On Thursday, the Mountain View, Calif.-based search company debuted the Google Deskbar. The downloadable software for users of Microsoft’s Windows operating system puts [...]

Apparently my glowing review of “Super Size Me” isn’t getting much attention in Singapore:
Spurred on by shouts of “Shove it in, shove it in!” 19-year-old Don Ezra Nicholas stuffed more than three McDonald’s hamburgers into his mouth – without swallowing – and claimed a new global record at the end of Singapore’s contest to be [...]

The radio said today would be the last nice day of fall. Already this Monday they used the word snow. At first tentatively, like a kitten nudging a ball of yarn. Like an afterthought.
“Temperatures dropping into the 30s Friday night with a 40% chance of rain,” the weatherman says, then adding a whispered “… or [...]

Finally, movie titles have gone pictorial. It was only a matter of time. With the release of “I ♥ Huckabees” last week, the floodgates have opened. Soon we’ll see things like “(Skull and Crossbones) Man Walking” and “The Passion of the (Little Picture of Jesus)”.

Oh lord, the marketing gimmicks have fooled me again.

I am having trouble eating food. Good food, bad food. Healthy food, junk food. Any kind of food.
I’m afraid it will pickle my liver. I am afraid it will clog my intestines. I am afraid it will super-size me.

I’m not a religious person, but Martin Sexton makes me want to go to church. His church.
That’s where I was Friday night. At the First National Church of Martin Sexton, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It’s a traveling ministry; on tour across the country, and for one evening it made a brief stop at the Pantages [...]
