It's been one hell of a week here at TeH Drivel, I must say. Monday: I posted the meaning of life, and explained the celestial importance of washing behind your ears when in ... being alive. Perhaps I've said to much... Wednesday: Yesterday was Spoiler Wednesday here at Da Drivel. This year I spoiled the following: Monk series finale Every Christmas and hanukkah gift for people living on ...

... environmentalist, Fred Pearce, that has the cheek to slag off New Zealand as not being very green because of the UN report on our emissions record. Depressingly the NZPA repeats his drivel, instead of ignoring it as they should have done. Pearce quotes statistics from the UN report (pdf) without even thinking of what they mean or why they may be like that. New Zealand has a rise of 22% in ...

... is high, and the fake windows show summer or tropical views when you look at them. I am always surprised and caught off guard when someone with an opposing position turns so quickly to anger when I unveil my opinion. Just because I don't "think right" doesn't mean you need to be so pissed off. How about a little civilized dialog? I don't get mad when I listen to your drivel.

... rotten mangoes. How i wish all assholes would just vanish into thin air. *poof*. It would solve a lot of problems. I want my paradise isle back... Anyway, don’t want to clutter my blog with drivel. Been catching up on my reading these days. Currently on a spree of Stephen King (All Hail!) titles. Finished Cujo couple of days back and now going through Duma Key. Get my mind off the shit that is ...

... friends, Stefan Boublil at The Apartment, offered us his list. The list is not unlike Stefan, interesting even if you have no intention to buy, in fact, talking about the list may just be better than buying. Which is what we intend to do. Which is why we're calling it The Drivel List. Our first item, a key, is here. Thanks Mike for the illustration! See the complete Drivel List here.

A conservative philosopher writes: The tendency of liberals and leftists is to think that any presentation of choice-worthy goals or admirable styles of life could only be hypocritical preaching.  And to libs and lefties, nothing is worse than hypocrisy.  Indeed, a good indicator of whether someone belongs to this class of the terminally benighted is whether the person obsesses ...

As the media try to get a collective orgasm going over Sachin Tendulkar’s 20 years in cricket, I am dismayed. No article on how the man who holds every cricket record failed to propel India to any. Or, how Hansie Cronje worked out how to get him out inside his first 15 runs. Or, how Tendulkar is the most boring person to watch when he does not have the bat in his hand. A tribute is about ...

A mother update (considering she is in Byron Bay and I haven't seen her for 12 days ) She is not well, not eating much more than a bird, sleeping a very lots and has a swollen lymph gland on her neck. She has constant nausea and aches like a bitch when she is not in actual acute pain. So, yeah, I think I have a little something to be concerned about, amd this may explain my ...

Seriously, Dear Readers. I am so very over Twilight, the Twi-hards, Teams Edward and Whatshisface, the cloyingly ironically named Bella, and Robert Pattinson’s grunge hang-up. Is this what is was like for Harry Potter non-fans? Dude. Sorry. But I am pretty sure I didn’t try to cram the Potterverse DOWN YOUR EVER-LOVING THROAT. I just have one request.

...in the bleeding heart of Canadian hippiedom... you know you're in serious trouble. -- VANCOUVER -- More than 80 per cent of British Columbians believe that gun crime is at least a moderately serious problem, but only eight per cent believe that Canada's $1 billion long-gun registry has been effective at preventing crime, according to a survey conducted by pollsters Angus Reid.Hmmm ...

... from time to time. But many nonchain bookstores won't handle it. "Our customers are thinking people," said Nathan Embretson, a bookseller at Pendragon Books in Oakland. "They're not into reading drivel." (as a "thinking" customer walks by with a copy of Al Franken's "Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot" -ed.) There's not a ...

In this morning's Sunday News, a guitarist for a rock band who is related to Rodney Hide's girlfriend, was interviewed over his thoughts on Rodney Hide's recent use of travel perks. In next week's Sunday News, Rodney Hide will be interviewed over his thoughts on Phil Buscke's guitar playing ability, and the lifestyle of rock musicians. This follows hot on the heels of Keisha ...

Let me tell you what happened last night. No, scratch that- let me paraphrase what I was told apparently happened last night. B V Doshi, one of India's (very few) celebrated architects, was on stage to speak about Achyut Kanvinde, one of the first architects of Independent India. Kanvinde actually designed a lot of Roorkee too, notably Ravindra Bhawan and Jawahar Bhawan that I know of. The ...

Today is my fifth anniversary as a blogger. I started over on AOL Journals. Mom had been doing it for a while, and I wanted to give it a whirl. If I ever had any secrets before, they ended with that journal. By coincidence (not,) my first post was about Kevin and the girls being gone on Thanksgiving weekend, and me being bored and lonely. I think it's important to use such a big milestone ...

Article Link: Date Published: November 23, 2009 - 10:00pm Excerpt: The puzzling thing about politicians of either party who claim to be “centrist” or “moderate” is how much they sometimes sound like right-wing Republicans. Distinguishing among these different species of politicians on Capitol Hill can often be difficult during the current struggle over health ...
