[Now with Second Bonus Update below! -tk] [Note: Updated below – tk] Well, that was quick. Last week it appeared that Republicans had made a tactical decision to shed their stuffy, country club image...
I threw in some random thoughts during the GOP’s Convention last week and thought it only fair I do the same for the Democrats.
Back in May I came up with a crazy plan to see a lot of movies this summer. My list started with 19 movies, grew to 23 at one point and was scaled back...
Hey, LoOG Fantasy Football players! This is your week one reminder to get your rosters updated today, before 8:30 eastern time (5:30 Pacific). For some reason that makes little sense to me, the NFL scheduled...
There are a handful of pundits whom I avoid reading. I avoid reading them because I find them so reliably infuriating that I end up saying regrettable things; or at the very least, with...
I think Tom Junod’s characterization of the First Lady’s speech is exactly right. “Republican commentators,” he writes, “spoke almost winsomely of Ann Romney’s need to humanize Mitt Romney; but no Democratic commentator could speak of the...
It’s more than likely that the next twenty-four hours of news coverage will be about how Michelle Obama didn’t just “humanize” her husband during her DNC speech, she went on the offensive. It was...
The Tuesday after Labor Day traditionally marks the beginning of the school year. Today, children across America streamed into classrooms where they will begin yet another 10 month odyssey of learning. For some children,...
A friend recently related a story to me about how she was once rudely admonished by a fellow student at a religious university for wearing, at the gym, what he considered to be immodest...
Actually I’m not. In this picture I’m on a mother fishin’ crain, well actually, a “bucket truck“, about 40 feet off the ground, more or less directly over the forward mast step. (There’s the...
So I got Roethlisberger as my quarterback. This season, we can be Steelers fans together. I’ve been working on the chant: “I’m thinking that Pittsburgh’s goin’ to the Super Bowl!” (My heart will still...
Not long ago, we discussed Oscar Pistorius, a double-amputee who used prosthetics to complete at this summer’s Olympic Games. That conversation coupled with this latest development makes me want to start singing Mrs. Ms. Morissette’s very ironically...
Having previously asserted that Bill Clinton lost the election for Al Gore, and that much misery throughout the world might have been avoided if Slick Willie had refrained from slicking his willy, I would...
I remember when I first had the thought. My wife (to be) and I were sitting on her sofa, watching the tugs go up and down the East River, discussing I-don’t-remember-what, and I thought,...
“Here is the test to find whether your mission on Earth is finished: if you’re alive, it isn’t.” – Illusions __________ I was in high school when I first became a Richard Bach fan. ...
I recently shared my plan/hope/desire to follow college football more intensely this season. I shared a list of reasons I had struggled to get that into it before and the reasons I thought I...
I found this to be an interesting take on the Clint Eastwood convention speech fiasco. I promised, for the most part that I would stay off politics for this weekend, for my own sanity....
Of all the many odd things that are happening in this election cycle, maybe the oddest is the current strategy of those looking to put Mitt Romney in the White House. I could be...
The passage: HH: Are you still running? PR: Yeah, I hurt a disc in my back, so I don’t run marathons anymore. I just run ten miles or yes. HH: But you did run...
ARISTOCRACY, n. Government by the best men. (In this sense the word is obsolete; so is that kind of government.) Fellows that wear downy hats and clean shirts—guilty of education and suspected of bank...
We had a recent outage due to ongoing problems with the latest WordPress update. We were also forced into some theme changes. Some of these changes are temporary and some are probably not. We apologize for the inconvenience.
