The Mason-Dixon poll shows 60% could be a hurdle: ""Florida voters appear to strongly back Amendment 2," said Brad Coker, manager director of Mason-Dixon Polling & Research. "A majority of Republicans (77 percent) and Independents (57 percent) support the amendment,...

From here : There was a small, nonviolent, "mild" anti-war protest in Denver today, timed to the upcoming Democratic convention. The protest organization is stupidly named "Recreate 68," but has specifically decried the violence at the 1968 Democratic convention in Chicago. Fox News of course wanted to cover this boring thing in the most insane way possible, with race riots and burning flags and naked...

This painting by Sesshu has nothing to do with haiku, but who cares, it's awesome. As the resident eccentric here at RBR, I've devised (what I think) is a fun little contest to give away a couple of copies of Yea Alabama 2008 and to get you extra pumped up for the season (like you actually need help at this point.) Most of us are aware (at least nominally) of the Japanese poetry form of haiku . We...

The Government has lowered redevelopment taxes for non-landed residential properties by an average of 6 per cent, in a move that analysts say reflects the falling value of apartments here. The reduction in so-called development charges will take effect from Monday and last until February 28 next year. Such charges are levied when a property [...] Copyright © 2005 - 2008 SGHOUSING.COM BY: VINCE. This...

Even though at the time of this publication, the roster lists #85 as Chad Johnson, Broward County, Florida officially recognizes #85 as Chad Javon Ocho Cinco . So, yea. Before you're too baffled, the partially torn labrum did not hinder this epic event, and there's no word whether or not Johnson... Ocho Cinco will be allowed to display his uniform. The league is looking into it. Anyway, 10% of jersey...

I today received this book in the post. It is an account of the exploits of Police Constable Gerry Jenkinson. If Dickiebo’s readers find much of it familiar - like ’supper at Mr. Wong’s! - then that is not surprising, because Gerry was my good mate and …… yea…..partner in crime police work. I have [...]

David Brooks has a hilarious take on the typical convention speech heard at the Democratic National Convention this week. My favorite snippets: We stand at a crossroads at a pivot point, near a fork in the road on the edge of a precipice in the midst of the most consequential election since last year’s “American Idol.” One path before us leads to the past, and the extinction of the human race. The...

Do you know, I've just spent 40 minues making a great Blog entry on Watermarking.... then I hit the "go back a page in my browser" button instead of the backspace key... result? No more blog entry. Lesson learned that hard way.... save your work regularly. It's not like I haven't been in IT for years and had multiple blue screens of death with loss of work as a result.... I should really learn! Anyway....

Warning: Spoiler alert!! Stay far, far away from this post if you don't like surprises ;D Yeehaaaaa!! My favoritest (is there such a word'?) TV show is back! I was caught off guard as season 2 just wrapped up a few months back so I assumed season 3 would be coming along until sometime early next year. Imagine my excitement when I saw the trailers on TV promoting the latest season. But I'm not
The Falcoholic (Free subscription) | yesterday
From the AJC comes news that Claude Humphrey was named a Hall Of Fame finalist on Wednesday. #87 played for Atlanta from 1968-78 and was the Falcons' first really dominant Defensive End, in the olden days before sacks were an official stat. UNoficially, he had something like 120+ sacks in those years of playing 14 game schedules. I doubt that many readers under 40 or 45 years old will remember Humphrey,...
