So Joe the Plumber has turned to bite John McCain’s hand, saying that he was disgusted by the things that went on in the campaign bus. (I assume he’s talking about political decisions made there, not binge drinking and hookers.) Y’see, Joe has a book coming out, and he’s trying to gin up interest in [...]

If you watch the video linked below you may think I don’t like you. It isn’t true. Lena exposed me to this last night and I’m looking to surround myself with good friends in my sudden moment of misery. Click Me All Night Long!   So W. Bush got a pair of shoes pitched at [...]

Satan’s Angel, Bettie Page died at age 85 last Thursday. While I will personally be forever grateful to her for both her Playboy photos and introducing me to Jennifer Connelly, her death is a bittersweet moment that draws a painful life to a close. Happy as a pinup, Bettie later found god and became a [...]

Struggling to fit as much stupid as possible into their remaining few days at the White House, the Bush team sent out invitations to their (reportedly) first ever Hanukkah reception… with a picture of a clydesdale hauling a fresh Christmas tree up to the White House doors. (There are also Christmas wreaths in all the windows [...]

Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich. (laughter) Seriously, what the hell? This guy is already under investigation for corruption, and he decides to sell a senate seat to the highest bidder. He should lose his job just for being stupid! The whole thing is absurd. Everyone knows that our elected officials are chosen for their capability and strength [...]

All I can hear right now is Lena watching TV out in the living room. It’s an Oprah episode about people with hard-core OCD. Germ and dirt-phobes. One guy has to go out in the back yard to use the bathroom because he can’t bear to touch a toilet. He obsessively cleans his house to [...]

So Knut the polar bear is a year old now. He’s 250 pounds and his handler has been ordered to keep away from him to avoid any accidents. Zoos across Europe are lining up to have the bear transferred to them… I suppose in fifty years “Son of Knut” signs will be as ubiquitous in [...]

So every year around this time we have a huge flare-up of family drama. Sister and I are stressed, Mom is crying, and Wife is angry. But a couple of years ago Lena discovered a solution to all of that. We open our presents a week into December and ignore (almost) everyone else. We get [...]

So Lena and I went to Chili’s last night. I wasn’t super-hungry, but I was sure thirsty, and Chili’s does 2-4-1 draft beer pretty late. I got carded, and didn’t have my license on me. As was appropriate, they refused me the beer, and we left, looking for another, less well policed, restaurant. The point here is [...]

Hey, now that it’s so much easier for me to do this, I thought I’d take the time to plug a pal of mine over at 1977, the Comic. It’s not fantasy/gamer stuff at all, but if you remember the seventies, wish you remember the seventies, or enjoyed That 70s Show, you’ll probably get the groove.
