Future Predictions

Ann Richards on How to Be a Good Republican
Tuesday, 27 November 2007 6:19 P GMT-05

Lame Commercial
Saturday, 24 November 2007 1:10 A GMT-05
While in the car this evening, I heard an irritating commercial on the radio. It was for one of these cheap-ass hair cutting places and it featured an announcer talking to a very bad imitation of Homer Simpson. The announcer asked if Bart is still a

Uninspired Rambling
Monday, 19 November 2007 8:33 P GMT-05
Not feeling especially inspired today, so this will just be a bit of rambling. I'm off for four days for Thanksgiving. I don't have anything out of the ordinary planned -- just more time to myself to do the usual thing. Thanksgiving dinner w

Out of Bounds
Wednesday, 14 November 2007 1:03 A GMT-05
When I'm in the car on Sundays, I purposely tune in to religious broadcasts, hoping to hear something that will piss me off and serve as blogging fodder. And what I heard this Sunday really took the cake. The preacher told a story about how his s
