Mapping Distribution of Income by Religious Belief

It’s no secret that the distribution of wealth is inequitable in the United States across racial, regional and socio-economic groups. But there is a distinct variance among and within Americas faiths as well.

Bag of Randomness

  • WifeGeeding made a trip to our local Wal-Mart Supercenter last night and informed me not one cart was available.
  • I feel pressured to say Wal-Mart Supercenter and not Super Wal-Mart because I a former coworker would always correct me and accuse me of changing the store name.
  • Speaking of Wal-Mart: Target Cheaper Than Wal-Mart As Gap Widest In Two Years
  • Now that the Red Sox have all sorts of cap room available, I bet you will see Josh Hamilton in a home jersey at Fenway next year.  Personally, I wouldn’t miss him, he’s too much of a headcase and inconsistent.
  • I saw one of our local news stations doing a feature on health code violations at popular restaurants the other night.  Seriously, they do this at least once a year, and it’s such low hanging fruit . . . I just expect more out of investigative journalism.
  • I was in the post office the other day and a mother was letting her little daughter go crazy and from time to time correct her in loud Spanish.  However, once outside the building, she was correctly her softly in English.  #confused
  • I always use to make fun of former Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator Ernie Zampese’s addition to cigarettes.  In the latest MMQB, Zampese and his doctors claim that his stroke somehow flip a switch in his brain which causes him to no longer crave a cigarette.
  • Is Skip Bayless the worst thing to ever come out of Dallas?
  • Jerry Jones has been criticized by the local media for not drafting ‘troubled’ wide receiver Randy Moss and really missing out on an incredible player . . . and the same media is criticizing Jones for drafting ‘troubled’ wide receiver Dez Bryant.  You’re damned if you do, you are damned if you don’t.
  • How on earth could the Cowboys let the Dez Bryant rules and restrictions out?
  • So many folks in the area wonder why Jerry Jones keeps doing Papa John’s commercials.  I guess they forget he owns a 49% stake in over 70 franchises in the area.
  • MTV has their own fantasy election website.
  • Maybe it’s because no one has really invited me to be a part of a fantasy football league, and I’m not asking anyone to, but I kind of think of fantasy football as something of the past or just for guys in their 20’s.
  • There’s been a crazy amount of high school football being televised on ESPN as of late.
  • Speaking of high school football, the here’s a top ten ranking.  Two of the top ten teams are in the DFW area.  Surprisingly, at least to me, Dallas Skyline outranks Southlake Carroll.
  • I admire you, Bill Nye, but at least we don’t live in Turkey.
  • Video of lava being poured on six feet of ice
  • YouTube – “Now, how would you feel, Mrs. Armstrong, if it turned out – of course nobody knows – but if it turns out that your son is the first man to land on the moon? What, how do, how would you feel?”
  • Man Killed While Trying to Create Bigfoot Sighting
  • A great back to school photo
  • Seriously, it’s the last straw

Sleeping Beauty art exhibit will end in real-life marriages

“Sleeping Beauties” in heavy make-up and long white nightgowns are lying on beds at National Art Museum of Ukraine, waiting to be kissed by the general public. Each girl has signed a contract with artist Taras Polataiko, promising to marry any man who can open her eyes with just a kiss.

And any unmarried male suitor over the age of 18 who comes to view the exhibit has to sign a similar contract: if the Sleeping Beauty opens her eyes during the kiss, he’ll be her husband.

Star Wars Detours

Star Wars Detours™ is an animated comedy that explores what daily life is like in a galaxy far, far away. There are no Empires striking back or attacking clones here. Instead, Star Wars Detours focuses on the universe’s regular folks and their everyday problems… which, to be fair, do frequently involve famous bounty hunters, crazed Ewoks, and even a Dark Lord of the Sith.

Welcome to Star Wars: Detours: the other side of the stars, between the wars.
