Ok. This stuff is really making my head hurt. Now some folks are saying that all the work to help replenish the ozone layer is contributing to “global warming”. OZONE HOLE’S HEALING MIGHT SWELL WARMING By Sindya N. Bhanoo The New York Times That the hole in the Earth’s ozone layer is slowly mending is considered a big victory for enviro [...]
This is kind of funny. But a letter to the Virginian Pilot from a Chesapeake citizen brings it into focus. The Commonwealth actually PROMOTES talking on your cell phone while driving. I’ve seen the signs. I’ve used the information they provide. Distracted driving Did you know the commonwealth of Virginia promotes using cell phones while [...]
Back in the last few days of July, the PilotOnline started running ads for an IMAX Show at the Virginia Aquarium. These ads would pop down on your computer screen completely blocking anything on the screen until they were sucked back up into the header. They are very annoying. I made a comment on Twitter, asking if they were going to be [...]
Sometimes one may feel sorry for criminals. And in this case I do. Not because of their upbringing. Or any of the normal reasons one might feel sorry for a kid gone bad. I feel sorry for them because they are obviously too stupid to even be good petty criminals. I know, harsh words. Too bad. Several years ago, I was on my way to lunch, an [...]
I don’t get a chance to pat Pilotonline on the back too often but every now and then they do something right. Recently, they added some enhancements to the user experience by fortifying the comments sections on various articles. PilotOnline.com and HamptonRoads.com readers have yet another way to control comments they see on stories: You can [...]
Maybe someone (Norfolk PD???) needs to initiate an investigation at PETA Headquarters in Norfolk, Va. Because it is clear to me, that short of some sort of mental disorder, these folks must be smoking crack. Two stories in two days in the PilotOnline: Story One: PETA wishes Obama hadn’t swatted that fly during interview Norfolk-based grou [...]
I would love to see the Iron Shields of Virginia, L.E.M.C., Blue Knights, Believers’ Bikers, Patriot Guard Riders and any other biker group who values the sacrifice made by this hero show up and break some bread and help someone. This officer, along with Deputy Lokie Flythe of the Portsmouth Sheriff’s Office jumped into a situatio [...]
I don’t know what’s going on at Western Branch High School but this seems a bit odd. Granted, it’s only two employees but… Police stopped Lance Trevor Eley near his home, in the 4500 block of High St. W., about 5:15 a.m. May 23, according to Det. John Doyle, a police spokesman. He was clocked on radar doing about 61 mp [...]
Ok. So that’s not really news. We’ve all heard about the “Fairness Doctrine”. But this is a little too much. New York State Assembly Minority Leader Brian Kolb, a Republican, is calling on the CEO of CBS to fire David Letterman for crude comments he made about Sarah Palin and her daughter. -=SOURCE=- While I think Lett [...]
After the perverted Letterman joked about Governor Palin’s daughter being raped in Yankee Stadium and the subsequent outrage, he made a non-apology on his show and invited her to the show. Governor Palin’s response? Perfect: “The Palins have no intention of providing a rating’s boost for David Letterman by appearing on [...]
