My Thanksgiving and Black Friday adventures

Trent Lott says "Buh bye." I say "good riddance!"

Could a solution to global warming be as close as your refrigerator?

I was a guest on Archerradio's extra-long group show last week, and will be on the Friday show this week.

I was also a guest on Tristin's Jaded City podcast.

Still accepting congratulatory messages for the upcoming 100th episode. Call the listener line or email me an mp3 or wav file, and plug your show while you are at it!

Exciting development in the show this week, but you gotta listen to find out what!

I ran across this really, really cool story on the New York Times web site.

It seems that Harvard University linebacker Noah Van Niel shows signs of being more than just an NFL draft pick or a commentator on a sports channel. This guy can SING. The video linked here shows a typical locker room session that has a surprising ending.

No, not that kind of ending...

I remember a time not too long ago that a guy who dared to show off a singing talent like this would face risks ranging from being called the "f" word to outright violence. The fact that a girlfriend is mentioned in an article on Noah speaks to some underlying prejudices toward creative men, but at the same time, I applaud the Times for at least giving him a much-deserved spotlight.

Fortunately, Noah is only the recipient of some mild ribbing from his team mates and coach, and the sing-along toward the end is encouraging (not to mention, strangely hot).

Stories like this give me hope.

The Kentucky Republican Party's secret weapon is...PAT BOONE??????

New Attorney General Michael B. Mukasey is--to quote President Bush--following "in the footsteps of a fine manand a fine American, Al Gonzales." (Hopefully with a subpoena and a pair of handcuffs)

Actual New York Times headline: "U.S. Ponders War Message, and How Best to Deliver It" (Might I suggest telling the truth?)

I had another two guest appearances on Archerradio. Thanks again, Archerr!

Dear listeners:

After listening to my most recent appearances on Archerradio, I realized that I had promised to talk about a story connected with the Kentucky gubernatorial election. I did not come through on that promise, and I apologize. Please look for my upcoming episode this week, and the story will get priority treatment.

Thanks again for listening!

Your host,
David Byrd

Tribute to the late Robert Goulet.

Actress Natalie Portman, the Hope Ambassador for FINCA International has teamed up with iTunes and IODA to produce a benefit album that would support efforts to provide microcredit to underprivileged but ambitious female entrepeneurs in third-world countries.

I have issued a challenge to all of my listeners and readers: if you buy the album from iTunes by clicking through the link on my blog site, I will donate all commission from the sale to FINCA International. This is an open-ended offer, and no catches.

Listen in to get more details about this subject.

I had another guest appearance on Archerradio. Thanks again, Archerr!
