The day I brought this knife home, I carefully used a cotton t-shirt to wipe a smudge off of the blade. Not carefully enough! It sliced through the shirt, and shaved my fingerprint off, without drawing blood. I shitunot! So is this. I have both, along with several other fine products from the good folks [...]

In a post I wrote on election night, I said that “a part of me desperately wants to believe that Obama will be [a] breath of fresh air….[but] I remain profoundly afraid that he’s just not ready for the job.” I didn’t vote for him, but I hoped that I was wrong about him not [...]

As the attention in the media is misplaced today, as it so often is, I make note of the most newsworthy item of the day. President George Bush, and his most gracious first lady, Laura, will be departing the festering cesspool, known as Washington, D.C., and returning to the great state of Texas. I am [...]

In the spirit of “Loyal Opposition My [redacted],” I would like to offer y’all some cheer for the upcoming inauguration.

I’ve finally been able to come up with the descriptive term for the tingling sensation running down my leg, as the 44th President of the United States begins his term of service. Pre Inaugural Stress Syndrome. And, after Tuesday, it will most likely evolve into Post Inaugural Stress Syndrome, thus preserving its acronymical integrity. This [...]

(((Watch the game))) At the end of the 1st quarter, Florida is 1st and 20 at their own 31 following back to back false-start penalties (both on #75). Oklahoma punted on their first two possessions, although I’ve got to say that Bradford looks very sharp. Second quarter: on third and long, Tebow finds Murphy over [...]

I’m an American. This has always been my favorite label, but of late even that has seemed to mean less and less. Being called an American used to carry with it a certain pride and esprit de corps that now apparently is dated and passe. How else can one explain the rash of America-haters in [...]
