Oh No’s! Not The Porno!
21Sep05Apparently the FBI is being tasked with cutting down on the intarweb porn, and we’re talking the legal kind folks. I’m too tired to go on a rant about the First Amendment, how people who agree with these sorts of things have never been enlightened enough to read any history, etc, but I wonder how [...]

Greyhound Racing on Real Sports
23Nov04I have my PVR set to record this so I haven’t seen it yet, but I thought I’d post that Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel (on HBO) is doing a story about Greyhound Racing. Despite the lack of a widespread fan base, and in the face of constant protests by animal rights groups, greyhound racing [...]
