That's a basketball he's holding!

There's a new minor league basketball player from China who's 7'9" tall--the tallest in the history of professional basketball. I can't get over the size of his hands.

New Blogger

I have converted this blog to the new Blogger system. So far, so good. The only problem I've seen so far is that the top of "caprice's glob" is cut off. (EDIT: I figured out a way to get around that problem.)

The only big new feature, as far as I can see, is that I can now classify my posts. This one is going under "my glob."

Talking back at the headlines

From the AP "Top News" on excite.com.

• Boston Publicity Ploy Leads to 2 Arrests
Stupid people.

• Senate Foes of Troop Buildup Join Forces
That's nice, but Bush will still ignore them.

• Chavez Gains Free Rein in Venezuela
Uh oh. Poor Venezuela. He sounds like Castro only with money.

• House Approves Huge Spending Bill
Don't they do this every year?

• Comedian Al Franken to Run for Senate
Yay!!! Where do I send my donation?

• Molly Ivins Dies of Cancer at 62
This is sad, very sad. She was the one who first called Bush II "Shrub." We lost a good one.

Another stock I didn't buy.

Still a yawn

A year ago I pronounced the headline "Oklahoman Crowned Miss America in Vegas" my Yawn of the Day. Today's yawn news story: Oklahoman Wins Miss America Crown.
