I'm catching up on my Republican debates and man, if I wake up one day and the biggest story in the news is that Mitt Romney and Rick Perry were caught in a knock-down drag-out fistfight, I would not be surprised. I'd throw Rick Santorum in there, but he seems like he has a glass jaw, so one punch and he'd be out. I always enjoy a good debate, and ( Read more... )

Sorry True Blood recap, you're gonna have to wait, I've got much more important things to complain talk about!

Sports (Don't worry, it's short) I don't care much about football, but good grief, Tony Romo is the worst! The only thing worse than a terrible quarterback is a terrible quarter back playing for your team. 1-7 in his last 8 starts? Romo, ( Read more... )

I was just sitting here watching "Cobwebs and Strange" in commemoration of what would have been the 65th birthday of my favorite rock star, when I felt something weird and heard a strange rattling sound. It was like really high wind shaking trees, only, my window is open, and I didn't see trees blowing. Still, my bed was wobbling a bit and ( Read more... )

So, today I went to see Joe Biden (again) downtown at Price Bryan Performance Place, AKA "that place behind the library and between the Y and the Cultural Center. You know, the place where they do free movies in the summer." This is the second time Joe has been here in less than six weeks, and unlike last time, this time I was prepared. (Meaning, I ( Read more... )

Summary: After much going back-and-forth on whether or not to go, I have returned from the Biden (and that other guy) rally! I went to Wal-Mart, bought a sweet new camera (it makes movies too!), walked too far, hustled through the crowd, stood way back, complained about crying babies, saw not much of anything, got way too hot, clapped for Joe, left ( Read more... )

You know that whole "I need an Obama sign" thing I was all on about last night? Yeah, thats' a wrap ( Read more... )

I'd say "That's right, another Carlin post!" but since I am late to the party, My post will be at the top, so instead "Look! A George Carlin post!" Here are two of my all-time favorite Carlin moments. One the bit that defines my entire conception of "my house", "your house" and generally "buildings as a whole." (Also "my bag", "pockets" and " ( Read more... )

Tomorrow we get to vote in a primary that actually counts. [Schedule: Wake up. Slack off. Walk two blocks. Avoid people handing out fliers. Point out to the poll worker that I am the Person With My Name that lives here and not wherever the other one lives. Vote. Walk home. Slack off. Walk half a block. Catch the bus. Ride for 1:20. Go to work. Come ( Read more... )

So, I tuned into Colbert last night to see what was going on. Work has been cutting into my TV time (I missed my favorite Survivor getting voted off, the return of The Office and all but one episode of New Amsterdam. Plus, I hear there have been some really good episodes of SVU lately. Yeah, I have missed all of that.) and I did not want to miss ( Read more... )

I went into this whole "voting for President in '08" thing with a candidate in mind. I watch enough political-type television to know who I like, who makes sense and who I will not vote for under any circumstances. I had a candidate and was ready to go. Of course the elections were over a year away, meaning anything could happen, but I had my guy ( Read more... )
