Happy Birthday, Diz. Thanks for the Mood Changer!
It’s been a long week and I’m in need of a pick-me-up. Since today is Dizzy Gillespie’s birthday, I figured he’d be the perfect guy to deliver the shot in the arm I need. If Dizzy playing “Manteca” doesn’t make you smile, then you’re simply beyond my help today.
Clearing the Browser Tabs — The Thursday is Just Cruel Edition
You know what the problem is with Thursday? It’s very easy to spend half the day thinking it’s actually Friday and that you don’t have to go to work the next day, only to come to the sudden realize that you’re wrong and you actually have another whole work day left before the warm surcease [...]
Another Brave Truth-Teller Silenced by the Evil Media Moguls
I guess in the parlance of the left, “tolerance” lasts only as long as you agree with them. NPR, the media outlet paid for with your tax money, fired pundit and journalist Juan Williams after he went on Bill O’Reilly’s show and spoke a little truth to power. The move came after Mr. Williams, who [...]
Come On Apple, Cut Me A Break, Huh?
If Apple’s new OS is going to require me to use the App Store for any new program I buy, I’ll ditch it so fast it leaves a sonic boom. Hopefully, I’ll be able to use Leopard for a good long time because, from the look of this writeup on the new OS called Lion, [...]
The Delivery Presents – History and “Heat”, Intelligence and Honor
Every once in a while, a show surprises me by how easily it all comes together.

Yes, I realize I could have started over, but we don’t roll that way on The Delivery. [...]
Poverty, It Ain’t
This article on just how well-compensated our public “servants” are made my stomach turn just a little bit. It’s not that they make far more, in general, than people in similar private positions. That would be outrage enough. But when you throw in the gobs of money their get once they retire (and the early [...]
I Was Fine Until the Mi-Go Showed Up
I’m going to have a hard time waiting until 2011 for this movie to get released. “The Whisperer in Darkness” is another adaptation of a very good H.P. Lovecraft story done by the same folks who turned “The Call of Cthulhu” into a very entertaining silent movie. Here’s the second trailer (the first is here). [...]
Clearing the Browser Tabs – Welcome to Mid-Week
So how’s your week going? Good? Bad? Well, it’s Wednesday, the day you can either change things up or stomp on the accelerator. Which one will you choose today? Oh, if you weren’t around UStream last night, you can get the latest polished and pretty episode of The Delivery right here later today or here [...]
