 MB of space because of the video. If you want to save any of the media files to your hard drive, now would be the time to do it. It'll be gone in a week. Iron and Wine have a fantastic new song, "The Trapeze Swinger", on the "In Good Company" soundtrack. since I'm not really an MP3 blog and don't wish to come under the scutiny of the RIAA, I'll just point you here. Yes. Paul Giamatti got robbed. Jamie Foxx will win in a walk for what is essentially, a very good impersonation act.
