Random Thoughts 6/11/11

  • No matter how you do it, homemade ice cream just can't go very wrong.
  • AEG president Tim Leiweke is telling the papers that he has 5 NFL teams in talks about moving to Los Angeles.  The supposed candidates are the Vikings, Chargers, Raiders, Rams, and Jaguars.  To me the best candidate also has the largest local impact: the Jaguars.  If the Jags move to L.A., which would be a huge gain in television audience numbers for the league, they could switch places with the Chiefs.  The Jags would play in the AFC West against the Raiders, Chargers, and Broncos, while the Chiefs move to the AFC South and play against the Colts, Texans, and Titans.  I'd hate to lose the Raiders and Broncos rivalries, but the logistics alone would save these teams millions of dollars in traveling expenses.
  • So when is AEG going to get an NBA team (or even an NHL team) in the Sprint Center?
  • I had a 10-hour migraine yesterday and more of the same, off-and-on today.  I think it's mostly allergy related but still… 
  • I'd never heard before that the Dalai Lama considered himself Marxist.  I'm not completely shocked, I'm just surprised that he thinks Marxism and religious freedom can coincide.  What foolishness.  What I'd like is for some more Hollywood liberal-types to admit that they're Marxist too.
  • Nintendo unveiled its new game console to be released next year.  It's not the Wii 2, but rather Wii U.  It will play current Wii games and use the Wii controllers too but this system is all HD and high end with a special controller that has a six-inch touch screen in the middle.  I'm not sure if my kids are going to be into this, but I kind of hope they are considering the investment we've already made in Nintendo games and controllers.
  • And here is a scathing rebuke of sexual liberation, liberal feminism, and women who marry jerks like Anthony Weiner.
  • Your next bicycle helmet should be made of cardboardNo, seriously.

A migraine isn't just a bad headache. It has other symptoms such as auras (seeing halos of colors or light around things), blurry vision, and dizziness. If you had any of those symptoms, go to the doctor immediately. Migraines are not headaches. They can cause severe brain damage if left untreated.

I'd never heard before that the Dalai Lama considered himself Marxist.

He's the theocratic dictator (in exile) of a country. It doesn't matter what he thinks. He's not a Marxist. Marxism is just gaining popularity in that part of the world, just look at what's been going on in Nepal, so he feels compelled to jump on the band wagon.

And here is a scathing rebuke of sexual liberation, liberal feminism, and women who marry jerks like Anthony Weiner.

I don't think Shiver has actually ever met an actual feminist. Most of what she writes is demonstrably untrue. She also seems to be projecting about her own fertility issues. If you want to know what actual feminists think about the Weiner affair, you could always read one's words. Just a suggestion.
