Sometimes, I have random thoughts pop into my head. No real rhyme or reason, just connections made from unassociated events. Here are two random connections made from a video I saw of a SUV, with a minigun, that they use to protect the President. So here was the first thing I recalled: In 1965, Congress authorized the Secret Service (Public Law 89-186) to protect a former president and his/

So, eh.... How's it going? I know we haven't been posting a lot. Sorry about that. Life, and what not, seems to be getting in the way. Who would have thunk it. Anyhoo, let me give a brief update and then scatter shoot a few things. First, the new job is pretty kick ass. Just like my last job, I can't say for whom I am employed due to corporate images and PR departments and so on. However, I can

As for myself, I've been working with/entertaining clients at work. This usually carries over into the evenings. As for everyone else, I shall speculate!

From Hot Air... Video: Bush erupts against attention-deficit media. Bush has had his shortcomings over the past 8 years. That's putting it lightly. But had he managed his press conferences with this sort of passion and succinctness over the past five years, he might be looking at a 40% approval rating instead of a 30%. Maybe...

I just started reading the news today and two of the top stories disturbed me. The first one: NEW YORK - Three detectives were acquitted Friday in the 50-shot killing of an unarmed groom-to-be on his wedding day, a case that put the NYPD at the center of another dispute involving allegations of excessive firepower.Apparently these guys acted like they had a gun, said they had a gun (one guy

Sue-happy idiots are not exclusive to the US! A Chinese primary school teacher and a beautician have filed a suit against CNN in New York over remarks they say insulted the Chinese people. They want $1.37 billion in compensation - $1.06 per person in China, a Hong Kong newspaper reports. I'm planning on suing Hugo Chavez for offending me and insulting Americans. $1.06 per American seems to be

Rezko Trial Witness Says Rove in on Talks to Remove U.S. Attorney in 2004 If I had the Drudge Siren I'd fire it off. Rove. What isn't that evil bastard involved in? Don't you get the feeling that before it's said and done this Rezko trial will have involved just about everyone? "What do you mean everyone?"

So the Hillinator managed to win the state of "bitter religious, immigration hating, gun loving" people. In doing so she denied the Omama-messiah his coronation once again. Another fine example of experience and graft beating the naivety and enthusiasm of youthful inexperience. Greatness, if for no other reason than it forces me to have a "Obi Wan Kenobi"-like moment of political zen where I

If we don't educate ourselves and our children about the environment, we are doomed to repeat our past mistakes... ... The Doomsday predictions, be it Global Cooling, carbon emissions and Global Warming, Ozone layer, etc continue to be wrong. Then we move the goal-posts and re-predict the same thing. Genius!

Rising gas prices. A housing crunch. Growing food scarcity and price increases. The existence of George Effing Bush. The list of issues plaguing our country could go on and on. But all of that combined pales in comparison to what the Congo is facing: Lynchings in Congo as penis theft panic hits capital. Police in Congo have arrested 13 suspected sorcerers accused of using black magic to

Sportsmanship is a lost commodity, sometimes, in this day and age of "extreme" sports marketing. Everything is supposed to be tough and edgy and "in your face." I have no problem with a little attitude in the games but I think we lose a little bit of the respect for the game and the other team if we don't acknowledge the skill and effort of our opponent, in a respectful manner. Towards that end

MT. LAUREL, N.J. – The Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA), which represents the leading manufacturers of baby bottles in the United States, stands by the scientific research indicating that plastic baby bottles are safe. JPMA supports the rigorous scientific evaluation process of the National Toxicology Program’s (NTP) Center for the Evaluation of Risks to Human Reproduction.

I'd like to say that I had class, but we all know that's not true. Particularly those of us who either a) know me, or b) have read my bio. In any case, rather than having class, I've been occupying myself for the last four months with taking class, I'd say classes, and that would at least sound more grammatically correct, but the truth is that I'm only taking one class at a time.
