The One About Stats

This Just In: More than 90% of the top 77% of voters who have considered 54% of the issues in this election find that 30% of their mental capacity is confused by as much as 88% of the media coverage. We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming which may or may not be … Read more

The One About Election Day

Is it me or does anyone else think that the election of our government has slipped from our fingers and into the hands of lawyers and courts? Watching the coverage on CNN and MSNBC you’d think that voters are little more than a nusiance and the real vote will happen once the election results are … Read more

The One Where I Stopped Posting

This past weekend, the Pittsburgh Steelers ended the New England Patriots consecutive win streak. The cliche that claims that all good things must end is obviously true… especially if you noticed that my consecutive post streak (two weeks and counting) came to an end this past weekend. To my faithful readers, I can only claim … Read more

The One About The Bushbahs

I had a dream a few nights ago. One in which the country was saved from another four years of really poor management. Unfortunately, they really bad managers were given new jobs. Jobs in which they were fundamentally responsible for the education of our nation’s youth. They created a television show that subliminally changed a … Read more

The One That Makes Me Ill

The fact that Ralph Nader is still running for President of the free world scares me. Is there any doubt that he has the biggest ego on the face of the planet? The way I figure it, Nader is being motivated by one of two different things. The first, is as I stated above… Ego. … Read more

The One Where Tourists Speak

Location: Starbucks Two tourists, married I think. The woman looks like she is New Jersey 50 which is to say that she must be 40 or so, but hard living, cigarettes and a bad attitude have taken their toll. She is wearing a BUSH/CHENEY t-shirt. The man is in shorts, a HUGE hawaiian shirt, is … Read more

The One About Crime & Punishment

I think that the US justice system is pretty flawed. In fact, it really shouldn’t be called the justice department at all, because let’s face facts… few people really get what they deserve. One of the things that bothers me most is the sheer cost of incarceration. If we take into account the total population … Read more

The One About The Life of Pi

I read The Life of Pi early this summer and wanted to comment on it, but found that I really couldn’t form any thoughts worthy of putting down on here. An earlier post, The One Where I Speak of God, touches upon some of what I learned from the book as well as some of … Read more

The One About Sex and the City

I know many people still watch this show despite that the show is now only available on syndicated TV. I know many women who like to believe their lives mirror that of the characters on this show. I also know that this show is one of the most ridiculous shows on TV. I had a … Read more

The One About Papillon

Ever watched this particular film? If you haven’t and you claim to be a movie fan, you’re missing out. I’d rank this film in the top three all-time. Papillon is the true story of Henri Charriere, a petty criminal who was sent to the worst prisons France had to offer in the early 1900s. It … Read more
