ESPN ditches MSN

I guess it was technically the other way around, but whatever the case, I love seeing ESPN.com sans MSN header/sidebar (not to mention the ‘msn.’ at the front of the url–as if espn.go.com weren’t long enough).
In case you’re wondering (or care at all), the aforementioned ‘msn.’ and the Butterfly header have moved over to FOX [...]

Refried Bartolo

After watching Bartolo Colon during Anaheim’s Sunday shelling by the Dodgers, I found it quite curious that we haven’t heard more about what a tremendous bust he has turned out to be. I’d imagine it is largely due to Vlad and Jose Guillen’s solid performances, overshadowing the bad side of Angels free agent class [...]

The Smoking Gun reveals Moore’s dual voter registration

I suppose this is newsworthy. It’s just hard for me to get very worked up about it, since I am pretty sure I’m registered as an Independent in Orange County, and a Libertarian in Los Angeles County. So I can’t exactly take Mr. Moore to task for this. And considering how many [...]

Oh, to be a mutant muscleboy

The X-Men are coming….and they’re German:
Somewhere in Germany is a baby Superman, born in Berlin with bulging arm and leg muscles. Not yet 5, he can hold seven-pound weights with arms extended, something many adults cannot do. He has muscles twice the size of other kids his age and half their body fat.
DNA testing showed [...]

Photobloggers make me jealous

With pictures like these, can you blame me for getting jealous of the photobloggers of the world? If a picture is truly worth a thousand words, these guys make 5 posts and they’ve eclipsed the body of work (as impressive as I know it can be) here at KyleBunch.org.
[pic above from overshadowed, which I [...]

Solving the Pledge of Allegiance problem

Ernest Miller over at Corante has a good idea to address the “under God” issues we’re having with the Pledge of Allegiance–ditch it altogether, and have kids recite the Preamble to the Constitution instead. A quick refresher on the Preamble shows it to be a very suitable (and argubly far more appropriate) alternative:

A dream come true

Four words–YOU GOT SERVED 2.
Because, as Omarion, one of the stars of the first film so aptly puts it:
“There’s so many different directions we could go,” Omarion added. “I didn’t have a father [in the first film], maybe my father could come back.”

Alex P. Keaton remembers Reagan

I’m as ready for Reagan Remembrance week to be over, but before we call it a day, we’ve got to hear from one of America’s most prominent Republicans during Reagan’s Presidency–Alex P. Keaton.

Rocketing to the top of my wishlist…

Mom, Dad, if you’re reading this, I’ve decided what I want for my birthday. I know it’s a few months away, but, well, it’s kind of expensive, and so I wanted to give you some time so put away the cash, or maybe hold a bake sale, so you’d have enough to cover it.
Alright, [...]

Giving John Wayne the boot for Seth Cohen?

I’m a native of The O.C. (the actual place), and I’d love to try and defend my hometown as being more than what is represented on the Fox television show. But then I read about someone SERIOUSLY proposing they rename the airport after the show, which, mind you, is only 27 episodes deep into [...]
