LAPD Police ScannerFrom Tuesday 1/28: Just in time for the O.J. verdict -- the LAPD Police Scanner. That's right, macbre hangers-on, listen in any 'Net-ready locale, just like the scanner geeks in the city of angels!

I give the Wash Post goosebumps!From Wednesday 1/22: Thanks to Margaret Byron and the Goosebumps controversy, I get quoted in the Washington Post (though that overstuffed Newt Gingrich knocks me off Page One!). Thanks to Bill Souder, who, choice of media figures aside, wrote a fine piece.

Captain Kirk Sings!From Wednesday 1/22: The only man who sings worse than Brauer -- James Tiberius Kirk, a.k.a. Bill Shatner. Hear the musical tones of Kirk, Spock, and Data at the Captain James T. Kirk Sing-A-Long Page -- now under the gun as the evil Viacom (Trek's owners and the Borg of the 'Net) try to shut down this fun and completely innocent amateur site! Read the Entertainment Weekly story that tipped me off.

North Korea Home PageFrom Friday 1/17: Welcome to nutty North Korea, whose wacky news service that claimed its glorious leader Kim Il Sung scored 5 holes-in-one on his first round of golf! They may be reclusive - but they're on the web: The North Korean Central News Agency, the poets of propoganda!

Dumb CriminalsFrom Friday 1/10: Sure, you could've painted that Jackson Pollack painting. But he did it first. You could've made millions as a TV producer, but they did it first: America's Dumbest Criminals.

BallparksMinnesotans for Outdoor BaseballFrom Thursday 1/9: In the wake of the Twins' new stadium proposal, check out other plans from around the country at Paul Munsey's comprehensive Ballparks Page...Minnesotans for Outdoor Baseball, the group trying to privately finance a roofless ballpark. I am a skeptic, but I'm really, really glad they are trying. Someone needs to "think outside the box" -- and try to get baseball back in the hands of the people.

Naive Newt?: Judge for yourself by reading the House Ethics subcommittee report (not too long!) at the PoliticsNow website

ChristmasFrom Monday 12/23: "In Search of Christmas," a U.S. News cover story detailing just how little the commercialized areligious holiday has really changed.

WKRP"As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly!" The greatest TV radio station ever: The WKRP in Cincinnati Fan Page.
