Posted on August 1, 2007 by Gary BUTTERWORTH

The Simpsons Movie (That is supposed to be me as a Simpsons character, courtesy of simpsonizeme.com) First, I saw The Simpsons Movie. This is only about the third time that I’ve [...]

Books, Travel, Politics, and The Old Patagonian Express
Posted on June 24, 2007 by Gary BUTTERWORTH
Stratford, NJ, USA Just like writing on my website, when it comes to reading books, I go in spurts. It’s not uncommon for me to read 5 books in a month, and then not crack a book for a year. That can be a good thing or a bad thing. When I get on a roll, [...]

More comments than content!
Posted on June 17, 2007 by Gary BUTTERWORTH

More local “news”
Posted on June 17, 2007 by Gary BUTTERWORTH
Stratford, NJ, USA In my last post, I talked about how our local NBC affiliate wasted FAR too much time on a story about how one of its own reporters sought revenge on a guy who fondled her panties. Well, our ABC affiliate wasn’t about to be out-done! The next day, Philadelphia’s 11pm newscast on 6ABC [...]

An Inconvenient Truth, and labels in US politics
Posted on June 4, 2007 by Gary BUTTERWORTH
After months of completely ignoring my Netflix account, I finally watched An Inconvenient Truth the other day. A while ago, I wrote this post on the 2008 presidential race and global warming (yes, I should have made it two posts instead of awkwardly jamming two topics together). The movie didn’t do much to change my [...]

What the hell happened to NJ?!
Posted on April 19, 2007 by Gary BUTTERWORTH
This time last week, I had just touched the Pacific Ocean for the first time. Today, I spent the afternoon emptying Lake Horner out of my grandmom’s basement. Just to recap, while I was gone: Don Imus lost his job because of his comment about the “nappy-headed hoes” at Rutgers, New Brunswick. The governor got [...]

Zimbabwe-Ireland Cricket
Posted on March 16, 2007 by Gary BUTTERWORTH
Holy carp!| Did you see that match yesterday?! I mean, dang! I used to think that the most exciting play in sports was a last-second field goal in (American) footbal. If it was good, you could have a win (or a tie, depending up on the circumstances; if it missed, you could have a loss (or [...]
