News Bites

Remember former Florida Secretary of State? She's a frequent news item here, because she's running for Senate against incumbent Bill Nelson. And apparently, even the rest of the Republicans don't think she's a good candidate.

Talk about Karma...A waitress asks to see ID before serving a patron a drink, only to be handed her own stolen license.

And, today is the 25th anniversary of MTV's debut. There are a few top N lists floating around. Here's one from the Detroit Free Press and a different one from the AP. Have an interesting opinion piece, for good measure, too.

VH1 Classic is re-running the programming from the first day. I do wish they would bring back Remote Control though. And is anyone else watching VH1's World Series of Pop Culture?

I watched a few eps of the World Series of Pop CUlture last week...I must admit that I was a little shocked that it took the one woman a while to figure out what movie "My name is Inigo Montoya. You Killed my father. Prepare to die." came from, or that no one knew what the four drinks in "Tubthumpin'" are.

Whiskey, vodka, cider, lager, and no I didn't look them up. I'm just a nerd.

And my ping reply on IRC (a message that your client sends back when someone
pings you to find out how long it's taking for stuff to get from them to you) used to be "My Name is Inigo Montoya. You Pinged my Father. Prepare to die."
