11/30/08- TWD's Agenda For "Sun"Day: The Travel Back Day

Image
Photo form google.com There won't be many posts today because of me traveling back to Boston. However, later in the day (or night time to be precise), I will have a talk about Plaxcio Burress's stupidity, via The Reel Feel. Peace. (No Pending Schedule today!)

11/29/08-TWD's Agenda For "Satur"Day: The Siege is Over In Mumbai

Image
Photo from Arko Datta of Reuters It's over : Indian commandos took control of the Taj Mahal Palace & Tower, the last nest of terrorist resistance, on Saturday morning, after a lengthy assault that left three terrorists dead and sections of the hotel in flames, the head of the commando unit said in a televised news conference. A three day nightmare appears to be over: It was the third day of a siege that has shaken India, raised tensions with neighboring Pakistan and prompted questions about the failure of the authorities to anticipate the tragedy or to react swiftly enough as it unfolded. And it seems the Lashkar-e-Taiba group did the unforgivable deed: American intelligence and counterterrorism officials said Friday that there was mounting evidence that a Pakistani militant group — Lashkar-e-Taiba, which has long been involved in the conflict with India over the disputed territory of Kashmir — was responsible. It's Saturday, night time on the near end of this Thanksgiving...

Because of his unexpected, random appearance yesterday at the Macy's Day Parade on the Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends float, the first of two flashback videos had to be dedicated to the 1987 classic from Rick Astley, called "Never Gonna Give You Up." Too funny, and too classic.

Sports Thread for 11/27/08: Blowouts To Them on NFL Thanksgiving 2008

(Photo from mlive.com)This sign couldn't be more true Brian van Ochten of mlive.com made a terrific point in column assessing the misery that is the Detroit Lions and their franchise after failing to 0-12 in a 47-10 defeat to the Tennessee Titans today, their worst loss ever on this holiday. This was ion regards to lame turkey coach Rod Marinelli, and how even the venerable but still young Jeff Fisher of all coaches did a classless thing: It is impossible to sugarcoat the painful fact Marinelli is 10-34, including 13 losses in a row and defeats in 19 of his last 20 games at the helm. It's not as if the team is improving either; it keeps getting worse all the time. Even his peers show him no respect. It is a code among NFL head coaches to not run up the score, call timeouts in the fourth quarter of routs or throw needless challenge flags in the final minutes of games -- unless, of course, it involves New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick and former protege Eric Mangini of th...

The President-elect, wishing the nation a Happy Thanksgiving. Photos via the recommended diary from Al Rodgers at the Kos yesterday. And last night on ABC, as Barbara Walters does a fine job with this interview:
