Tonight, we wittness the Web 2.0-ification of the Presidential debates. My expectations are lower than David Beckam making soccer more popular in America than hockey. You have to think CNN producers have been laughing themselves silly over how they could set up every candidate with the weirdest, most bizzare questions allowed on basic cable. Mixed […]
The most obnoxious story of the day has to be Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm dropping charges against a number of anti-war protesters who smashed the windows and threw smoke bombs at an Army recruitment office. Most of them didn’t even get a slap on the wrist.
None of that peaceful “we support the troops […]

Is the neck tie losing its panache? It seems that way. You see fewer and fewer men wearing them when appearing as guests on television. Unless you’re a lawyer or banker you probably don’t wear them regularly to work. My father only wears one when he goes to church, a wedding, a funeral, or a […]

Boy, the AP has some brilliant headline writers. They state the obvious so obviously:
“Analysis: GOP Senators Nervous About War”
From glancing at the Senate the last few weeks you’d see Republicans are on edge. Ironically Sen. Harry Reid’s all-nighter gave the wobblers a little spine.
“Giuliani’s Mayoral Record Is Complicated”

Predictions vary between seeing the situation in Iraq deteriorating into a regional cataclysm and, as one retired Marine […]
Tommy Thompson is trying anything to get even a nibble of attention from media. It hasn’t worked. I know this because I only found this press release from his campaign that was sent out Monday.
In the midst of Michael Moore’s flap (P.R. stunt) with CNN he discounted the medical statistics of Dr. Paul Keckley, the […]
