Due to the intense media focus of Katrina, Judge Roberts has been […]
The New Orleans Times-Picayune’s response to Katrina and the aftermath is an illustration of the resourcefulness and challenges facing the city. In regard to the latter, the 260,000 circulation newspaper is not publishing today since it doesn’t yet have a location to print the paper nor is it sure how it would get them to […]
(click on post title, or here, for the rest)CBGB , the original home of Television, Blondie, Ramones, Richard Hell and Voidoids, and so many others is running a campaign to be saved. To be honest, I thought that the club closed 20 some years ago, and would think that most of the original patrons are now getting hip replacements.
On the subject of […]

(click on post title, or here, for the rest)I’ve been meaning to write about an outstanding website called “8763 Wonderland.” If that address doesn’t mean anything to you then at least rent the Val Kilmer movie which I thought did a decent job of covering one of the more notorious murders in Los Angeles’s history from which the site takes its name.
8763 Wonderland […]
I’m too tired to even try and be witty so this admittedly old news is going to have to stand on its own merits (so to speak). Bill and Hillary Clinton’s relationship has spawned a musical. Odd? Yes. But then again who would have thought that a story of the hijacking of the passenger liner […]
(click on post title, or here, for the rest)Independent Sources believes that technology ultimately solves the problems that it creates. There is just a lag between the two. Nonbelievers will point out that when it comes to a finite resource like oil there just isn’t much technology can do.
We also believe the basic law of close substitutes which states in so many […]
According to Loren Jordaan of the National Responsible Gambling Programme, wearing adult diapers while gambling to avoid excusing yourself from the gaming tables is a sure sign of a gambling problem.
“Such unsociable behaviour is a clear sign that a person has become an addict or a compulsive gambler.”
According to Jordaan, adult diapers aren’t the only sign of a […]
(click on post title, or here, for the rest)Independent Sources just loves this sort of thing:
A car carrying the Rev. Al Sharpton led sheriff’s deputies on a nine-mile chase at speeds up to 110 mph before state troopers stopped the vehicle and arrested the driver, authorities said.
Because the 2005 Lincoln was rented to Jarrett B. Maupin, of Phoenix, sheriff’s deputies impounded the car. […]
In what sounds like a late-night re-financing commercial…
Bad Credit? No Problem!
Criminal Past? No Problemo!
…could actually be a recruiting campaign from the LAPD. Hampered by an inability to find suitable candidates that don’t either have credit problems or past drug usage, or both, the LAPD is lowering its standards.
The new LAPD standard will bring it more […]
Good news for Blog readers:
Moon reports that the man who gave us “Making Flippy Floppy”, “Slippery People”, “Nothing But Flowers”, and of course, the ultimate question in “Once In Lifetime,” is blogging.
Folks, this is possibly the funniest thing on the Internet!

Good new for investors?
While communicating with Mr. Moon today, he noted (as I did) that […]
The Associated Press via MSNBC has the early lead in making what appears to us to be the most extreme and inflammatory statement by leading this morning with this story:
Hurricane could leave 1 million homeless
Experts warn of ‘incredible environmental disaster’ of biblical proportions
The center’s latest computer simulations indicate that by Tuesday, vast swaths of New […]
Christian Irwin, the music producer who disappeared under bizarre circumstances after making frantic phone calls about a Nigerian Internet Scam, appears to have been the victim of he infamous “overpayment cheque scam.” Fraud humor website419 Zeros says this about this type of scam:
This scam is normally targeted at people actually selling items on the internet, […]
(click on post title, or here, for the rest)Since Independent Sources has found itself posting a few articles deriding the French for everything from their screwed up economy to how bad of a friend they’ve historically been to the US, we thought that it was appropriate to point out something they are doing right–even if we could only find one.
France appears to be starting to […]
In case you missed my earlier post on Tobacco and the Flat Tax, I’m new to Independent Sources. I go by Moon and I host Moonage Webdream.
If Starbucks is featured at the 2006 DNC, Kerry is once again their candidate of choice for 2008. If it’s Dunkin Donuts, Hillary is in for 2008.
How do I know […]
