 From 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! 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.
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.
From 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!

From
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.
 From 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

forget to check out the Brauer Show Bumper
Music Page.
