Taterisms & a Bubby Blunder
2008-05-18 18:44:00 Last weekend the boys and I were in Oceana, WV (i.e. "home") for Mother's Day. Sunday afternoon there was a tornado watch in effect. Tater told his dad that it was really dark, high winds and lots of rain but he didn't see any funnel cakes in the sky!Tater came home from school one day, unpacked his backpack as usual and then searched the bottom for "something important." He pulled out a little scrap of paper, held it up in the air and announced..... I finally got Madison's phone number! He is his father's child.When his friend's mother asked Tater where his dad worked he replied, "At a hoity-toity grocery store where they play fancy music." She asked what he did there and he told her "Nothing much really. He just walks around all day and straightens stuff." For the record he's as assistant manager at The Fresh Market and says he does do a little more than that each day. While putting lotion on Tater's legs after his shower I asked if he knew what those blue lines were under ...

Anti-Americanism Uber Alles
2008-05-08 14:57:00 These phoney humanitarian protests, however, are in reality nothing more than a cheap camouflage used to cover the real reason for the German left’s opposition to the deal, namely, its deep-rooted anti-Americanism. It’s bad enough that such anti-accord Germans seem to have forgotten 9/11, a good part of which was planned in their country. Many of ...

2008-05-01 08:59:00 'I'm sure she just got lost in the moment,' recent castoff says of 'Idol' controversy.By Katie Byrne Brooke White Photo: Fox Performing on the huge "American Idol" stage is surely overwhelming, but no one seemed more daunted by it than Brooke White. The 24-year-old nanny from Mesa, Arizona, was a mess of emotions, whether she was rambling on and on in response to the judges' critiques, shaking uncontrollably at the piano or crying her way through Neil Diamond's "I Am ... I Said" after her elimination Thursday night. But we're not saying her vulnerability was a bad thing. Obviously, America felt for the girl, supporting her all the way to the top five.

The "Blunder From Down Under" Returns
2008-03-14 17:13:00 In today?s Philadelphia Inquirer ?Back Channels? column, Kevin Ferris tells us of former Australian PM John Howard?s recent visit to the American Enterprise Institute.I?ll spare you the exceedingly tedious details and just try to highlight some major points instead (the West must hold fast to its values and resist ?vacuous? calls for change, Howard ?modernized? Australia?s economy partly through labor law changes, the Archbishop of Canterbury is wrong to state that ?some acceptance of sharia law was inevitable in Britain,? each of our countries must be ?culturally assertive? in a manner advocated by Maggie Thatcher and The Sainted Ronnie R, and of course, Iraq and Afghanistan are both fronts on the GWOT against ?Islamic Fascism?; this is a recording).Yeah, I can remember Howard being ?culturally assertive? all right when he said here that Osama bin Forgotten was ?praying? for Barack Obama to win the U.S. presidency, earning Howard a swift rebuke over his country?s troop presence in ...
Pope's "Blunder" in Regensberg is getting Results
2008-03-05 14:49:00 Benedict XVI's "blunder" at Regensberg is having real results - unlike the Kumbaya folks, he respected Islam enough to challenge its leaders to really serious, no holds barred, rational dialogue. The games will begin in the fall with highly respected folks on both sides. PRESS RELEASE OF THE PONTIFICAL COUNCIL FOR INTERRELIGIOUS DIALOGUE , 05.03.2008 The Vatican, March 5th 2008 In the light of the Open Letter "A Common Word" signed by 138 Muslim scholars, and the response of His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI, through the Secretary of State Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, a Delegation of the Signatories of the Open Letter met with a Delegation representing the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue (Vatican City) in the offices of the same Pontifical Council on Tuesday, March 4th and on Wednesday, March 5th 2008.

A $10,000 Insurance Blunder
2008-02-13 03:04:00 Insurance is a boring subject but getting a great deal along with a piece of mind can help make up for it. Here's the potential problem: My daughter was buying a mini van when it was involved in an accident. No one was hurt but the van was totaled. She had full coverage auto insurance so no problem right? Wrong! And I mean a lot more wrong that a deductible.I bet this issue has broad-sided many other people. She thought the insurance company would pay off her car minus the deductible, of course. Then she would be able to simply buy a new car and start over. She was in for a very rude awakening. The insurance company determined she owed about ten thousand dollars ($10,000) more than the vehicle was worth. They paid the actual 'value' of the car to the finance company and she was stuck with no car and a bill for ten grand!Now, I've known for a while that our 2006 Ford Taurus is worth far less than what we owe and I certainly didn't want to repeat her recent adventure. We called o...

