Senator John McCain, visits Colorado and the Dalai Lama in Aspen. He dared Obama to go abroad and now complains. . . .
Senator Barack Obama looks more and more like a Commander in Chief as he rocks the houses of Europe; and does very well in Afghanistan, Iraq, Jordan, Israel and the Palestinian Territories.
Did Obama's trip increase his stature? It must have, because attacks coming out of the McShame camp sound truly pathetic.
Is McCain REALLY gaining in the polls in CO and other battleground states, and what does that mean at this stage?
Sandra Tsing Loh: Tales Out of School (powells.com)
Good Lord, even Saint Patrick's Day can be frightening! Last March, three LAPD cop cars screamed up to our school, waved in off the boulevard by an Egyptian mom who believed the green food coloring our kindergarten teacher had put into the children's water was poison.
The truth is back here (guardian.co.uk)
It has taken 10 years for 'The X-Files' to finally return to the big screen. John Patterson asks Chris Carter what in the heavens took him so long.
A non-United States citizen of exceptional merit may be declared an Honorary Citizen of the United States by an Act of Congress, or by a proclamation issued by the President pursuant to authorization granted by Congress. As of 2008, how many people have had this honor bestowed upon them?
The Flintstones takes place in the town of Bedrock. In what county is Bedrock located?
A: Big Rock
B: Cobblestone
C: Granite
D: Marble
E: Pumice
Source
Bedrock was located in fictional Cobblestone County, and stated in the first season episode "The Tycoon" to be 200 feet below sea level; presumably, the nearby town of Red Rock was located in Cobblestone County as well. However, no further information was ever given for any of these locations, besides being set in a prehistoric version of the United States.

PS: I'm telling you, DannyD's "Trivia Reply" (today) made me laugh so hard I about wet my pants! He could not have chosen a better cast of characters for his "non-de-plum" bats had he been handed a printed script! And his, "American parishioners of baseball..." is an exquisite language use as well. I am now calling DannyD our, Master of Comedy! Just the best stuff, DD!
Vic in Ak responded:
Easy one...
The third verse of the Flinstone's intro tells it all
Flintstones, meet the Flintstones,They're a bloodthirsty stoneage family.
From the,County of Cobblestone, They're a page right out of carnality .
Let's die, at the hands of the family down the street,Through the courtesy of Barney's bloody feet.
When you're, with the Flintstones,Have a yabba youba beeya deada time,A dabba dead time, You'll have a gay dead time!
watch the Vidja it'll asplain all.
(YouTube - [adult swim] : Robot Chicken - The Flintstones receive some post )
And, DC Madman answered:
c. Granite rang a bell for some reason. Cheating says I'm wrong, it's
Cobblestone. Who'da thunk they had cobblestones in prehistoric times 6,000
years ago.
Thanks to Charlie and Vic in AK for the pictures.

Things are really weird here…..the people have to lock themselves inside their compound at night.
Oh my gawd, the Swedish girl tells the ship wrecked fella……the incredible truth…
The Most Horrible Animal
She says the huge shrew like monsters are a result of an experiment gone awry….they weigh 50 to 100 pounds…."they look like rats….smell like skunks and some call the "bone eaters"…..they are so voracious they must eat their own weight in prey every 24 hours….we need to get off the island…..now.
Stuck in a Storm
Of course all plans to leave the island get scuttled by a huge storm……
Will the blood thirsty monsters (they used coon hounds with hair attached) attack and devour all the people?
Will the mad scientist save his experiment from disaster?
What will happen to the rest of the world if these "Killer Shrews" escape to the mainland and multiply?
OH THE HORROR….OH THE TERROR…..OH THE TERRIBLE MAKE-UP!

