Sorry I've been away so long. The sad thing is, my traffic is up even though I haven't posted in two weeks. Anyways, here are five cool things I saw on the web since Friday:
Anybody watch the Pebble Beach Pro Am? Me neither, but I saw the highlights on ESPN. All I know is, Chris Berman should have worn a Bro (Manssiere!). Or maybe one of those wifebeater-like undergarments flatchested women wear to hide their nipples. You can see what I'm talking about in this picture taken at the US Open last year, if you're so inclined.
Cats in space suits. It's funny, trust me. (Link via Boing Boing.)
The quantum leaps forward continue at my beloved alma mater. In anticipation of a new NCAA rule mandating that all Div. I-A schools play 12 games, Notre Dame is hatching a brilliant, creative scheme to play that twelfth game at a neutral site in an effort to expand ND's exposure to potential recruits. The Irish will also increase its number of home games to seven (and anyone who thinks so many home games is stacking the deck, every school does it; OSU had eight home games when it won the national championship in 2002). I'd like to see us in Texas and Florida exclusively for the first five years.
And in case you're wondering why the overwhelming majority of Notre Dame faithful are ready to strap on the pads themselves to play for Coach Weis, check out the comments he made to some students at a 5:40 a.m. bull session this morning. I love the friggin' guy.
This guy my not be mixing religious iconography with bodily waste, but he is indisputably an artist. (Link via Spoons.)
Finally, this is probably the only thing I'm going to say about colossal asshat Eason Jordan. In a link-rich post, Power Line's The Big Trunk recounts two previous claims by Eason Jordan that the U.S. or Israeli military have been "targeting" journalists, in one case specifically CNN journalists. Not only does this make him sound like the boy who cried wolf, it also brings his incredible sense of self-importance into sharp relief. It's as though he believes that journalists aren't (entirely unnecessary) chroniclers of wars, but rather the centerpiece of them. As if the war wouldn't happen if they weren't there. As if journalists are so important to be considered an objective rather than an obstacle. Eason, get a fucking grip; U.S. and Israeli forces weren't shooting at you, they were shooting near you. Quit insisting on being in the middle of every skirmish and you won't get shot at nearly as much.
