Krauthammer
I don't know a whole lot about him except years ago when I read my first Charles Krauthammer column I knew the man understood truth.
One of my favorites: "Speaking of Stupid Liberals, Angry Conservatives"
History
If you enjoy history then check out
Eyewitness to History.com, a site that provides detailed
accounts of various events throughout history. Very well presented
by a company called Ibis Communications... tried to find out if
there was a political or religious agenda behind it but couldn't get
much except standard marketing stuff from Google or Yahoo Finance
Oh well - check it out.
Dave Berry
If you're having one of those days and you really need to step back and get some perspective on life, I recommend Dave Berry.
Here's a sample from an article about laundry tips for guys:
Our third laundry-related Household Hint for
Guys is based on a story from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, sent
in by many alert readers, about an incident several years ago in
Chippewa Falls, Wis. What happened was, a man became angry at his
washing machine, which wasn't working right. Following the
recommended procedure in the Guy Book of Troubleshooting, he pushed
it down a flight of stairs. Incredibly, this did not solve the
problem. So he shot the washer five times with a .25-caliber
revolver.
We know what you're thinking. You're thinking: ''What a MORON!
Bullets that small are only going to annoy a major appliance,
possibly causing it to go berserk and threaten innocent people!'' We
ourselves have seen a washing machine, with no provocation, shake
its way violently halfway across a room.
Fortunately, the Chippewa Falls washer did not attack. The man was
arrested and ended up on probation after pleading guilty to shooting
a gun within 100 yards of a building. So our third laundry tip for
guys is: Before shooting your washer, always check around for
buildings!
One Sentence
This one's good... a website called One Sentence and the idea is to relate a true story in one sentence.
Sample sentences:
- We thought my dog had a tick and tried "smoking it out" with a hot match only to discover it was her nipple.
- This morning, when my mom wasn't looking, I saw her put birth control in my sisters orange juice.
- I don't know if it was the alcohol, the darkness or the rush to put my clothing back on that made me fall onto the cactus.
Theological Musings
A guy named Steve Sensenig put together a very cool site that appears to deal pretty honestly with some of the tougher issues. Check it out...
