Official Bonehead List

Current status of the Official Bonehead List I am maintaining on this website. Selectees are Howard Hughes, Quaker Oats management, and German media EM.TV. I'm sure there will be more to come.

I should make mention of the fact that I have opted for the name Official Bonehead List because I became aware that someone else has already used Bonehead Hall of Fame.

 Tattoos and Piercings

To give all readers a heads up (and maybe prompt some comments), two subjects I plan on writing about in depth are body piercing and tattoos. I have strong opinions regarding both.

 Hyphenated Names

Has anyone noticed that there has been a paucity of hyphenated names? During the 70's and 80's, it appeared to be an unstoppable movement by the feminist crowd to have all women hyphenate their names upon marriage. And some did. The then prevalent media seemed to be drawn to women with a hyphen. Doesn't seem so anymore. Maybe it was a fad.

 Senator Lieberman and Elmer Fudd

My hearing must be impaired. If it is not, then why has no one mentioned that Senator Joe Lieberman's voice sounds like Elmer Fudd? I'd almost give a paycheck to see him on TV saying "Silly wabbit."

I'm still trying to figure out the blogging process. I post messages and they can be read, but there seems to be no way for a reader to contact me or make comments. I also want to link to another website. More research is warranted.

 Muppet Movement

As I understand, in February 2000, Jim Henson Enterprises sold 'The Muppets' to EM.TV, a German media firm, for $680 million in cash and stock. Just last week, it was announced that EM.TV will sell 'The Muppets' to the Henson kids for a price of $89 million. In slightly over two years, EM.TV was able to lose $591 million. Looks to me that those numbers easily qualify as bonehead management making bonehead decisions.

 SARS Thought

Let's hope that SARS doesn't spread through the American midwest and a conflict arises concerning the wearing of masks in public. Many laws have been instituted against mask-wearing as a method to curtail KKK rallies. I'd not like the change of those laws to prevent the spread of SARS, but maybe they could suspend them temporarily. In general, they're pretty good laws.
