Tonight I was listening to all of the talking heads on network news talking to all of the talking heads in Washington D. C. and I had a brilliant idea.  What if we put the PTA in charge of national healthcare?  We find the most aggressive and outspoken soccer/… Read full post »

I must live in one of the most homeo-ethnic (is that a word?) areas in the United States:  Southwest Missouri.  The current statistics on our town show us to be 96% white, 0% African American, 2% Hispanic, and 2% Mixed Race.  The county of 116,000 is 94% White, 2% African American,/… Read full post »

This weekend marks not only 4^th of July, but also the last day of little league.  I know, I know … there’s nothing more American than baseball and the 4^th of July, and for me, celebrating them on the same day is like my two favorite things at once,/… Read full post »

If you watch Bravo at all, you’ve seen the ads for Kathy Griffin’s new special, “She’ll Cut a Bitch”.  In the trailer, she says, “Don’t turn on me gays, but I just don’t get those Jonas Brothers” to the sound of riotous laughter.  I laug/… Read full post »

Saturday:

The soccer socks that were washed inside out still have grass on them.

We can only find three of the four needed shin gaurds.
