Why do we keep eating?

January 17, 2009

Why do we eat? The simple answer would be that if we did not eat, we would die. But that is not entirely true. Science can provide us with a pill we can take that would provide exactly the nutrition we need — no more, no less — to keep our bodies healthy. Yet, we [...]

Things I found funny today

December 5, 2008

Two scenes in Katy Perry’s Hot & Cold music video struck me as funny today.

Come on, a rock n’ rolling priest at a wedding? That’s just God’s sense of humor.

A guy in a hot dog suit getting run over by a guy running away from his angry bride to be. Yeah, that has funny written [...]

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?

Truemors was being goofy.

November 17, 2008

So here are my comments to 
Palin Calls Bloggers “Kids in Pajamas…in Their Parents’ Home”
Here is the quote from the Fox News site:
–QUOTE–
VAN SUSTEREN: Is there anything else that has been raised or said about you in the media, either during the convention — I mean, during the campaign or since the campaign ended, that you [...]

No party for old men

November 7, 2008

It is sad what the Democrats are doing to Joe Lieberman. The only “sin” Sen. Lieberman committed was having opinions that did not quite align themselves with the new leadership. 
I looked up the Senator Oath of Office. It reads:

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United [...]

We didn’t start the fire either

October 13, 2008

A couple weeks ago, Ryan Healy wrote a blog post about how Baby Boomers screwed up the world and how GenY is going to “fix” it. After turning it over in my 40+ brain a bit (Boomers like to think things through before yapping off; part of our charm) here are some observations about the [...]

Good bye, dear friend

October 7, 2008

Today, I said goodbye to a very dear friend. He was only 8 years old and walked with me everywhere. I spent a long time howling and crying until there were just no more tears and all that was left was an empty hole that started at the base of my throat and goes all [...]

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, [...]

Can you own a dog?

June 14, 2008

I grew up in the great state of Minnesota. All of my views of the world, especially the ones about gender relationships, power balance, worth, etc. were shaped by my litter and the other dogs around me. For those of you not quite up on your Minnesota demographics and political history, the state was settled [...]

Averaging averages

May 19, 2008

Spend a weekend watching the news on TV. I did and here is what I conclude.

News anchors are really, really stupid and shallow people.
No news we like means we’ll just make up news
There can only be 3-5 news stories on TV at any one time, REGARDLESS of how many news channels you have in your [...]

My buddy Kevin

May 9, 2008

This is Kevin. He is there every morning as we go through the Englewood Tim Horton’s drive-through window. He knows who I am, he knows I like two honey-dipped Tim Bits with my decaf coffee and he is always cheerful. I don’t know if he likes his job, what he does on his day off [...]

Clinging to my walks

April 18, 2008

I recently had the opportunity to take a ride through Red State America along Hwy 35 through southern Ohio, West Virginia and onto Interstate 64. The ride was a bit odd as I emerged from Dayton, the rich, white, mall-laden Beavercreek into the hills, holler and trailer-park homes that lined 35 for miles upon miles.
I [...]

What I think about the writers’ strike

November 27, 2007

I was going to stay silent on this, but one too many people used the term “their fair share” and that just sent me over the edge.
Writers should get compensated for their skills. God knows, there are very few talented, MARKETABLE writers out there who can actually deliver a product within specification and deadline. [...]

Proof of the existence of God

December 16, 2005

Ok, I now have proof of the existence of God.. and the answer to all my prayers is an emphatic “hell, no!”
I was walking our favorite puppy along the snow covered streets of Katy Lane when I passed underneath a power line, packed with snow. A big clump came down on my head and [...]
