Mr. Gershe: Oxford is in England!

Norton: Well to tell you the truth, it was so foggy over there, I couldn’t’ tell where it was.

I thought about that classic Honeymooner’s exchange earlier today when I stumbled on this site about Oxford UK (2 hits). Britain’s Heritage Cities is a pretty cool site, besides information about Oxford city (2 hits), the site also includes information about cities like Bath, York and Stratfort.

The site is designed for anyone who wants to travel to Jolly Old England – it includes lists of things to do, tours, restaurants, maps and more. Have a look, oh and tell ‘em Norton sent you!

Have you noticed that there are real problems in the world? You know, things like terrorism, war, nuclear weapons, global warming, $3 dollar a gallon gas prices —you know, little problems like those. You’d think that our elected officials would have enough to keep them busy —wouldn’t you? Well guess what, instead of focusing on these problems what are they attacking? Online Gambling (4 hits).

That’s right, at the same time our kids are being maimed and killed in Iraq the president and his merry band of idiots are busy concerning themselves with crafting legislation to stop us from committing the horrible crime of playing poker (4 hits) in our living rooms. What’s next, will they find a way to keep us from smoking a cigarette while we watch the evening news?

Oh and don’t think for one split second that this is your government trying to protect you from the evils of online gambling (4 hits)!!! Nope: EVERY single piece of anti-gambling legislation has huge carve-outs to allow things like –Lotto and betting on horse racing — No, don’t be fooled, it’s all about money and more specifically the governments inability to collect tax dollars from these gambling sites. Don’t let ‘em fool you, if you want to play poker online – contact your local representatives and let them know!

Here’s a cool website I just found out about, OpticsPlanet.com. OpticsPlanet sells pretty much everything related to optics. You can find sunglasses, telescopes, microscopes even cool spy stuff like night vision (2 hits) goggles.

The site also features a very active message board. The board is organized by product category. Interested in talking with other people about binoculars? Visit the binocular forum, ditto for radar guns or sunglasses. The board if free and you don’t even have to be a customer to use it. I like sites like this because you can get more information about a specific product before you make your purchase.

Optics Planet offers thousands of optical products from toys to police quality radar guns, oh and, shipping via UPS is free.
