In 2003, The Foo Fighters released their album One by One, which included the cut “Times Like These.” A solo acoustic version of the song, performed by Dave Grohl, was released some time later, and it is my pick for Song of the Decade.

This video of Montana senator Max Baucus has made the rounds on the internet tubes over the past few days. I watched a few minutes of it and couldn’t help but be reminded of Ron White’s hilarious “Drunk In Public” routine … Not that Ol’ Tater doesn’t have his defenders. The least imaginative excuse that [...]

Following an earlier Latin theme here, it simply states, “Physician, heal thyself!” These words are contained in the following video, an excerpt from the end of the movie “State of the Union.” It’s an excellent summation of how shallow the electorate and the elected are, and a cautionary tale to the current office holders in [...]

Strike Two for Algore …. Or, maybe it was just a typo. “2350″ and “2035″ are separated by just a keystroke.
