January 7th 2007

I'm back from Argentina, kind of rusty and with no computer. Anyhow, it is nice to start writing again. Check daily. Please e-mail me with comments or suggestions at

Comedy
Dane Cook performed stand-up comedy for seven straight hours, breaking the record set by Dave Chappelle. Unfortunately for Cook, the record for longest uninterrupted comedy belongs to MSNBC and Chris Mathews reporting and analyzing the results of the Iowa Caucus.

Pat Robertson
Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson read his predictions on TV and said that 2008 will be a year of violence. He later admitted a mistake and said he was reading Dick Cheney’s 2008 resolutions.

Change
After the results in Iowa, almost every candidate is said be the candidate for change. Hopefully, they are not referring to how big salaries are going to be if they get elected.

Hillary Clinton is telling everybody out there that she was always the candidate for change. If she could, she would have changed Bill long time ago.

Buffet
Two people claim that a Chinese all-you-can-eat buffet in Louisiana banned them for eating too much. The owner claims the complaint came from the dogs in the neighborhood which noticed the lack of cats to chase every time these 2 visited the buffet.

Jobs
According to an online recruiting company called Jobsite, January 7th is the biggest job hunting day of the year. It’s the day all presidential candidates that sucked in Iowa and are doing poorly in the New Hampshire’s polls look for another job.

It is reported that actor Viggo Mortensen was ticked off by the exclusion of Dennis Kucinich from Saturday’s debates. Mortensen told Kucinich not to worry and promised him the part of Gollum in the next “Lord of the Rings” movie.

TV
Japanese electronics maker Sharp Corp will begin selling a 108-inch LCD television later this year. Perfect timing, as the screen will fit all the presidential candidates in one shot with their double faces.

U.S. TV broadcasters will be ready to start transmitting signals for portable electronics like cell phones next year. It’ll be great, as you are going to be able to see the report of your own car crash in your cell phone.
