Sunday night funk for white guys

In my never-ending subliminal quest to find rhythm, here’s a little vintage bit from Was (Not Was). Give it 1:46 and you’ll see why  . . . .

Another reason why the Turkish ban on WordPress makes absolutely no damned sense

The blog Benim Mutfagim absolutely wowed me. Now, while it’s easily to grab any man’s attention with food, the sheer beauty and deliciousness of this blog points straight to a core concern with Adnan Oktar’s maneuvers for the Turkish court ban on WordPress.com.

In the Democrat’s response, also broadcast Saturday, Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell turned the tables on the president, saying that if Bush doesn’t sign the bill, 15 states will have no funding left for the program by the end of the month . . . . more
