Idiot Parkers: I think I finally found the solution to dealing with people who block you into your parking spot. Now if only they would only make these in magnet form (so as not to mess up others' cars). I am bothered by people who don't respect space, public or private. Maybe it's an American thing. I've been to other countries where people take no offense to armpits in their face. To each his own. Me? I am particularly bothered when Halitosis Jim insists on talking within three inches from my face. "Halitosis Jim" isn't a real person. He's just an archetype. Everyone has a Halitosis Jim in their life. Or maybe you are Halitosis Jim. Perhaps someone should start a website called "ITalkTooCloseToPeople.com"

Rapper Nelly Faces Opposition in Arkansas: "Tear up the tickets!" Those were the words of Rev. Adrian Rogers, a Jonesboro, Arkansas minister who urged people not to take their children to see Nelly's degrading and offensive show. Twenty ministers in the area have banded together to protest Nelly's upcoming performance at Arkansas State University. I gather this probably isn't the best tactic if you're trying to change the hearts of the people.

Not All Teenagers Are Wasting Away: Some of them are starting their own online magazines. "Virtue Magazine" is the name of a new effort brought forth by a bunch of insightful teenagers. Check it out. Just don't let that coverpage picture scare you as it did me.

Jason Kottke, Professional Blogger Explains Why: As many know, the ever-famous blogger Jason Kottke of (kottke.org) announced last week that he was going pro. Kottke's three-week fund drive gained the attention of MSNBC who interviewed him on why he did it.

Million Dollar Baby & Euthanasia: A good review of the film and its naturalistic worldview.

Changing hearts?? Is that what this religion thingy is about?

Although I have no problem with calling out bad parkers, I'd have a serious problem with someone slapping a bumper sticker on my car.

Personally, I get convicted if I see that I've parked horribly, and I re-park.

Daily Kos went pro too. You might be the LeBron James (well, in your case, the Dwight Howard) of the 'sphere.

Bijan you're funny.

But Alex, would you be opposed to a magnet?

Those bumper stickers claim to be "low-tac", so they are easily removed and shouldn't cause any problems.

Very funny though.

Adrian RODGERS is the pastor from Jonesboro. Adrian ROGERS is the pastor of Bellevue Baptist in Memphis - one of the largest churches in the country.

Ok, as long as they're magnets.

I just remember seeing some greenpeace organization that went around placing similar bumperstickers on anyone with an SUV--apparently because SUVs pollute differently than regular cars.

See, If I found you in the act of placing that on my vehicle, there'd be serious repercussions for the party involved.

The way I see it, it seems OK as long as you're part of the group that wants to punish the offenders, sort of like how PETA members think it's cool and dandy to pour red paint on people with fur coats.

not only parkers, idiot drivers also...i don't get the whole talgaiting (invasion of space) thing...maybe if folks left for work/school/church about 15 minuyes earlier they wouldn't have to be in such a rush...or is it just rudeness/selfishness?

I wondered where you went. My RSS feed for you went belly-up. Glad to see you back today. :)

Hey, I know this is a simi-old post, but I wanted to say thanks for the mention! Also, if I may ask, what is so scary about our cover image?
