Stop the madness, Palin

September 29, 2008

When you fall off the moose, the best thing to do it get right back on? NO!!! You lie there and play dead. Please, Palin, play dead….
Pizza, cheesesteak.. what’s the difference in Philadelphia. Gotcha, voters! Hollering a question across an area? He was right there in front of her, bending into her ear.

Where’s Phil?

September 28, 2008

Where is Phil Defranco on the debates? We need a good balance of common sense against all this spin on the “real tv.”

Moosepoop.. There, I said it!

September 27, 2008

McCain says “horseshit” during the debates? I think what he really meant to say was “Moosepoop!”

You can reach more people with a blog than a bullhorn

September 27, 2008

Last night, I met Kealan on http://election.twitter.com. We have not spoken, I know nothing about her, but she said something during the debates that I thought was interesting and I wanted to be a part of the next really sage thing she says, whenever that is. So, I’m following her on Twitter.
I saw she tweeted [...]

Timing is everything

September 25, 2008

Yesterday, John McCain suspended his campaign, saying he was racing off to Washington shortly after his appearance at the Clinton Global Initiative at 8:45am to fix the financial crisis in America in a 4:00pm meeting with the president, House and Senate leaders and Obama at the White House.
At 2:36pm, the senators all announced they had [...]

Seriously, Mr. President…

September 25, 2008

Yesterday, I got a letter from Montgomery County in Ohio that my home has been appraised for an additional $10,000 over last year. Seriously???
From Bush’s speech last night:
I also understand the frustration of responsible Americans who pay their mortgages on time, file their tax returns every April 15th, and are reluctant to pay the [...]

Michael Douglas asked about his views on the Wall Street mess.

September 24, 2008

Reporters are asking Michael Douglas about Wall Street because he played a character in the 1987 movie “Wall Street?” What’s next, asking Big Bird to comment on bird flu?? Exactly what is wrong with modern journalists… they can’t tell fact from fiction anymore.

Obama owns a bicycle!

September 24, 2008

I had no idea that Obama owned a bicycle! My latest fan, Rebecca from www.1world2wheels.org is probably hoping it is a Trek

Google phone with T-Mobile.. Seriously??

September 24, 2008

Google unveiled the G1 phone today. Ok, that is good, but what is with these top tier companies like Apple and Google partnering up with crappy service providers like AT&T and T-Mobile?
The devices may be cool, but if there is no network attached to them or it takes minutes to send and read simple [...]

Countries are not corporations so quit trying to run them like they are

September 24, 2008

Carly Fiorina’s comments about neither candidate being able to run a corporation is causing a bunch of flap. We want our elected officials to understand how to balance a checkbook, but I’m not so sure we want them to be able to run a corporation.
A corporation’s only goal is to make profit. It is a [...]

National City Bank staffed with crooks

September 21, 2008

I have not been able to get decent Internet all week, so on-line banking has been tough. Most of the National City Bank branches were closed because they did not have power. The online banking has been sporadically “malfunctioning” with the bill pay in addition to my Internet woes.
As a result, I now have [...]

I’d rather be certain than right… PUCO storms again

September 21, 2008

A couple of years ago, John Stewart of The Daily Show asked one of his guests if Pres. George Bush would “rather be certain than right.” (RBCTR) I wish I could remember the guest, the show, the context, but I do remember the question and apply it to any politician, elected official, boss-man that uses [...]

How Henry Ford destroyed humanity

September 20, 2008

Most people would argue that the assembly line has done more for the American economy than any other invention or idea. While it may have stoked the economy and got us working more efficiently, it is perhaps the single most mis-applied business idea to date that has destroyed any quality of experience. Let me explain.
Last [...]

Big dogs go to war

September 19, 2008

This is disturbing on a lot of levels, but mostly because it buzzes around like a giant fly instead of growling and barking like a dog.

My God can beat up your God

September 16, 2008

More wars have been waged in the name of God than any other reason. Oil and gold are a very distant second. For religious fanatics on both sides, there is no greater cause than God.
Do the Republicans EVER read history? We did this before during the Crusades. How did that all fare? This is very, [...]
