GoDaddy's Boobs Pay Off
It seems the Superbowl publicity stunt paid off. GoDaddy is now the top registrar of domains. Yawn.
Al Gore Awarded Lifetime Award for Internet
This must be a joke. Oh but it isn't.
International Respect for Chickens Day
There is a disturbed group of people called "United Poultry Concerns" that are calling for chicken amnesty. Why are they disturbed? The answer can be found in a statement on their website: "Chickens are people too!" No you fools. They are animals, and they are here for my consumption. In honor of the day, Matt at Rosenblog is calling for your best chicken recipes. Personally, I like mine greasy and fried or baked in herbs.
South Park Conservatives
I'm gonna have to agree with Michelle Malkin on her latest column in which discusses her disappointment that First Lady Laura Bush recently stooped to South Park-level masturbation humor to win a crowd. Everything was peachy keen until she went there. Brian C. Anderson's new book "South Park Conservatives" is one I think I'll skip. I must say, never have I encountered a more foul and unpleasant group than some of the conservative male bloggers on the 'net.
Star Wars is for Nerds
In her birthday post on her love of Star Wars, La Shawn Barber (affectionately known as L-Breezy) confirms a suspicion I long had...She is a NERD. All you "Star Wars" fans can have it. I've never made it out of a Star Wars film awake. Never. Incidentally, Happy Birthday L-Breezy.
Is Bill Cosby Right?
Such is the question asked by Michael Eric Dyson in his latest capitalization efforts (read: his new book). Molotov at Booker Rising takes Dyson's arguments to task. I on the other hand refuse to read anything that man writes. He uses too many big words. I think he confounds even himself.
Blogger Conferences
As blogging grows as a medium, conferences on the subject are popping up everywhere. First there was BloggerCon in California. Now there are conferences by city and specialization. I've heard of conferences in Canada and Paris. BlogNashville is happening this weekend, GodBlogCon is in October, and plans are in the works for "BlogHer," a blogging conference for women in July. Curious tidbit: in October, I've been asked to teach a class for the county here on "How to Blog Like a Rockstar." This will be grand.

GoDaddy -- toldyah.
I must say, never have I encountered a more foul and unpleasant group than some of the conservative male bloggers on the 'net.
Heh.
Dyson -- man can flow. He shut down Ann Coulter, which I have never seen done. His defense of Tupac was crap. 1st time I saw him was at Essence Music Festival. He made sense. Tore it up. Now, not much sense seems to be made.

Go Daddy maybe top in registration but not in quality or service, or in its product offerings. As a graphic designer/web designer I find them wanting in so many areas. Anyone can do domain registration, it isn't exactly rocket science. The proof is in the pudding, NetSol, OLM and so many others are far superior in service, quality and product offerings.

Chickens fear me 'cause I gotta thing for Popeye's.

Does GoDaddy provide a picture of boobs along with tech support or are we just that... easy?

Ambra, do you cook? Let me know if you do and I'll email you the address of a place that sells the best spices you'll find anywhere. I even mail order my garlic powder now. (That whole chicken thing got me started.)

Chickens...

food.
pillows.
feathers for fly-tying.
pet snake food.
Joke fodder. (Why did the quail cross the road? See? It just isn't the same.)
Eggs. (Scrambled, omlettes, cakes, pies, hard-boiled and so on.)
manure for the garden. (well, certain plants.)

Yeah, I respect chickens. What other creature has so many uses?

Yes I do cook and I'm always down for finding spices. Especially since most stores try to bop you over the head price-wise.

Liberal bloggers (even females) are fouler. I've read nastier language on their sites than on any conservative blog I've been too.

Yes but that's not the topic at hand Michael. The topic is South Park Conservatives.

"That's not the topic at hand"?! You just said that "never have I encountered a more foul group than some of the male conservative bloggers on the 'net"! As a conservative male, I'm insulted! Liberalism is a large,cruel,ruthless monster and I say we need the help of some sharp-tongued, sharper witted fellows on our side!

Keep up that attitude, young lady, and you'll be forced to marry a moderate! ;)

No, the topic isn't Liberal women...it's SOUTH PARK CONSERVATIVES.

Are you a Christian or are you a Conservative? I'm not talking about Christians, and if you're not one of those people, then I'm not talking about you either.

In fact, if you read my words carefully, I said "never have I encountered a more foul and unpleasant group than some" (not all)conservative male bloggers. I've noticed a difference in standards there on a few very prominent male conservative blogs online--cussing, foul language, gross sex jokes, scoffing at purity, name-calling, and nasty attitudes when anyone challenges their opinion.

Do you see what happens when the Conservative/Christian line gets blurred? Poor representation.

Wow Ambra,

I'm interested to know exactly how you were dissapointed at the first lady. I don't think any of her jokes were too off color. Not to mention the fact that this dinner is traditionally a roast, I thought she did a great job.

Ambra, what do liberal women have to do with this? Anyway, you and I probably haven't been to the same blogs. The conservative blogs I've been to (even the ones by males) are usually cleaner then the ones by liberals. Anyway, I was only joking. Geez, lighten up. You seem to be more antagonistic lately. Even I cool down eventually.

Oh yeah, I've only read blogs linked by you.

I agree with you on Dyson. I don't get what his need to use all those words is. But it's obvious to me that he's trying to show off or perhaps he's just so snooty and academic, that he doesn't even realize it anymore.
