Image via Wikipedia Associate Professor of Finance at TCD Dr. Brian Lucey was on Nightly News with Vincent Browne (TV3) tonight saying he would not mind taking a pay cut as he’s a very well paid public sector worker and can afford to do so. Of course he also thinks others should follow his lead. I imagine it might be a bit frosty in Senior Common Room tomorrow as he takes his coffee. Some of the more lowly or maybe that should be less onscreen academics might have a bone or two to pick. And others might point ...

Since Fosco began dating Oz (who was born and raised in the Sandwich Islands), he's become more interested in all things Hawaiian. For example, did you know that "Aloha" can mean both "Hello" and "Goodbye"? Such linguistic efficiency! And did you know that Hawaii is almost entirely populated by an elusive race of people known as the Menehune? It's true. In fact, because of the Menehune's legendary shiftiness, the US Census Bureau refuses to estimate Hawaii's population at all.One Hawaiian tradition that Fosco has yet to embrace is the Aloha shirt. However, Fosco is rethinking ...

The Curious Case of Benjamin ButtonThe Dark KnightFrost/NixonMilkSlumdog Millionaireexactly as I've been predicting for Best Picture since December 10th. I was hoping for something mildly surprising like WALL•E... or a shock addition since we're always hoping for the Oscars to be less than entirely predictable. But that's your shortlist. Full steam ahead to the Kodak. ...

Following criticisms from Media Matters and other outlets, NBC has cancelled Ann Coulter's Today show appearance in support of her inflammatory new book Guilty, Politico reports. Matt Drudge says Coulter has been banned for life, quoting a network insider as saying, "We are just not going to have her on any more, it's over." Drudge reports she has been replaced during the 7am hour with Perez Hilton (also publicizing a book, Red Carpet Suicide), who recently offered $1,000 to anyone who would throw a pie at her. Media Matters asked, "Is NBC going to help Coulter sell this book?" ...

This morning I posted about the New York Times mobile service and its censorship of the word "gay" in headlines texted to users' mobile devices. Above is the screenshot of what you received on your phone when someone texted any article in which the word "gay" appeared in the headline. I'm happy to report that the NYT has corrected the issue. A source affiliated with the Pride GLBT Affinity group forwarded me the following message that was sent out by the paper's Corporate Communications: "Earlier today a technical error occurred with The Times's text messaging platform that caused the word 'gay' ...

One great thing about not working outside the house in an office is that when I've finished all my work for the day I can say, "I'm done" and not have to pretend to keep busy until I'm allowed to leave. Today I got it all accomplished by noon, and now I'm cleaning the kitchen thoroughly for what seems like the first time December 23rd. We have an old CD/cassette player in the kitchen that my dad left behind when he died in 1998. The CD part is long busted but the cassette player still works. So we listen to ...

Apparently hell has frozen over again. The Eagles are touring again. What’s that you say, didn’t the Eagles do a “Farewell Tour” in 1994 to promote their new album “Hell Freezes Over”? They are now promoting their 2007 Album “Long Road Out Of Eden” and have Concert Dates January thru July 2009.I don’t know about you, but I had my fill of “Hotel Calfornia” back in 1976 when it came out. For me, hearing it is worse than nails on a chalkboard. Nuff said. Just in case you like nails on a chalkboard, enjoy:As I recall the ticket ...

OK so I’ve been avoiding my blog. It’s not because I dislike it or anything… I don’t.  I just dread writing lately.  I worry that I may start a post and never finish it (because that’s NEVER happened before.  Ha ha.)  I worry that I may write too much and nobody would want to read it.  And I worry that I really have nothing to say, after all. Well, that’s a lie.  I have plenty to say.  In fact, there have been numerous subjects on which I could have said volumes, including Proposition 8, Obama asking Rick Warren to do the invocation ...

The saga continues…Access Hollywood is reporting that Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson have broken up. To be honest I’m hoping this isn’t true. I was kinda rooting for the pair of them to defy the odds, withstand the paparazzi and endless gossip and ride off into the sunset on white horses between Ellen and Portia. However [...] ...

The Most Holy Redeemer Church, located in the heart of San Francisco’s Castro district, was targeted by vandals over the weekend, presumably over the Catholic Church’s support of Proposition 8. The parish church was spray painted with swastikas, the slogan “Prop H8,” and with the names “Ratzinger” (referring to Pope Benedict XVI) and San Francisco Archbishop Niederauer. San Franciso police are investigating the vandalism as a hate crime. Impressively, the erudite vandals spelled Niederauer’s name correctly (a feat that I can’t accomplish without the old trusty cut-and-paste). Niederauer became an outspoken proponent of Prop 8 during the campaign, sending a ...

People can’t stand the unknowns, So to silence the gloom and doom groans, Jobs wrote a terse letter That said he’d get better. It’s just a small glitch in his hormones. We have officially outgrown haiku. That’s right, we’re moving on to limericks. Rhyming verse. Can you handle it? The endless speculation about Jobs’s health says a lot about the public perceptions of him and his company. If Bill Gates announced tomorrow that he had terminal tertiary syphilis, would any Microsoft investors care? Do you think Google would tank if Eric Schmidt came down with a case of malaria? How about the CEO of Sun ...

My second Dame Edna post in a week, who knew? From The Guardian (via Lady Bunny) “I have had a little cosmetic surgery. I had some crow’s feet added to my eyes because people said that I looked too young.” “Does the ageing process worry me? Yes, it will do, when I start to age. Meanwhile, it worries me in other people because I have to keep repeating myself, talk louder and help them out of their chairs. And in my mother’s case purée her meals. I invented diets and my most successful one is my famous “All Cake Diet”, exclusively ...
