7 Reasons Why Condoms Suck, But Why Getting an STD Is Worse

Fans of shock jock Howard Stern know that he likes using condoms, but that's not too surprising given his oft-reported small size and easily aroused, hornball reputation.

The Chauncey Bailey Blogger Project - "Bailey Blogger" Tag

My friend Oakland Post Editor Chauncey Bailey was murdered by a person dressed in Black in a ski mask while walking to work at 7:30 AM August 2nd, 2007.  While one person claimed that he was the murderer, this has not been confirmed via evidence and a coverup is said to have occurred either by an Oakland Police officer or officers and member of Your Black Muslim Bakery -- or both.  Or the story is more complicated than that. 


Regardless, it's been over a year, and we're not closer to a resolution of this question of who murdered Bailey.   The Chauncey Bailey Project CBP has done work on the matter, but seems more interested in applying for awards than solving the crime.  The CBP staff page includes links to "old media" people in newspapers, but no blogs or bloggers.   


So with that, I'm starting The Chauncey Bailey Blogger Project.  The main objective of this project is to increase the number of works on this matter and build a list of evidence elements and a resolution.  


If you want to participate, research and write about something related to this issue, and tag it "bailey blogger", then write a link to it in the comment section of this blog post. Eventually, I will make a widget to help access these posts.  


Let's get a large number of blogs and videos about this going.  Let's get to the bottom of this, and avenge Chauncey's name. 

Kraft YouTube Cooking Challenge Looks Like Fun!

Well, cool.  The prize should be $5,000 I think, but that's me.  Here's the video: 

Texas Tech Stuns Number One Texas 39 to 33

This was one of the most amazing college football games I've ever seen and I've seen a lot of them.  In a thrilling pass-o-rama, Texas Tech's Mike Leach showed the nation what an incredible passing game he's developed on ABC television and I watch it.  Wow.  Texas Tech 38, Number One Texas, 33 .  A game that people will talk about for years to come.
