It’s time for a little education, folks. Lots of folks out there and, indeed, even some of you seem to want to toss around the term “Neo-conservative” with little clue what one is. Being a neocon has become a political taboo, and being called one usually results in firm denials and defensiveness. Why? Because those [...]

I’m not sure how long this will last but, it turns out that my good friend Matt has pulled off an amazing feat.

I really like Strongbad Emails and now that they no longer come out with new ones every week, I tend to wait to check the site until Fark tells me that there’s a new SB Email. Then I read through the threads associtated with the SB Email link (like this one) to make sure I [...]

Browsing around over at LGF and noticed an interesting article (one of many) that really caught my eye. Why, you ask, did this one grab my attention? I saw something funny. Have a look at these two pictures. It’s the same boy in both, the first one taken shortly before the second: Notice anything funny? Well, I’m sure [...]

Anyone still foolish enough to believe a word that Michael Moore says should do us all a favor and sterilize themselves. Suicide would also be acceptable. Nevertheless when I saw this story at Wizbang I knew that I had to write about it. Why? Moore is misrepresenting The Pantagraph, my hometown paper back in Illinois (well, [...]

“Rain on your wedding day? That’s not ironic; that’s just crappy!” -Somebody on VH1’s “I Love the 90’s” talking about Alanis Morissette Today during my lunch break (ok, the word break would imply that I do much of anything during the part of the day when I’m not eating, so I will just call it [...]

No, really… I’m not slacking… I have lots of really great stuff to post… I’m just saving it for tomorrow when the blogging will commence here for the Pediatric AIDS foundation. 24 hours of blogging will require stamina, an iron will, and (most of all) lots of material.
