Thought Obama’s speech was pretty good. Think he nailed it. However, after years of listening to President Doofus, Al Gore and John Kerry – my bar might be a bit low… I can’t tell anything about McCain’s pick for VP – but it is a really short walk between gutsy and desperate. Geraldine Ferraro anyone? [...]
no – not Obama… I finally found a health club! And it has all my favorite machines! And it didn’t cost over $1000 per year (payable in full up front, thank you)!! It’s in a Holiday Inn nearby. I haven’t lifted a weight or been on a bike in almost seven months. Now I can [...]
In honor of the free-wheeling, gaudy circus about to descend on Denver (and no, I don’t mean Madonna’s “Sticky Sweet” Tour – though you would be forgiven for thinking that…), I would like to introduce you to the newest candidate on the national stage – Thomas Stiles Stevens. It seems young Mr. Stevens is running [...]
My favorite lyrics ever to a three and a half minute song. By Chris Brady and the band Pond. yellowed brown stained fingertips caused by too many filterless, she crushes the ashy end lifts the lid and drops it down in an urn she carries around – her father resides her heavy foot is on [...]
I’m so glad Shawn Johnson finally won a gold medal. What a drag it would have been to get so close – do so well – and only come away with silver. … of course, I only learned who she was two days ago. I haven’t been paying much attention to the Olympics. I know [...]
I was watching an interview this morning with one of Bush’s former douchebag appointments, John Bolton. The interview was on Al Jazeera, no less. Bolton was our ambassador to the U.N. for a mercifully brief period of time. He had the great brain damage to say that complaining about the US actions in Iraq is [...]
Just cleaning up the past a bit… Peter Frampton – “Frampton Comes Alive!” Sooo bored with it a month or two after it came out but it’s really not that bad. Nirvana – “MTV Unplugged” Specially for Where Did You Sleep Last Night? Kaiser Chiefs – “Yours Truly, Angry Mob” Sweet – “Desolation Boulevard” Keep [...]
There is this great store in Jersey called The Wine Library. It is two stories of various liquors but mainly wines (real wine – not the stuff I make). Wines from every region and made with every kind of grape. And the guy who runs it – Gary Vaynerchuk – has these video blogs on [...]
I want to vote now. No, I mean right NOW! So Obama is a rock star…. in Germany. (What’s next – big in Japan?) McCain is in a war of Words… with Paris Hilton and her Mom. (And Nicole Ritchie has stopped eating again.) Please make it stop. Imagine what we can descend to in [...]
Per another website, I learned that today – August 2 – is the 18th anniversary of the invasion of Kuwait. Some of the other ex-pats at work and I walk through the parking lot after lunch and, if the day was somewhat dusty, they would joke about feeling the uranium in the air. I laughed [...]