News alert for Harry Potter fans: A book of wizard fairy tales written and illustrated by J.K. Rowling is to be published for charity.
A British charity said Thursday it hopes to raise 4 million pounds ($8 million) through sales of "The Tales of Beedle the Bard." Rowling co-founded The Children's High Level Group charity, which supports institutionalized children. She has signed over her royalties.
The book is a collection of five wizarding tales referred to in Rowling's Potter saga. It was initially produced in an edition of seven handwritten copies. Six were given away by Rowling as gifts, and one was bought by retailer Amazon at an auction in December for almost 2 million pounds ($4 million).
Rowling said the new edition would include her illustrations and introduction, the stories themselves and commentaries ostensibly by Albus Dumbledore, headmaster of the fictional Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, "which appear by generous permission of the Hogwarts Headmasters' Archive."
A trapdoor spider species found along the coast of California last year is the new eight-legged tribute to Stephen Colbert.
How will the faux conservative talk show host take this news? Viewers of the Comedy Central show "The Colbert Report" will find out Wednesday when East Carolina University biologist Jason Bond appears as a guest.
Colbert's namesake is Aptostichus (ap-TAS'-tih-kus) stephencolberti. Because Colbert doesn't pronounce the "t" in his last name, it will also be silent in the spider's name.
Colbert demanded that a spider species carry his name after learning that Bond named a spider for rocker Neil Young.
Philip Morris International has pulled down billboards and posters promoting an Alicia Keys concert Thursday in Indonesia's capital after the singer protested the cigarette company's sponsorship.
The logo and slogans of A Mild cigarettes, produced by a Philip Morris affiliate, featured prominently in promotional materials for the concert.
The Washington-based Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids anti-smoking organization initially drew Keys' attention to the company's association with the show.
The world's oldest recorded joke has been traced back to 1900 BC and suggests that toilet humor was as popular with the ancients as it is today.
It is a saying of the Sumerians, who lived in what is now southern Iraq and goes: "Something which has never occurred since time immemorial; a young woman did not fart in her husband's lap."
A 1600 BC gag about a pharaoh, said to be King Snofru, comes second -- "How do you entertain a bored pharaoh? You sail a boatload of young women dressed only in fishing nets down the Nile and urge the pharaoh to go catch a fish."
The oldest British joke dates back to the 10th Century and reveals the bawdy face of the Anglo-Saxons -- "What hangs at a man's thigh and wants to poke the hole that it's often poked before? Answer: A key."
The study was commissioned by television channel Dave. The top 10 oldest jokes can be viewed at www.dave-tv.co.uk
The late Tim Russert's son will take up a family tradition for NBC News, helping to cover the Democratic and Republican conventions.
Luke Russert's assignment as a convention correspondent focusing on "youth issues" is his first for NBC, the network said Thursday.
Russert, 22, a recent Boston College graduate, has been on the radio since 2006 as co-host with pundit James Carville of "60/20 Sports" on XM Satellite Radio.

A tape recording of The Beatles chatting and breaking into giggles during an early recording session is to be sold next week in England.
Cameo Auctioneers said Thursday that the reel-to-reel tape was recorded in 1964 and was recently found by a man in northern England while he was clearing out his father's attic.
On one part of the half-hour tape, John Lennon and Paul McCartney repeatedly collapse in laughter as they try to complete the ballad "I'll Follow the Sun."
The tape also features versions of songs including "I Feel Fine," "I'm a Loser" and "Don't Put Me Down Like This."
The producer of hit reality series "Survivor" and "The Apprentice" has countersued his longtime business partner.
Mark Burnett filed the lawsuit against Conrad Riggs on Wednesday in Los Angeles County Superior Court. In the lawsuit, Burnett claims that he paid Riggs their agreed-upon 10 percent of net earnings on television projects.
But the lawsuit says $25 million in payments wasn't enough for Riggs. Riggs is trying to get paid "on projects for which his services were never requested and on which he rendered none," Burnett's lawsuit contends.
Riggs also has tried to get networks to pay him fees directly rather than to Mark Burnett Productions, according to Burnett's lawsuit.

