Overnight Open ThreadWelcome to virtual Saturday. And here's a chart confirming that it really is - even with iTunes and other digital sales. People just aren't buying as much music as they used to. How come? Well for a couple of reasons - 1. People can buy just singles and not albums these days. And most of the money was in albums. Note that it's the recorded music industry that is dying. Actual performing musicians who tour and sell their music directly seem to be doing just fine. A Brief, Illustrated History of the Public Sector Unions That, Together With The Democrat Party, Are Waging War on the Taxpayer Britain Watch: Police Say Don’t Put Wire on Your Windows – It Might Hurt Burglars Residents in Surrey and Kent villages have been ordered by police to remove wire mesh from their windows as burglars could be injured.The UK seems to be descending into some kind of over the top yet real life Death Wish movie, only without any Charles Bronson. Innocuous Romantic Questions and Their Real Meanings Nope Congressman David Wu Isn't Weird At All Five Myths About the Military You Believe (Thanks to Movies) I'll be blunt: Everything about boot camp in movies is wrong. At least, it's wrong today. What you find out in boot camp is that the heart of military life isn't killing bad guys, fulfilling your potential or being all you can be. It's uniform inspections.War stories? In a combat zone like Iraq, for every one soldier whose job description includes combat, 2.5 people are in support positions doing all of the tedious but lifesaving work that makes his job possible. So if you're like the vast majority of those who serve, the rest of your life will most likely not be spent telling war stories, but rather explaining to that 15-year-old punk in Starbucks that you got the scar on your face from tripping over an unsecured air conditioning cable on the way to your bunk. Woman With World's Biggest Breasts Now In Coma Brazilian Hershey, who lives in Houston, Texas, had her MMM-cup implants removed in September after getting an infection during an op to fit them.A sad tale for her and her boobies. [And sadly due to the 'genghis rule' I can't include a picture. But I do have this artist's rendering] So Why Do Girls Love Horses, Unicorns And Dolphins? When longtime horsewoman Dominique Gioia Scaggs approaches her horse's stall at the Santa Rosa Equestrian Center each morning, a grin still breaks out on her face. She says she's always excited to see B.J. — it's one of the big relationships in her life.And then you have dolphin fantasies: Chelsea Berman, 21, works at the Monterey Bay Horsemanship Center, where she began volunteering when she was 13. Her love of horses is only rivaled by her love of dolphins. She says they "capture your heart." Tonya Harding Today There was the sex tape, the attempted acting career, the alleged claim that she was held at gun point, the stolen vehicle, the near fatal car accident, the domestic violence charges, the second car accident (this time she was under the influence), the alleged assault on her property by armed vigilantes, and finally the boxing career. And I left some stuff out because I was getting exhausted. How the hell do you recover from a life story like that? I thought—as most of us probably did—that Tonya Harding was karmically doomed for all eternity. I was wrong.Today she's 40, happily married with a baby boy on the way. Lost in Space Reunion 2011 People always act like if you liked LOST IN SPACE you had to hate STAR TREK and vice versa. No true. They're apples and oranges and I love them both and always have. I regret the sublimation of Guy Williams, one of the great action heroes of his generation, when the show veered toward camp comedy, but that's just it. It worked better that way. Jonathan Harris was okay as a villain in the early episodes but his later over-the-top characterization of Zachary Smith became one of THE great TV characters of all time.
