On Sunday night the internet connection that I had been borrowing for the last few weeks mysteriously disappeared. It reappeared, encrypted, several minutes later. I didn’t care much for this turn of events, to be honest. Now, when I lived in Tuscaloosa, I had very few problems with Comcast. When I moved to Indiana things were [...]
Yesterday was a crazy, crazy day. So crazy. I drove over to Athens for lunch and some tailgating before driving back to Atlanta to watch the game. Scout wouldn’t have done well for the 14 or 15 hours he’d have been alone had I stayed. Speaking of Scout, his old collar (now 2+ years old) broke [...]

The “Bush’s Failed Economic Policies” is incredibly pervasive. Of course, blaming the president for the economy is a knee-jerk, if intellectually lazy, thing to do but you can’t say that the practice is not encouraged by presidential candidate’s promises to “fix” the economy. Nevertheless, it’s interesting that Bush is taking so much heat for the [...]
Sometimes I like to quote myself. Today is one of those times. The Ethics of Running Up The Score: If you’re a Division I college program or an NFL team, there is no crying about getting killed. You don’t like it? Put a defense on the field that can stop them, or YOU [...]
