For the naming challenged I present the Institute for Naming Children Humanely.” You might laugh, but have you been checking on celebrity baby names lately? It’s a sad, scary state of affairs.

the end of NPR?
This may sound like something out of a “Snopes entry”:http://www.snopes.com/politics/arts/pbs.asp, but it looks like the House is actually looking to “cut all funding for NPR and PBS”:http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/06/09/AR2005060902283.html over the next two years.
If that angers you as much as it does me, then consider signing the “MoveOn petition telling Congress to save NPR and PBS”:http://www.moveon.org/publicbroadcasting/.
Happy Birthday, Karen!

Now this is science. Next time I sink all four wheels of my car into deep sand in the desert near Blythe (as I have done twice in the past), maybe they’ll have published the amazing driving techniques I can use to drive away without getting out of the car, digging under the car with my hands, jacking up the car, digging to get the wheels uncovered, and putting stuff under the wheels to drive away. OTOH, I’ve done it in about four hours, versus five weeks. (Note: Adam Houston was along for one of these adventures.)
