Before today, I would have said nothing. They already allow gay marriages, and civil unions among triples (soon to be higher I am sure). They have the most liberal drug laws, and open prostitution. Want a hit man? Toke up at the bar! In essence, they are the modern day version of Sodom and Gomorrah. And for the record, the longest friend of the US in the world, bar none. So what could possibly shock these freedom loving, hedonistic, American friends? Try th...
So my son asks! He is quite the connoisseur of ribs and Buffalo wings! But tonight he had some from Outback (Hey! They serve fosters! So they must be Aussie!). And he refuses to finish them! The raccoons will get them. So I told him tongue in cheek, "what do Aussies know about Buffalo wings?". That stumped him. But it got me thinking. Does Australia have Buffalo wings? And if they are like the Outback kind, sorry sir! I know Bu...
Just as Al Gore's stardom is about to hit stage screen and hollywood empty heads, along comes a report that sinks his ship! Yes, that master of impersonating Chicken little with his "An Inconvient Truth" is being usurped by none other than his supposed supporters. For it seems that the death and destruction that he and his ilk have decided to scare us with is not happening. Latest indication? The Ozone is repairing itself. Now some may say that is due to the ban on...
In another example of his firm grasp om politics and the laws of the Commonwealth he is supposed to govern, Ted Matthews "It was all just a faykade" (AKA Tim Kaine) stated that Virginia does not need an official language bill since: "It's been the official language since 1607," he told a caller on the WRVA "Ask the Governor" radio show. The problem is Virginia passed just such a bill in 1996. Isn't it so nice to have a governor so clueless? Maybe he can pass a law outlawing murd...
Howard Dean has decided he is judge, jury and Executioner once again. Affording rights to terrorists like Bin Laden, while denying them to Americans. In his latest Diatribe: President Bush's deputy chief of staff, Karl Rove, "still has his security clearance after leaking intelligence information in a time of war," Dean said. But in the next breath he defends another unindicted 'innocent': "There's a difference between the involvement of Congressman Jefferson in activit...
Yep! I took a ride. Under a lot of protesting and excuses, I was forced to take a tram ride (for the uninitiated, that is a cable car that goes high!). The tram was from the desert floor of Palm Springs to the top of a mountain! Fortunately, my in-laws surrounded me as the tram was lifted 8600 feet into the air and kept me from a panic attack! But when we got to the top, it was awesome! You could see the desert floor (a real desert), yet you were in an Alpine val...
"Man Critical After Losing Control of Scooter"--headline, News Journal (Wilmington, Del.), May 22 I would be more than critical. I would be cussing! "Firm Recalls Salads in Utah"--headline, Deseret News (Salt Lake City), May 23 Now wait a minute. I know caffeine is out for Mormons, but when did they ban salads? "Panel: Legislators Shouldn't Work Drunk"--headline, Associated Press, May 22 They dont work sober either. "Hicks Could Factor Big in Alabama Primary...

There has been a lot of talk lately about illegal immigration (sometimes mis-labeled just immigration), and how things are so bad in Mexico (by far the source of most of the illegal immigration, but not all of it). But for all the talk of doom and gloom, Mexico is doing some things right. They are shooting lawyers. Just kidding. But they do seem to have a dearth of them, which is good for business and in connection good for us. Why? I recently chipped a tooth. No bi...
Nifong, the racist DA in Durham, is trying to delay the trial of the Duke Lacrosse players for a year. One must ask why. But if one must ask, one does not understand when politics interferes with justice. The case is folding faster than a chaise lounge on steroids. As new evidence is leaked out dribble by dribble, it is clear that there is no case. No crime? Only 4 people know that for sure. But there is definitely no case. And so Nifong is delaying t...
"Congressman Caught on Tape, Documents Say"--headline, Associated Press, May 22 That fly tape catches everyone! "FBI Digs Michigan Field for Hoffa Remains"--headline, United Press International, May 18 I dig rock and roll, but I am not looking for hoffa in the latest Bob Dylan lyrics. "Jordan Plays Hardball With Hamas"--headline, Associated Press, May 19 I thought he had retired from baseball? "Strikes by Indian Doctors Enter Day 6; Poor Suffer Worst"--headline, Associa...

Ever seen the commercial where the vegged out guy is sitting in front of the TV, and his non-vegged out friends are trying to get him involved? I watch so little commercial TV, that when there is a clever one I do catch (I did see the Superbowl and those - even the lame ones) one, I remember it. Truth be told, I dont remember the product they are selling (in this case I think it was potato chips, but dont quote me). Well, sad to say as I have gotten older, and my brain more fuller...
To start off with, no, my Spanish is lousier than lousy so I would be nailed in a heartbeat. But many people are! Who? You ask. Why? You ask? How? You ask. OK, so maybe some of you are not asking those questions and just thought what a weird title for a blog. But the Who is the rest of Latin America (why Latin? can anyone tell me? French and Italian are Latin based languages. Why is Spanish singled out for that designation?). The Why is because ...
You are naive if you are worried about the government! They got more problems than your corns! The simple truth is that your life is already an open book! And the ID thieves have got you dead to rights. The only reason you have not been hijacked is that you are not interesting enoigh yet. Worry about the fricking government? After I am dead maybe! The sad fact that so many area 51 nuts fail to realize is that there is TOO much information for anyone to give...