DreamHost : Billing Blunder
2008-01-16 06:36:00 DreamHost customers woke up to a nightmare on Tuesday after the Web hosting company made a major billing mistake overnight that has resulted in many getting their credit cards charged automatically for hundreds -- and even thousands -- of dollars.In an official blog posting, the company said that Monday night it ran "a standard billing cycle to clean up stragglers from 2007" but by mistake set the overdue-payment parameter for the end of 2008. "This caused everyone to be billed as if today was 2008-12-31, wreaking the havoc that we are so sorry you had to be put through," the posting reads.The wording on the posting seems to indicate that all of DreamHost's customers were affected by the billing mistake. DreamHost hosts more than 600,000 domains, according to its Web site.WebHosting.Info, a research and statistics portal focused on the Web services industry, lists DreamHost as the 11th-largest Web hosting provider in the U.S. and the 15th-largest in the world .DreamHost, which has ...
Blood Blunder Endangers British Soldiers
2008-01-10 15:13:00 It is estimated about 18 British soldiers are anxiously a waiting reports as to whether or not they were infeced with a deadly disease. The men were wounded while fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan and received blood from US military sources. The American medical staff apparently did not follopw their own procedures to test donors prior to taking blood. British officials are furious and term this blunder “outrageous” and an “absolute disgrace” that men and women who riskedc their lives should have their own placed at risk due to bureaucratic blunders. Each day and month the consequences of the invasion of Iraq raise new questions concerning preparation and organization. The World Health Organization recently noted that over 150,000 Iraqi civilians died due to the invasion. The count goes on.
Blunder of being an Auto Rickshaw Passenger
2008-01-01 10:23:00 When I first entered to pune city, the most common buzz word was ?auto drivers in the city are honest and good, compared to other cities?. But my perception was, all are same. To top it that an incident proved that they are no more ?Different? than others.On one fine morning around 06.30am, I arrived from my native and dropped at an unknown place by private bus. I was looking for how to reach the station or corporation, from where I can get buses to my room. An auto driver approached me with big smile and promised me to get to station as per ?meter? fare. He shown a laminated paper describing various km?s and corresponding charges. As it was still dark and I failed to recognize what it is and agreed to travel.I boarded the auto and finally he took me to station and charged a whopping Rs 415 by showing the same laminated paper. For a city ride, which even doesn?t crossed 20 Km?s, I charged with the fare which is more than sufficient to reach my native around 610kms away!With no optio...

Indonesia scurries to fix blunder in new campaign
2007-12-20 12:25:00 News taken from SMH.com.au The Sidney Morning HeraldA grammatical error in Indonesia's new 2008 tourism campaign - splashed across aeroplanes and television advertisements - is to be fixed, a tourism ministry official said Wednesday. The new slogan of the "Visit Indonesia 2008" campaign reads: "Celebrating 100 years of nation's awakening." "Nation's", in correct English, should read either "national" or be preceded by a definite article. The awkward phrase is already plastered across the flagship carrier Garuda Indonesia's A330 planes - which were inaugurated by the tourism minister Jero Wacik last week - and appears on websites and in a TV advertisement. Ministry officials were not immediately available for comment. But an emailed message asking about the mistake received this response from Khrisnamurti, the ministry website's content administrator: "We have now been made fully aware of the English-language grammatical mistake in the VIY2008 logo and it will be rectified immed...

Cech Blunder Costs Chelsea Vital Points
2007-12-18 07:02:00 Young Liviu praised Cech and Chelsea the other day (and he has every right to), but unfortunately a costly error during a crossing situation against Arsenal the other night allowed The Gunners to inch closer to Manchester United on top of The Premiership leaderboard. What was admirable in this instance that although Cech had made the mistake, he did not aim the blame at any defensive error, management foresight, or a slap on the face from a disturbed fan (it didn't happen but I'm adding it for emphasis)...he blamed himself. Following is a video highlight of the goal: Cech had a clear view of the ball, and his defenders did well to cover him as he attempted to attack the ball. In this situation, Cech could have done well to punch the ball away if there was any uncertainty in his mind that he could not get to the ball. From all angles it seems that the attempt was poorly mistimed, though being able to be passive (that is, to assess the situation and align your resources t...

Another Bush Diplomatic Blunder!
2007-12-01 20:08:00 A Syrian newspaper, Tishrin, pointed out another example of Bush’s lack of a sophisticated understanding of world affairs. Tishrin referred to the Bush quote in which he referred to Israel as a “Jewish State.” Perhaps, the president is unaware but there are hundreds of thousands of Arab Muslims and Christians who reside in Israel and are citizens of their nation. Most American Jews would feel insulted if the United States was described as a “Christian nation.” Tishrin, probably reflecting government attitudes, termed Annapolis a victory “only for Israel.” It described the conference as a “carnival that reminds us of similar celebrations since oslo until today and of agreements that with time have gone with the wind.” Arab nations have every right to be disappointed with Annapolis, but so do Israelis. The people of Israel hunger for peace and stability as much as any Palestinian or Syrian. Many agreements have certainly “go...

Paris Hilton presents MTV Awards in China, commits fashion blunder
2007-11-26 13:24:00 all me old-fashioned, but I've never understood why Paris Hilton is supposed to be some sort of style icon. And to defend my case, I'd like to present the jury with Exhibit A, to the left here. As you may know, Paris has been swanning around China this past week - and the highlight of her trip was last night's MTV Awards in Shanghai. These awards were for fashion as well as music, which you think might have given Paris pause for thought, and the chance to wear something, y'know, really, really stylish. But alas, no. Instead, Paris chose a slightly odd hairdo, and a bizarre long grey velvet dress which had a Chinese-style black lace top attached to it. Points for trying to endear yourself to the locals, Paris - but nul points for style.

A Blunder Unpardonable ..by Pune Police and Airtel
2007-11-05 07:44:00 In a show of gross negligence and arrogance on the part of the Pune Police and Airtel, a software engineer in Bangalore has been kept in custody for 50 days in the Yerawada jail. According to the report, the software engineer was arrested in Bangalore from his residence under the allegation that he was responsible for the posting of some information defamatory to Shivaji on a social networking site and was being arrested under the provisions of ITA 2000. He was released after 50 days on an application of a BJP activist with the information that Airtel had given a wrong lead related to the IP address query.  In the whole tragedy, there was also perhaps a role for a magistrate who refused to grant bail because he failed to assess the offence appropriately. No doubt that this statement of the Police nails Airtel to a charge of gross negligence and the Police should immediately proceed against Airtel for giving false information and misleading an investigation. Secondly, the affected...

Residents living near the scene in Ivybridge, near Plymouth, Devon, were astonished when the LGV became wedged in the wooded lane last Friday evening. The Czech driver, who was in his forties and called Yuri, was on his way to pick up a consignment of TVs from a depot at nearby Lee Moor and was led up the lane which runs between the A379 and the A38 by his sat nav.