A tour bus carrying Snoop Dogg was pulled over and two people were arrested on marijuana possession charges Thursday a few hours before a concert in Dallas, a spokesman for the Texas Department of Public Safety said.
DPS spokesman Charlie Morgan said members of a commercial vehicle inspection team pulled the bus over on Interstate 45 in Corsicana - 52 miles south-southeast of Dallas - because the vehicle had an expired registration sticker. Troopers searched the bus for drugs after they said they smelled marijuana and found two ounces of the drug, he said.
Ethan Calhoun, 27, and Kevin Barkey, 26, were arrested on drug charges, Morgan told The Associated Press. Both men were taken to the Navarro County Jail and face fines of up to $2,000 and six months in jail if convicted, Morgan said. Bond was set at $1,500 each. A jailer said he didn't have any information on the men Thursday night.
Snoop Dogg (real name: Calvin Broadus) was not arrested. His agent had no comment, a secretary said.
Lucasfilm Ltd. and a British prop designer both claimed victory Thursday in a legal battle over the iconic Stormtrooper uniforms from the "Star Wars" films.
George Lucas's film company had sued Andrew Ainsworth, who sculpted the Stormtrooper helmets for the first "Star Wars" movie in 1977.
High Court judge Anthony Mann ruled that Ainsworth violated Lucasfilm's U.S. copyright by selling replica Stormtrooper uniforms through his Web site to customers in the United States.
But Mann refused to enforce in Britain a US$20 million judgment Lucasfilm won against Ainsworth in a California court in 2006. The judge said Ainsworth's U.S. sales, which totaled 25,000 to 30,000 pounds (US$50,000 to US$60,000), were not significant enough to make him susceptible to U.S. jurisdiction.

One of the world's longest-reigning monarchs, Brunei's Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah, marks the 40th anniversary of his coronation on Friday.
The 40th anniversary of his ascension was commemorated in a low-key manner which included religious celebrations.
Hassanal is prime minister, defence minister, finance minister and head of Islam in the Malay Muslim absolute monarchy, which dates back to the 14th century.
Brunei is Southeast Asia's fourth-largest oil producer and the world's ninth-largest exporter of liquefied natural gas, the World Trade Organisation said.
Russia's north-western region of Nizhny Novgorod has decided to eliminate the tiny village of California due to the lack of inhabitants, Itar-Tass news agency reported on Thursday.
The village was set up in the 19th century by a Russian landowner as a snub to the government for selling Alaska to the United States in 1867, Tass said.
The once vibrant village has been in decline since the Soviet collapse, with the last of its residents leaving in 2000 to seek better lives elsewhere.
Thousands of villages, abandoned by people moving to cities, are scattered across Russia, many in ruins but some frozen in time, their wooden huts unchanged for decades.

Tonga's King Siaosi Tupou V was crowned as monarch of his tiny South Pacific nation Friday in a lavish ceremony which attracted royalty from around the world and regional leaders.
The 60-year-old sovereign of Polynesia's last monarchy, known as George Tupou V in English, was crowned on a 2.5 metre (nine feet) high golden throne as a 21-cannon salute rang out and church bells tolled.
The hour long coronation at Nuku'alofa's Centenary Free Wesleyan Church was full of European pomp and ceremony.
The king wore silk knee breeches, a medal decked jacket and a maroon-coloured cape trimmed with white ermine fur and a three metre-long train carried by child pages.
A dog at a southeast Kansas zoo has adopted three tiger cubs abandoned by their mother. Safari Zoological Park owner Tom Harvey said the tiger cubs were born Sunday, but the mother had problems with them.
A day later, the mother stopped caring for them. Harvey said the cubs were wandering around, trying to find their birth mother, who wouldn't pay attention to them. That's when the cubs were put in the care of a golden retriever.
Puppies take about the same amount of time as tiger cubs to develop, and Harvey said the adoptive mother just recently weaned her own puppies.
