"Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see."
~Ben Franklin.
To that end, before you drop your ballot in the box, learn the facts from the non-partisan Annenberg Political Fact Check group...
Next, and fer the luv-a-God, if it sounds too shockingly outrageous (especially if you're really pissed off upset),
there's a good chance you've just stumbled over an urban legend. Check Snopes.com before forwarding that email!
Now we all have to get our news from somewhere... and no matter where you get it, they screw up. Check out Regret The Error to get a feel for the errors in your favorite news source.
If after all this you suddenly feel the need to try a new news source, you can't go wrong starting with The Onion...
...Speaking of absurd, what if Gomer Pyle had been a space marine? Check out Rooster Teeth to visit the home of the popular web series "Red vs. Blue"
Almost everybody knows they can find an online encyclopedia of media information at The Internet Movie Database (IMDb). What many might not know is the old place to look at commericals and popular videos is back!. Check out IFILM to see all the Super Bowl ads you missed when you were going to the bathroom...
Finally, I've been a student of the English Language ever since I realized I could use it to ask for french fries. While my
command of the language is unquestionably questionable, I did graduate with a Bachelor of Arts (English) from the University
of Nothing Much New Mexico, thus credentialling me as a sworn deputy of my beloved language. For most grads rolling out of the English Department (especially the future waiters known as "Literature Grads"), this means taking up the torch of the Grammarian. I, however,
was a "Creative Writing" rebel and a hair's breadth away from being a linguist. To keep my tongue sharp, I read The Language Log. Or, when I need a spiritual recharge, I seek counsel from the Wizard of Idiom (Attila the Pun... Conan the Grammarian):
Richard Lederer. If you haven't read Anguished English, do so. It will [likely] be the funniest read of your life.

Friends and Family:
Check out Jenny's Site. Truly my partner in piracy and all things worth doing...
I've opted for an action shot over a headshot. Here, you see Jenny at the bottom of Stoney Point, complete with backpack and
rappelling harness. She is my Daynger Girl!
Or, check the sister's site: Kirstin's Page. Amazingly enough, she's transcended New Jersey and achieved a state of "California." A bartender by trade, she's currently
working at... Universal Studios (though I wouldn't be surprised if Warner Brothers steals her away).
Oh, and Kirstin... Congratulations. You've earned it.
Here's a picture of semi-web-savvy, highly talented,
artistic – and now Rider College graduate – cousin Luke. Here is his site. He is currently passing through the rites of passage for all theater majors though I have no doubt he'll be invading Hollywood
in short order.
But what I really want to do is direct...
Here be Tom's Site. The Bugle Call talks a little about my father, what he's doing and where he comes from. His passion can be found on another
site: Bugles Across America, a service that provides a live rendition of taps at veteran's funerals, giving those proud warriors one last recognition
of their brave service.
More to come as people get web savvy...
This space reserved for the next folk to actually get their picture on their website. And no, I won't put up one until I can
put up both...
