We're all gonna DIE!
Or at least learn something
Hello Dolly!
Here we go, another named storm cranks up in the Gulf of Mexico.
Games 2008
Here's what to look for in the next 12 months:
Left4Dead from Valve (4 player co-op against fast zombies)
Fallout3 from Bethesda (post apocalytic RPG from makers of Morrowind and Oblivion)
Far Cry 2 from whoever bought the rights to Far Cry IP (They've modeled 32 square miles of Africa. Wildlife and everything. Your job is to find and pacify an arms dealer who has gone insane. Like a modern day Heart Of Darkness.)
Rage from id Software (I guess they still make games or something.)
Most of these are due this fall.
George Carlin : Rant In Peace
George Carlin's heart stopped yesterday. That man was funny.
- Euphemisms have become so widespread that no one can simply "die."
'Older' sounds a little better than 'old,' doesn't it?
Sounds like it might even last a little longer.
I'm getting old. And it's OK. Because thanks to our fear of death in this country I won't have to die — I'll 'pass away.' Or I'll 'expire,' like a magazine subscription. If it happens in the hospital they'll call it a 'terminal episode.' The insurance company will refer to it as 'negative patient care outcome.' And if it's the result of malpractice they'll say it was a 'therapeutic misadventure.'
Tim Russert dead of heart attack
Well this is certainly sad news. I had come to really respect and rely on Tim Russert's opinion and insight on national politics.
