What the heck are you trying to SELL me?

November 30, 2008

From the “What the Heck are You Trying to Sell Me” department. It took a whole tank of gas for me to wade through this pump topper. Honestly, how long has Kroger been at the retail game?

Stuff lost in translation

November 28, 2008

I read this story and was horrified. Not at the fact that 200 shoppers would break down a WalMart door and stampede a man to his death, but by two statements made by Walmart.

Wal-Mart representative Dan Fogleman called the incident a “tragic situation” and said the victim came from a temporary agency and was doing [...]

How to shape and light a Christmas tree

November 28, 2008

I have “decorated” a lot of pine trees on my walks, so it is probably safe to say I’m as close to an expert as you will ever find on shaping and lighting a Christmas tree. Almost all of the Christmas trees I have seen since Halloween in the stores are dreadfully shaped and badly [...]

Happy Eating Day

November 27, 2008

Happy Eating Day, everyone! Oh, I know, our American friends are celebrating Thanksgiving but let’s call the holiday what it really is.
A few years ago, a friend of mine spent August through January in Europe and called me on Thanksgiving, very much depressed they didn’t celebrate Thanksgiving. Despite his best efforts, he could not convince these Europeans [...]

Disappearing males?

November 25, 2008

This is an interesting video and it appears as if males are disappearing. The video concludes that that is is becasue of the chemicals we’re producing, but as a male of the canine species, I’d like to posit another theory:
Mommybloggers
Ok, not specifically mommybloggers, but everything they represent. The mommies have all bonded into this huge [...]

Artificial time dividers

November 24, 2008

Today, I reached 499 tweets on my Twitter account and wanted my 500th tweet to be something special. It was and it wasn’t, as it was co-opted by Alltop to blast out a new feed page using TwitterFeed.com. That’s ok; Guy and Neenz are good folk and I don’t mind.
Got me thinking about all sorts [...]

Warm humanity in technology

November 21, 2008

About a year ago, I found The Browns on Amazon.com in a random search prompted by the memory of “I heard the bluebird sing” from my puppyhood. I bought the album and couldn’t wait to play it.
Well, I should have because the sound that came out of my speaker was crystal clear and remastered from [...]

A real economic bail-out plan

November 18, 2008

I’ve been watching and listening to all this bail-out talk over the past couple months and have come to a singular conclusion, regardless of which industry we’re talking about. All the bail-out money is attempting to do is to preserve a status quo and not really fix any underlying cause of any of this. Like [...]

Never confuse ‘clear thought’ with crap

November 16, 2008

Last Saturday, Mark Lilla, a professor of humanities at Columbia University, wrote an article in the WSJ titled The Perils of ‘Populist Chic’, What the rise of Sarah Palin and populism means for the conservative intellectual tradition. It was well-thought out and objectively argued. In short, it explains why presidential candidates need to go bowling and drinking [...]
