Stuff that didn't quite make Bill's Bites. Continuously updated, newest items at the top.

Gonna try a little experiment here and see how it works out. Sometimes as I surf the web I run across something that's more "human interest" than "hard news," more "entertainment" than "news" at all, and I have to stop and consider "Is that worth pushing everything on Bill's Bites" down the page to make room for, and maybe having to move something more important "below the fold?" "Sure it's a cute cartoon but George is still on dial-up. Will he appreciate it enough to justify the download time?" "So, really, what do baseball and football have to do with the price of bullets in Beirut?" Solution(?): A separate post for "Page 2 or 3" stuff that I don't want to clutter the front page with but don't want to ignore completely. Enter "Soft Bites." Is this my answer? Bark at me.

How does one of the world’s most technologically advanced societies address the need for companionship in an age of historically low birth rates?

You have us at a disadvantage, ladies. But only for the moment. ...

Sunday football: TO, Cowboys, etc

I’m not a big fan of either team, but it’s always nice to see the Cowboys lose, especially when you know someone who is a huge fan. I’m not trying to go Jerry Seinfeld on you, but what’s the deal with Terrell Owens? All week long the press hyped the TO-McNabb showdown as must-see TV. What a shame that TO was practically shutout.

Foley told lover: I don’t shtup pages

He’s principled about these things. Sure, he’ll tell a 17-year-old he’d like to slip his boxers off. But actually slip his boxers off?

No way. What do you think he is, some kind of perv?

A former House page says he had sex with then-Rep. Mark Foley (R-Fla.) after receiving explicit e-mails in which the congressman described assessing the sexual orientation and physical attributes of underage pages but waiting until later to make direct advances…

Via MetaFilter. I’m 98% sure at least some of them were written by atheists to goof on believers. Either way, though, pretty funny.
