Chevy Malibu Cop Hair commercial
Have you seen the ridiculous Chevy Malibu commercial that has Howie Long and a bald actor exchanging money between each other like two bad actors in a cop show? It is the dumbest in a series of commercials with the blockhead Villanova grad. The commercials do a good job of showing how it [...]
Complete digression…
Just thought this was funny. I saw this on FailBlog.
I so wish I could get this family’s history. Is it like a John Irving novel, or more a Tennessee Williams play?
Is that the kid’s dad or step dad? What is the deal with the matching outfits? What is that kid doing today? Where is this [...]
Voting against their own interests
“It’s like a French Revolution in reverse in which the workers come pouring down the street screaming more power to the aristocracy.”
And the ultimate sin in modern politics is appearing to take the voters for granted.
This is a culture war but it is not simply being driven by differences over abortion, or religion, or patriotism. [...]
Remembrance
Considering the slant of this blog and its title, I would be remiss if I didn’t at least mention this.
Dissent is the highest form of patriotism. -Howard Zinn (August 24, 1922 – January 27, 2010)
“What part of 8 million net jobs lost since December 2007 do you still not understand?”
Last night Simon Johnson at The Baseline Scenario put up a fantastic post about the most important economic story in recent history – the reappointment of Ben Bernanke.
The reappointment of Bernanke at the Federal Reserve is a symptom of the disease that is killing our economy, and with it the middle class in this country. [...]
Custody agreements are pointless
An ongoing thing in my life for the past 10 years has been my custody agreements with my ex wife. I have always bent over backwards to get more custody with my kids. My ex wife has always bent over backwards to refute my wishes.
The harbinger came when we had agreed to [...]
Proof of Life… and Death
And when I awoke, I was alone, this bird had flown
So I lit a fire, isn’t it good Norwegian wood. –John Lennon
New Orleans was as expected. Once the Saints won in O.T. everything digressed into complete madness. Prior to that it was just madness. Pandemonium the likes of which I have [...]
Deep thought on Obama
The guy is good. Really good. He is like that boyfriend you are ready to give up on and then convinces you to stick around a little longer.
He only has so much time to convince me again why I elected him.

What I just learned
So here I am watching National Geographic Explorer’s show titled “Iran and the West”
Right around minute 9 they proceed to tell me that the taliban and/or Al Qaeda kill the only Afghani ally that Iran and Russia had that was against the Taliban. Sensing something was up, Putin called Bush to tell him something was [...]
