Ballroom Dancing My Ass

USC women’s basketball star Brynn Cameron is missing the upcoming season to have Matt Leinart’s baby. To be fair she is pretty hot.

…and Leinart hurt his shoulder in Arizona’s final preseason game. Good thing he has that ballroom dancing degree to fall back on.

Now It All Makes So Much Sense…

Well, John Travolta is gay. Now Battlefield Earth makes so much sense.

We filmed this probably a month ago and I’ve been looking for something to do with it, so… I give you… me and Eric! Getting funky on my couch together.

They know all about you

Every time you use an internet search engine, your inquiry is stored in a huge database. Would you like such personal information to become public knowledge? Yet for thousands of AOL customers, that nightmare has just become a reality. Makes you reconsider divulging anything personal to Google & co.

Hezbollah hit harder than originally assumed

You may not have ever heard of Shebaa Farms controversy but it is at the heart of the Hezbollah situation because it has been used as the official reason for their existence. That reason used to be the removal of Israel’s presence in Lebanon, but Israel pulled out in the year 2000 and Hezbollah was forced to come up with another story to justify their existence and the Shebaa Farms served that purpose. Today it was announced that they have cut and run from 14 outposts there. Michael Totten explains:

“Liberating” the Israeli-occupied Shebaa Farms was Hezbollah’s main excuse for holding onto its weapons after other militias in Lebanon disarmed after the civil war. Many, if not most, Lebanese recognized this as the bogus propaganda it was. Hezbollah needed to find some way to justify maintaining a militarily powerful state-within-a-state that refuses to answer to the government or the democratic majority. “Because we feel like it” just wouldn’t do.

So the charade continued for years. Hezbollah screamed, Syria dithered, Lebanon shrugged, and Israel scoffed. Now Hezbollah is being forced by the Lebanese government to dismantle their own military outposts along the border with Shebaa. Their “resistance” may not be finished. But it’s even less credible now than it recently was.

If you’re in a mood to learn more about the situation in general, this is a good primer…

Either way, this was all just a front for Hezbollah’s continued military buildup, a way to maintain a semblance of legitimacy for the rest of the world. But we don’t have to wonder about Hezbollah’s purpose since Hassan Nasrallah, their leader, doesn’t shy away from making it known:

“One of the central reasons for creating Hizbullah was to challenge the Zionist program in the region. Hizbullah still preserves this principle, and when an Egyptian journalist visited me after the liberation and asked me if the destruction of Israel and the liberation of Palestine and Jerusalem were Hizbullah’s goal, I replied: “That is the principal objective of Hizbullah, and it is no less sacred than our [ultimate] goal…”

So now that Hezbollah doesn’t have the Shebaa Farms to lean on, their true purpose is blindingly clear. What will the world do? Not much, if anything, that’s for sure. That’s not a pleasant thought. Winston Churchill saw the Nazi problem early and started waving flags to no avail. I don’t even see a Winston Churchill in the world today.

More addictive games

Bowmaster is an awesome game. You build up your arsenal by beating levels and the upgrades are very satisfying. I’d say this is a step up from Dice Wars, but an equally effective time killer. Not that Dice Wars isn’t fun…

I shot this at the Mason Jennings show at The Fillmore a month or two ago.

I was definitely surprised to hear him cover this…
