Little Bo Prep’s humble roots go back to Lovey

Howie Carr has a few words to say about Mitt Romney’s choice for a running mate in the Massachusettes goveror’s race.

Remember when the first George Bush said his pick for vice president would “tell all? Then he selected Dan Quayle. Not that it will matter a hoot in the fall, but this is one of those tell-all picks.

Mitt’s decided to run with Mrs. Thurston Howell III.

Dohh! I had such high hopes!

Harry Takes an Early Look at The Sum of All Fears

I sure hope this is better than some of the other Clancy adaptations (except of cource, "The Hunt For Red October").

First of all, it’s an amazing film. Even though they changed quite a bit from the book, it feels more like a Tim Clancy film than any of the previous ones. In the first half hour or forty-five minutes or so, a lot of different characters and places and stories are introduced, and the movie slowly at first starts to bring all these different parts together, and about halfway through, when all hell breaks loose, the movie just races from that point on. It’s really exciting, and the tension was almost unbearable.

Well, at least this sounds very Clancy-sh. I hope they pull it off!

18 Hole Coverage at the Masters!

Yahoo!

For the first time in history, there will be 18-hole coverage by CBS of the final round April 14. Some of the best-kept secrets in golf are the first nine holes at the famed Augusta National. They’re a mystery to golf fans because they’ve received little or no TV time. In contrast, the back nine, with its Amen Corner, has captured the fancy of viewers over the years because that’s where the green jacket is won or lost.

This is awesome news. Too bad it’s only the final day of the tournament. I’d like to see 18 hole coverage for the whole dang thing!

Microsoft IIS Server for anti-unix site on the fritz?

When it comes to Unix, Microsoft and Unisys are suddenly silent.

The two companies launched a Web site earlier this week seeking to persuade customers to switch from the Unix operating system to Microsoft software. But as of midday Tuesday, the “We have the way out” site displayed either an all-white screen or an “Error 403” authorization message.

DOH! So, Bill, how does CROW taste?

Does this strike anyone else as a BIG LIE? You know, like **the bigger the lie, the more people will believe it**?

EchoSTAR Appeals Local TV Ruling

The satellite TV provider appeals to the U.S. Supreme Court to be able to broadcast all local TV channels in all markets nationwide, a move that would rewrite TV broadcast laws.

Being a DISH Network subscriber, I hope they win. Philosophically, there’s no reason I shouldn’t be able to get any TV station I want. Any other ruling is suspect.
