Filling In The Blanks

Tinkering with my WordPress client a little at a time I realized that some folks subscribing to my HOT Uploads news feed might have missed some relevant content on the main site – www.tocc.tv. (More on this a little later.) So I’ve made a list of links here to headlines there that you might want […]

CRAP! Mitt Romney’s “Bane Capital”

(Whatever happened to the Hollywood movie “911” released a few months before 911?) Yesterday, and a few days before, the character “Bane” in the new Batman movie was scrutinized by news media as a deliberate reference by Hollywood – Warner Brothers, to Romney’s Bain Capital.

Huntsville’s Bicentennial

Click on the photograph for a panoramic showing where the new bicentennial fountain SHOULD be located. Bye Centennial apparently is the correct connotation for the activities and “celebrations” to be associated with Huntsville’s bicentennial year of 2005.
