A professional politician is a professionally dishonorable man. In order to get anywhere near high office he has to make so many compromises and submit to so many humiliations that he becomes indistinguishable from a streetwalker." - H.L. Mencken Now I agree with most of that quote but I fail to...

A Japanese company (Toyota) and an American company (Ford Motors) decided to have a canoe race on the Missouri River. Both teams practiced long and hard to reach their peak performance before the race. On the big day, the Japanese won by a mile. The Americans, very discouraged and depressed, decided...

This picture about sums up the way the Eagles game went against Baltimore this past Sunday. What with our only points coming from a kickoff return by Demps (thank you very much young man), I guess at times the Eagles are feeling like someone is kicking their butts, or at least exposing their butts....

Good Lord, what a pile of crap. SOUTH CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- As if getting a DUI wasn’t enough, a man arrested for driving under the influence got in a lot more trouble at the police station. Police stopped Jose Cruz on Route 60 in South Charleston Monday night for driving with his headlights...
From The Daily Telegraph It would seem that a fellow in Australia thought it would be a good Idea to put 16 Stainless steel washers on his private part. Well that has now made his private part quite public. First the local fire company tried to help him out. I'm not sure if they were not successful because...
Ok, I like golf, both playing and watching. One of the PGA tour players that I've always liked for some reason is John Daly. John has issues, without a doubt, and I hope for his own sake he can get things under control, again. Today I come across an article about John doing a promo for a course in the...

From Fox News and the AP Well they have "re-thunk" their position and it would seem they will not be sending their little letter to the Marine Corps. recruiting office in their fine city. (You can find the background on this circus act, HERE .) So in a marathon session that lasted into early...

Over this past weekend a discussion broke out! (gasp! No, not a .....shhhhh, discussion!) Yep, guilty as charged. One of the headlines on one of the news breaks was that gas prices in our area had dropped either 3 or 5 cents, and I added that I had seen what would hopefully be true that later this year...
Well first there was the vote about a week ago to tell the Marines to leave, and to grant a parking spot and loud speaker permit once per week for Code Pink, in front of the Marine Corps recruiting office. Well in an effort to try new and different things: From the San Francisco Chronicle: Berkeley to...

Perfection is a measure of what was, not a goal or target of what is to be. By looking to the goal, to the future, we lose sight of the past, and perfection is lost. You can not grasp the mist of the fog, but walking through it you can feel it. Congratulations to the NY Giants, and Eli Manning and David...
I saw a lift back station wagon style car today with a bumper sticker on the tailgate (shouldn't that be a "tailgate sticker" then?). It would appear to be the design available from the Riyadh branch of the Bill Clinton Museum. (Special this month, lie under oath, buy a blue dress and get the...
Be like a solid tower whose brave height remains unmoved by all the winds that blow; the man who lets his thoughts be turned aside by one thing or another, will lose sight of his true goal, his mind sapped of its strength. Dante But what of all of those poor unfortunate polling company and news service...
BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Crow calls for limit on loo paper Last year I was wondering what the breakup of Lance and Sheryl was all about, now I'm starting to get an idea. In her latest publically released epiphany, she says that we need to limit ourselves to one square of toilet paper per event. Say...
Well the wife is away, so I loaded the kids into the global warming circus wagon and we headed to one of my favorite places for dinner. This was a Monday evening, and I'm thinking, hey it'll probably be pretty quite, not much going on, quick service on the meal. NOT!! We walk in and it's louder than...
From CNET News Ex CBS Anchor (heavy thing that hangs at the end of a long chain) Dan Rather was the keynote speaker at South by Southwest Interactive. In which he has a lot to say about the state of journalism. I was hopeful that perhaps he had gotten some religion and may have at least come to grips...
From The Hollywood Reporter To me the headline of the story says it all: "Couric: Quality trumps ratings for newscasts" Did she really say that? Has she been known to hang with Darrell Strawberry? Even if what she did WAS quality, (and it isn't), that still would not trump ratings. You could...
From Lancaster online and the New Era Editorial Board What a crock, the Lancaster New Era, (new era like indoor plumbing?) has canceled Ann Coulter's column over her use of the word Faggot this past week. The Lancaster New Era has halted publication of Ann Coulter's syndicated column, following her crude...
Just a quickie. We stopped at a local gas station to fuel up the global warming machine. (It's been way too cold lately so we have been spending every waking moment driving around the block as fast as we can to try to warm things up.) Anyway, I had burned off an entire tank of gas and needed to refuel...
Miami Fort Lauderdale CBS Channel 4 Finally the hurricane damage has been repaired enough to allow the power to be restored to an elderly woman's home. So? Think about it, when was the last hurricane that hit Florida? It would be 2005. But this lady's house wasn't damaged in 2005, it was damaged by hurricane...
While out and about shopping in a local store, I overheard a mother telling her child to sit down in the shopping cart. As she spoke sternly to her kid, she called her by name, Sariah. Sounds like psoriasis without the "sis", but you never know sis may have been at home, or just not born yet. Well this...
Ooops, did I say that out loud?

Well, spring is slowly showing itself here at the manor. The robins have arrived en-force. This fact has been repeatedly pointed out by our pointer in residence. (Actually he's a setter, English Setter, shaken not stirred) Ok Cosmo, we get the point. Our 'hunting dog' likes to stalk the robins, (sparrows...
