Plenty Of Turkey, Pumpkin Pie, And Anxiety To Go Around.
(Originally posted last Thanksgiving, and revised today)
Thanksgiving, 1986, Oakland, California.
My wife (now ex-wife) and I, along with my daughter, mother-in-law, and brother-in-law, sat around the dining room table, enjoying a delicious Thanksgiving dinner, while we quietly waited for som

All the angelic Chrissie Lamar had to do was glance in my general direction, and I'd become a short-circuited, gangly mess of geekness that would have made Napoleon Dynamite look like Warren Beatty.
I shudder to think of what would have happened if she had actually spoken to me, but… Read full post »

I Want To Become A Conservative, But I Might Be Too Stupid
I freely admit that I have the attention span of a gnat, and that I'm already getting bored with Barack Obama. I'm still glad that I voted for him, I suppose, but the thrill of "change that I can believe in," has definitely waned.
Obama has Herculean tasks ahead of… Read full post »
"Death By Stoning" Ritual Increases Local Clothing Sales.
Abas Hussein Abdirahman, 33, was stoned to death in his home town of Merka, Somalia, for the crime of adultery. His pregnant girlfriend's life was spared, until she gives birth to her baby, whereupon she will be murdered in the same fashion.
These kinds of tragic stories are not new,… Read full post »
Do I Tell My Wife That I Might Be A "Little Marxist Puke?"
Joe Flanagan, who I don't know and don't care to know, recently called me a "little Marxist puke," a "POS," and a "pee brain."
Mr. Flanagan obviously doesn't know me.
First of all, "Duck Soup" is the only Groucho Marx movie that I've ever seen, so I'm hardly what you'd… Read full post »
"Tea Baggers," Lose Big On Tuesday
Yesterday, one year after the election of Barack Obama, Republicans won the governorships in Virginia and New Jersey. Many on the right view this is a repudiation of President Obama and his policies, and they may very well be correct.
But Tuesday's elections were also a repudiation of th… Read full post »
It's Time To Compromise On Gay Marriage
Gay marriage, like many important social issues of the day, has true believers on both sides, and they usually aren't very open to compromising their values. Both sides hunker down, nobody gives an inch, and the issue remains unsettled for years or decades to come.
An old saying regarding negot… Read full post »
I'm Onto Something Very Big But I'm Going To Need Your Help
I've come up with a very solid business idea, but I'm going to need a lot of creative help to bring it to fruition. If this idea takes off the way I think it will, we will all stand to make a lot of money.
The concept is painfully simple, so… Read full post »
Ignored Al Qaeda Leader Proposes New Ranking System.
Ayman Al-Sharif just can't catch a break.

Obama To Blame For Runaway Balloon Hoax
Colorado authorities announced today that the Falcon Henne runaway balloon episode was a hoax aimed at landing the family a reality TV show.
However, what the authorities didn't say was that the blame for this hoax rests squarely on the Marxist shoulders of President Barack Obama.

Hi, my name is Roger and sometimes I think that I might drink just a tad bit too much, but it's not really a drinking problem per se, not anything like my dead Uncle Joe's drinking problem for example. Now that guy had a drinking problem. He chugged whisky directly out… Read full post »
Glenn Beck Prays That H1N1 Vaccine Kills Americans.
Basking in the glow of the United States' unsuccessful bid for the 2016 Olympic games, Glenn Beck and his producer met furtively to plot their next opportunity to joyously celebrate another American/Barack Obama failure.

Confessions Of A Hypocrite: I Wanted Bush To Fail.
To those of you that I've chastised for wanting President Obama to fail, I have a confession: I wanted President George W. Bush to fail. I wanted him to fall flat on his smug face. I wanted every idea that he touted to be a miserable failure, even if that failure affected me pers… Read full post »
Hey Juan, Your Work Matters But You Don't, So Quit Whining

In 2004, a few months after my 50th birthday, I was diagnosed with throat cancer, or more specifically, Stage I, squamous cell carcinoma. In the world of cancer I was one of the lucky ones. From the beginning of my diagnosis and treatment, I was told that I had a 95% ch… Read full post »
Letting bin Laden Win. America's Flawed Reaction To 9/11
On the morning of 9/11/2001, I watched TV, stunned, saddened, outraged, and terrified. Whoever did this must die. That's all I could think about. I wanted revenge.
Eight years after the attacks of 9/11, and the subsequent war on terror, it's clear that we, for the most part, … Read full post »
A GOP Star Is Born. Meet Congressman Joe Wilson.

Discussing End-Of-Life Issues Does Not Make You A Marxist.
Charles Dickens walks into a bar and orders a martini. The bartender asks, "olive or twist."
I love a good joke. That one, courtesy of my friend Roger Benford, happens to be a great joke. I like to smile and laugh, and as long as I can do that, I want to be aliv… Read full post »
"It's Worse Than You Feared." Decoding Obama's Speech

Obama's Address Supplants Bush's Message Of Mediocrity

Is The Public's Interest In Astrology Fading Away?
It occured to me this morning that nobody ever talks about astrology.
