James Turner, creator of the great Beaver and Steve comic, had an interesting incident on the tube today. Glad to hear he’s okay, but, man, what a story.

Four more “explosions or attempts at explosions” have happened in London again today. Copycat kids with fireworks? Or is someone feeling the London system out two weeks later?

UPDATE: Or maybe it’s worse:

Low-burst charges are designed for dispersing agent.

Jason Kenney: Without Sidewalks

I wonder if I’m any good?

7/21 12:48pm UPDATE: Actually, he’s not half bad. Just depends on if you like the style. Something about his vocals is a little off, but he’s a kid so give him time, could be damn good in a couple years. Guy can play the guitar, though. You too can listen here.

James Doohan, ‘Star Trek’s’ Scotty, dead at 85

CNN is reporting that Judge John Roberts will be Bush’s nominee.

Judicial Selection’s June 2001 summary of Judge Roberts when he was nominated to the US Court of Appeals for DC

From Drudge: Roberts: ‘No support in the text, structure or history of the Constitution’ for legal reasoning in Roe vs Wade…

The various news sites are reporting that Bush will make his choice known tonight. Lots of speculation going on as to who it will be. Guess we’ll find out soon enough.

Some Yankee school has made the Jaded JD an offer he can’t refuse. Best of luck, JD.

Not Larry Sabato (thought I wonder how the real Larry Sabato would answer)

This is a must attend. I’m certainly looking to clear my calendar for it.

Suddenly … Last Summer is a good site where you can get an entire album a day of some unknown (to me) bands. Great stuff so far. I highly recomend 22-20s album.

Planarity is a sweet little game. Hard, but sweet.

Thanks to a faulty fuel sensor, Discovery won’t be going up this afternoon. Ah well, better they take their time and be safe, that’s for sure.

By the way, the NASA channel rules.

E-merl.com reminds me a lot of Red Meat.

Lick My Jesus is an old favorite.

And Brandon’s right, Skinny Panda is a great comic.

Nintendo Power Comics!

Tom Cruise Is Nuts. Yep.

You’ve come a long way, Lil Jon

Well, not really. But practically.

Radio Paradise is a great online radio station that I highly recomend (next to WVCW, that is). And they’re auctioning off over 2000 CDs from their collection. Only up to $3050 so far, and that’s still a steal. If you have $3000 to blow.
