I'll tip-toe around the obvious news story. My dad once said that you don't talk bad about someone once they've passed on, regardless of the ill they brought to the world. So that's what I'll do.

For those among the living, we have Republican Survivor. Another game is Presidental Knockout. Guess whose butt I chose to slap down. Also, I didn't make this up, so bear with me. In trying to con African-American voters into backing him, Mr. "There is no such thing as a hate crime" Bush has recruited the good graces of...wait for it...Don King.

In non-political bashing, let's take a page from Minnesota - no, not in electing ex-wrestlers - but in combating gas price gouging. We might not be able to fight OPEC or Big Oil, but we can hit the hometown thieves.

Kobe's lawyers, finks that they are, have gotten permission to have the potential rape victim not labelled as a victim. Seriously, have we all lost our minds at this point?

Two technology articles to pass along. One is a Popular Science story about a guy who spent some time this year trying to emulate life in 1954. Kind of a revelation on how much tech we've gotten used to. Another article covers the measure of a death penalty in a tongue-in-cheek way concerning virus writers and other filth. The last covers the modern music industry and how we end up with the crap bands we do when better music never gets heard by larger audiences.

We spent last weekend out of town, specifically hiking, dining and relaxing in Payson, AZ. Got to catch a D-Backs game in there too. It was much fun. This week I'm out of town in Carson City on work assignment. Have a good one.
