I received my voter guide and was reading it on the train. 90% of the measures were for tax increases to pay for this program or that. And let me tell you that, not including elections, there were THIRTY-TWO separate measures that I have to vote on. Now, I have to speak up here. This…
Have you heard about the restaurant on the moon? – Good food, but no atmosphere. I’m currently reading People’s History of the United States, by Howard Zinn. It’s hard not to be depressed when you read about all of the oppression 95% of the population suffers so that the rich can continue to stay rich.…
Somedays, you eat the bear. Somedays, the bear eats you. What will today be? It’s early, but it doesn’t look good so far. I can smell my own fear. Speaking of smell, check this out.
This is my favorite quote from the debates last night, from President George W. Bush: You know, I think about Missy Johnson. She’s a fantastic lady I met in Charlotte, North Carolina. She and her son Bryan, they came to see me. Her husband PJ got killed. He’d been in Afghanistan, went to Iraq. You…
Last night was the Presidential Debate (part I). I thought Kerry won and Bush looked bad. The question is: Is winning enough? Just ask Al Gore, and he will tell you, “Winning is NOT enough.” For a year, I have been saying that I do not like Kerry based on his democratic debates where he…
Don’t the Kerry people watch West Wing? In the debate negotiation episode, Rob Lowe suggested that they give up “multiple debates” in exchange for having a debate that allows for ACTUAL DEBATING. This thing tommorrow night is silly. You can’t ask the other guy a question? What kind of debate is that? And the TV…
Of course the Jets are going to go 16-0 this season on the way to the Superbowl, BUT the question is who will they beat in the superbowl. Here is the answer: The Dallas Cowboys. Vinny Testaverde and the Tuna (Bill Parcells) will lead the Cowboys to the Superbowl and LOSE to the Jets. Vinny…
The presidential debates are this week. I’d love to be there to watch the practicing. I wish we had the Real World “Presidential Edition”. Meanwhile the campaigns try to low-ball expectations. Here is a quote from the Bush camp: “Senator Kerry has been preparing his whole life for this moment,” Bartlett said. “He was an…
This morning Jared said, “George Bush is President. George Bush is bad. George Bush needs Time-out!” After staring at him for a second, the only thing I could say was, “Yes Jared. He is. And he does. Good boy.”
I think choices can be looked at in two ways. The first is: You make a choice, it is either right or wrong. Wrong = Bad and Upset. Right = Good and Content. The second is: You make a choice. It doesn’t matter if it’s right or wrong. The exciting thing is the opportunity to…
Yesterday, Jared was on the potty. Katie was helping him learn to use the toilet. The problem was, things were a little too HARD for him. It was one of those movements that hurt. So, of course, he started to cry. He asked for a diaper back on and then asked if he could lie…
This morning Jared and Ethan are playing. Ethan pretends to hit Jared. Jared Screams and comes running (crying) to me. “Daddy, Eeeftan hit me. I say Peas Top! You spank his bottom!” He then turns to Ethan and yells, “You in time out!” I said, “Ethan did you hit him?” Ethan says, “No, I just…
Look at this. A woman who has lost her son protested a speech by Laura Bush. Her shirt said, ‘President Bush You Killed My Son’. She was arrested for defiant trespass, put in handcuffs and taken away. What kind of world is this? This is just pitful.
