Lot's of updates/Seattle afternoon

In the News:
The British sailors taken captive by the Iranians spoke out today and talked about their "confessions" which were actually forced statements. Now the Iranians are saying the words spoken today by the British sailors were dictated. Hmph... What do the Iranians who took the British sailors think? We're not stupid. On the same subject, I think about what I would do if the same thing that happened to the sailors happened to me. Would I outright refuse to lie or would I go along with the captors and do what they say? And somehow, I think of Johnny English and
the exciting scene in Westminster Abbey.

Anyways...
Here are some videos of things being talked about on the 'Net. First is Bill O'Reilly and his very fiery and angry shouting match with his colleague Geraldo Rivera on Bill's show in FOX "News" or "Faux Noise". They were fighting over the causes and faults in the story of a drunken illegal alien that killed a young girl.



Now this next video is of a guy bowling with and spinning a ball spare, if that's what it's called:



Finally are two NBC News reports,
this first one from the Today Show. The last video is a great report from NBC Nightly News about the American Idol "Sanjaya phenomenon."
Speaking of this Sanjaya phenomenon, this is a joke from Jimmy Kimmel on "Jimmy Kimmel Live":

"[Sanjaya Malakar] is still in the running and there seems to be a lot of
outrage about this. Some people are saying it’s because of a website that
encourages people to vote for the worst singer, and I hope not. I don't like
that. This is not a joke. We are voting for American Idol here... I mean, I
know it was funny when we re-elected President Bush, but this is serious."


It's TGIF and a wonderful sunny afternoon in Seattle with the current temp. at 77°F.
Have a great weekend..

Awkward commmerical

I was watching "Are you smarter than a 5th Grader?" (I believe I am but those adults?...) and I saw this ad from Tostitos Chips. Awww.. this is awfully awkward but funny:

Yesterday's April Fools

Google has been known for making online jokes of new services they are providing in Beta. Yesterday's jokes were about a service called "Google Paper" and another known as "Google TiSP". You think you have T1, T2, or T3? Well here's Google TiSP. Anyways, I thought I'd mention this since this is rather funny. And I provided links to Wikipedia because I'm too tired to talk about this. Wikipedia has more information on these jokes and other hoaxes by Google on April the 1st.

I'll tell more about the special series mentioned yesterday on Wednesday, hopefully.

So I was thinking about the song "Respect" written by Otis Redding and sung by Aretha Franklin so here's a YouTube video of Aretha in "Blues Brothers".
