About Me

I like fried chicken. I think monkeys are funny, especially when they are wearing some sort of formal wear. I think pants are unnecessary and occaisionally oppressive. Sometimes I yell at the players on Wheel of Fortune, but mostly just when they solve the puzzle too soon. I think driving the speed limit (or near it) is a waste of time. I like electronic stuff that I have no practical use for whatsoever. I can save the world. I am a real smart ass sometimes (no, seriously). I have a strange obsession with frisbees. I have grand ambitions. I don't like wet socks. I never worry. I think it's funny when people run into things, especially glass things so you can see their facial expressions upon impact. Buffalo wings are delicious. Cats make me sneeze. Conservative talk radio is completely useless. I drink a lot of water. I once tried to eat a whole box of Krispy Kremes in one sitting and failed miserably. I like the Cartoon Network. Rollercoasters are fun. I do not fear change. I. Am. Awesome.

Jon Stewart now has a short little segment that he runs on the "Daily Show" right before they cut to commercial called something like "Slow News Day." Basically he reviews the unadulterated fluff that...

Mock the Vote, baby!!

About two centuries ago, a bunch of uppity British colonists decided that they didn't want a powerful, far-off, self-serving entity governing their rights, their economy and their lives. Those ...

The Douchebaggery of Polarization

A while back I took Geraldo Riviera to task about his self-importance and douchbagocity after the comments he made about Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert on conservative bobblehead Bill O'Reilly's show...

Quarterly Report

I have to say that I feel better about the Colts than I ever have. Even though their play has varied from below average to great, they've taken it to another notch in the toughness department. Back in...

America's Sport Returns

That's right, the NFL is back. All the "experts" have made their picks, and now it's my turn to prove that I know more than them (or prove why I'm not a sports writer). Without any further ado, here ...

Try not to eat the entire thing

So you're telling me that liquids that are comprised almost entirely of high fructose corn syrup and water are making people fat? Ya think? Here's the deal: high fructose corn syrup, a vile nectar con...

At least I'm innovative . . . .

Okay, I know that I'm supposed to be the funny guy. I'm supposed to keep the mood light and fun. But today is not the day for that. Today, I'd like to address a serious issue. An issue that affects ev...

Slow Blog Day - Issue 1

View from 2 miles up

We've all heard the saying, "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas." It's kind of ridiculous really. It's as though we as rational individuals need an excuse and a drive or flight to another city in o...
