Ah that Penn Jillette
During tonight's performance:
Penn is reading news articles while tearing a newspaper to shreads for the reassembled newspaper illusion.
The article says "President Obama signs Stimulus Package into law saying 'that time is running out, we have to act now.'" Penn then says, "the last time I heard that I ended up with five cases of Sham-wows." -
Another Ro Update.
Roina_Arwen is doing better now. She had a chest x-ray and a CT scan while waiting in the ER this afternoon for a room to become available. There doesn't appear to be any internal bleeding or other problems, just the pain from where the biopsy needle went through the diaphragm. If all goes well she should be released from the hospital after the doctor ( Read more... ) -
Ro update.
Ro had her liver biopsy this morning as planned. And as happens sometimes, there was a complication. The needle went through the diaphragm and this caused her to be in great pain. As a precaution, her doctor has admitted her to the hospital for 24 hours of observation. She should be released sometime tomorrow morning. Right now we are waiting in ( Read more... ) -

Just curious?
I was looking at DVD's online a little while ago and noticed a new DVD set that was available in both full-screen and wide-screen. Now with the switch over to HDTV most TV's produced today are 16:9 ratio. So wouldn't that make wide-screen, full-screen? And wouldn't full-screen be that annoying square format that doesn't fit TV's anymore? -
Being fair.
Being a member of the Loyal Opposition(tm) comes with certain responsibilities. One of them is to offer props and congrats when the President does something right. I should not always post when I disagree. So with that in mind, I offer props and congrats to President Obama for quick passage of the Lily Ledbetter Act into law. No one should be ( Read more... ) -
