win an audio book from Rick
I recently read listened to an audio book called I Am America (And So Can You!) by Stephen Colbert.
Now if you love Colbert, you will love this book.
If you really love Colbert (as I do) you will really love this book.
He’s a one trick pony — making fun of stuffy right-wing mentality by pretending to be a diehard right-winger himself.
The contest:
Brian challenged me to come up with a new word to properly describe the process of listening to an audio book. A new verb.
Not “read”. Not “listen”.
Whoever comes up with the best neologism wins a free Audible.com audio book from RickMcCharles.com !!

Jon Stewart through 2010
Good news:
Comedy Central’s most valuable gem, “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart,” has the most uncanny knack for satire on everything today’s news can dish out, but before Jon Stewart, the show was barely a blip on the radar. (I dare you to recall any significant, memorable episodes when Craig Kilborn hosted; many of you are probably wondering who that even is, if you’re not asking when he ever hosted “The Daily Show.”) …
But if you’re wondering who will mock the next President Elect of the United States after he is elected, never fear! Jon Stewart will still be here! Comedy Central has extended his contract to 2010, according to a report by ComingSoon.net, which quoted Stewart on the good news.
“I love doing this show,” Stewart stated. “I feel like I work with and for the best in the business. I look forward to using this extension to having great fun at President (Stephen) Colbert’s expense.”

I much prefer Colbert, myself. Here’s a thoughtful article from the LA Times:
Colbert vs. Stewart – Has the student surpassed the master?
You can watch clips from both shows whenever you want on-line, commercial free, on a number of legal sites. I use NewsCloud.
man skips stone 51 times for world record
Yet another Guinness Book record WAY out of reach for me:
A Pennsylvania man cast a stone that skipped on water a whopping 51 times, shattering the old world record of 40.
Russell “Rock Bottom” Byars’ feat happened July 19, where the Allegheny River meets French Creek in Franklin, about 70 miles north of Pittsburgh. He estimated his stone traveled about 250 feet. …

bad Spanish American statues
One of the great charms of travelling in Latin America is making fun of abysmal statues taking up space almost everywhere.
This group of insurgents might just have the right idea:
Opposition protesters in Mexico have torn down a bronze statue of the former president, Vicente Fox, just hours after it was erected.They threw eggs at the monument in Boca del Rio in the state of Veracruz, before putting a rope around its neck and pulling it to the ground.
BBC NEWS | World | Americas | Ex-Mexican leader’s statue felled
Though statuary was perfected in 1504, art has taken a serious downturn everywhere I’ve travelled in Spanish North America.
In Maz more than anywhere else I’ve been, the monuments are very popular. Mexican tourists hire a cab and sprint statue-to-statue taking photos at each.
The upcoming Cultural Arts Festival, Mazatlán is using one of the monuments in their advertising. And they seem to be serious.
New statues are still being erected. A bronze of Jose Angel Espinoza Choix Aragon (musician / actor) went up a couple of weeks ago. In Canada we would be surprised to see a statue of any musician / actor. In Mexicio, this guy already has five in various places.
Personally, after I’m gone I’d rather people not be asking, “What’s so special about Rick that they put up a statue for him?”
And I don’t need seagulls crapping on my head.
Of many, many statues in Maz my favourite is the mermaid with cupid.
At least half the monuments have topless women, one of the few ways to display nudity in a Catholic country.
