Over on my “short post” blog today I linked a story about the gift President Obama gave to British Prime Minister Gordon Brown–25 of the awesomest DVDs this country has to offer. I mean, how cool is that? I wanted that for Christmas, but I don’t have any friends or relatives ...

$75 Billion doesn’t sound like as much money now as it did back in September of last year. That’s when hundreds of billions first started being thrown out like beads at a Mardi Gras parade. Now all you have to do is prove that you have an ample level of moral fiscal depravity and the guy...

And now the AP wants compensation from the street artist, Shepard Fairey, who created the iconic poster from their photo. The article calls this look “pensive”. Hmm.  I guess that’s one possibility.  Another possibility is that he’s sort of staring into space a little confu...

That’s what Blue Collar Muse is asking.  Here’s my take.. If bailouts are bad, they are bad. If people think they are good, they are ok still bad. But here’s the thing….if Tennessee (or any other state) were to refuse the bailout money, does that mean those dollars wouldn...

Lots of other people. In fact, I think I should see everybody but you and you should see everybody  but me. I’m proposing a mass Facebook “We Don’t Have To Be Friends” group. It’s like Whopper Sacrifice, but for keeps this time. I’m going to fix the social networ...

What’s “my” way?  The fat and lazy way. My buddy “Dirty Matt”  is training for a half iron distance triathlon in May and was asking me for some advice. Why would he ask me instead of his other friend who does full iron distance races on a whim? Because I’m going...

But just barely. Last year’s “year-end” post didn’t get written until we were literally hours into 2008. I’m on the ball this year though. Lots of changes for me this year!  One big event is that I changed jobs.  More accurately, I quit my job and got another one late...
