All about me

Gee, do ya think? Scrabble buff says it's all about the words. I suppose next they're going to tell me poker is all about the cards and bowling is all about the pins.

Come on, guys, you're embarrassing me:

Lawsuits could be putting "Ladies' Nights" at bars and clubs across the country on the rocks.

In about two dozen cases, plaintiffs contend these drink and admission deals for women constitute discrimination against men and should be banned.

Get real, and get a life. While the ladies are out enjoying their cheap drinks, that gives us one night a week to play with our remote controls in peace.

The cavemen from the Geico commercials are debuting in their ABC half-hour comedy series in October. But don't worry -- it won't be about race:

There was no intention to have the Cro-Magnons represent any minority group, said his colleague, Josh Gordon.

"I think it's really a show about acclimation more than anything, and that's something that everybody deals with, doesn't matter whether you are a minority or not," producer Joe Lawson said.

We have ourselves an old-fashined slugfest.  On July 12, we printed a letter to the editor from Mike Sylvester, Libertarian, CPA and a Harrison Square opponent, saying, among other things, that  the city had not responded to 58 questions he had submitted about the project.

I wonder if the people who did this study devoted every working minute to it or spent some time goofing off:

Using the Internet and chatting with co-workers are the activities that waste the most time each workday, according to the latest study by Salary.com. The 2007 Wasting Time Survey found that the average employee wastes 1.7 hours within an 8.5 hour work day.

At least since "12 Angry men," the jury cliche has been the lone holdout for acquittal who stays stubborn and ultimately turns everyone else around. According to an IU study, there may be some truth to it:

Further evidence that Los Angeles is a strange place. The Daily News recently dropped 10 cartoons and is now bringing back a few of them based on reader outrage:

I'm sorry we messed up your comics but grateful so many of you have let us know about it and told us what you want.

So far, for all the videos I have done, I've taken them to work on a portable hard drive and had them rendered into a format our server could handle. That adds a step or two and a lot of time to the process, and I've been meaning for some time to try the YouTube option, doing it all myself at home. What better opportunity to do that than the great YouTube/CNN Democratic presidential debate, in which old-fashioned politics meets new technology? Here is my take on the debate. I hope it adds much to your Campaign '08 experience and makes you a better-informed voter.

No wonder people hate journalists for misquoting them and using them and looking down on them. Here's one of us who says, yeah, we do do that. So What? Get over it.The title -- "It doesn't matter that journalists misquote everyone" -- pretty much says it all:

I knew there was a reason I liked Christopher Walken (besides his acting talent, that is):
