Nice Curves

You may notice the site looks different (again).  I thought that the front page looked a little too 'square'.  Therefore, I added a curvy obloid to your favorite website *cough* and some soothing non-pastel colors.  This same style has been replicated throughout the site for a more 'consistent' feel.  I still have some tinkering to do to make it final but I'm sure I won't have to completely overhaul everything for at least a month.  (This paragraph was much funnier than this but the Internet ate it so you are reading this one.)

I am currently limited to basic cable due to the fact that I am cheap.  I also have viewed digital cable on other people's TVs and notice that despite all the 'extra' channels, I come back to the same 'basic' ones.  The lack of entertainment on TV is whole other discussion, but if I somehow came to have Showtime on my TV, I would watch Bullshit! I have always liked Penn & Teller and cynicism.  And like peanut butter and chocolate, these two come together to make a great TV show. 

These two guys look at topics like fake medicine, bottled water, and alien abductions and find out what is really going on.  Most of the time it is greedy people making money off of the gullible.  Unlike Dateline, however, the show is actually entertaining while informative.  Also, unlike Stone Phillips, the hosts of Bullshit can call these snake charmers fuckers without FCC sanctions.  Bottom line: Watch Bullshit! 

Another great show I haven't talked about is Good Eats.  It's a 'wacky' cooking show hosted by Alton Brown.  I call it wacky because it is not like other cooking shows.  Each show is themed around one topic (eggs, strawberries, etc.) and equally educates viewers on the subject and how to cook with it.  Throw in Dracula as a cooking assistant, numerous camera gags, and Alton's own witty personality make this show more entertaining than a mid-series A-Team episode and almost as educational.  I watch it whenever I can and so should you! 

How's about that war?  American hostages, dozens of US soldiers dead in a couple days, thousands of dead civilians.  Then there's the 9/11 commission.  Rice's LAME testimony and Bush's PDB stating he knew 9/11 was coming.  There was some good news about jobs being created.  But gasoline is at record prices, a gallon of milk will cost you 50¢ more next month, and George W. Bush is a fat head.  So that last one I just made up.  But how can the guy claim credit for the so-called 'recovery' his tax cuts have 'helped' when he would never take credit for the economy 'bombing' when he became president in the first place?
