...started, all you need is a mike (internal or USB-connected) or video camera. MySpace Karaoke ksolo.myspace.com and YouTube are free but pretty thin; it would be hard to charge my neighbors to sing along to some joker doing "Memories" on YouTube. By contrast, the Karaoke Channel Online thekaraokechannel.com streams scrolling lyrics and professional-grade karaoke, in instrumental or sing-along mode, for $14.95 a day or $9.95 a month for a minimum of two months. As far as I can tell, with more than 4,000 songs and close to 100 added a week, it has the biggest music...

I wait all year for that third weekend in November to come along. But why don’t we make that day we pretend to be real football schools a day on which we take part in the activities that a real football school would take part in? Big time football schools like Michigan and Michigan State’s newspapers...
...months clinging onto my belief in the old John McCain, still hoping he could pull through as the change we needed. Yet as I cast my absentee ballot for the McCain-Palin ticket last week, I understood why undecided voters would find the Obama-Biden train more appealing. Somewhere along the campaign trail, John McCain lost his ability to inspire voters. I’m sad he’s lost, but I’m sadder that he played such a deliberate role in the reason for his defeat...
