Yep, some would say like father, like son.  And it is in one way.  Both involve a woman.  But that is all. What the hell am I talking about?  This is not a diatribe against Patrick.  He has enough problems starting with his father.  No, this is the Capital Police who just queered the case against Cynthia McKinney!  Yep, that "person higher than a patrolman" just proved her point, and probably allowed her to walk. Whether Patrick was drinking or not, is re...

On the heels of Tova7's outstanding article, we now get a dose of religion in politics.  Is it from Jerry Falwell - Nooooo! Is it from Pat Robertson?  Nooooooo! It is from a liberal democrat that has decided that religion is ok in politics - as long as it is the right politics. Apparently John Podesta has decided that Global Warming is no longer a secular thing: "At its core, it's an ethical, moral and religious issue," So now God has decreed.  I wonder if h...

Although this is political, it is not really political.  It is about a politician running in a primary, and it ended in a tie.  The kicker?  Two of his sons, eligible to vote, failed to!  Poor guy!  After this, I am sure he just does not have the heart to run again.  He had the primary in his back pocket!  And his sons failed to vote! I feel for the guy.  Not enough to not laugh at it as I am a father.  But I do feel for him.

After being muzzled for most of the winter, someone in the DNC forgot to make the lease payment on the muzzle, and Howard Dean is again spouting stupidity and hypocrisy.  His latest rant came last Friday (April 28): "There's no question that Rove was the one that leaked the information about the CIA agent's name," Dean told MSNBC's Nora O'Donnell on Friday Well, no doubt except for Fitzgerald, Bush, and the rest of the sane rational Americans who still believe in the US Constitut...

There are several sites out there that show you your property on a satelite map.  And they give you the worth of it.  While we all know that prices have skyrocketed, unless we hire an appraiser (about $300), most of us dont really know what our property is really worth now.  (Thank god Assessments have not kept up!). But there is one.  zillow.com.  It is not accurate.  but my neighbor just put his house on the market, so I compared his asking price to zillow and ...

I am not a golfer.  I have never played the game (Putt Putt does not count).  Watching golf was like watching paint dry to me! Until Tiger Woods came along.  He brought excitement to a dull sport and put a smile on it.  He is a great golfer.  And he says he is a great person because of his father, Earl Woods. Earl Woods died today.  And Tiger mourns the loss of his best friend.  And I, and most of the world, mourn one of the great teachers and fathers of ...

The Chinese have always had a tradition, going back to feudal times, of burning money at a loved one's funeral.  The reasoning is so that they will not go wanting in the hereafter.  But with the new found wealth of a middle class, apparently some Chinese are burning more than just money! Over the past two years, officials have discovered people burning paper offerings of the potency drug Viagra, their mistresses and even “Supergirls” — dolls modelled on winning contestants of the ...

Last year, I ate crow and kept quiet.  Why?  The Upstart Nationals, the newest team in baseball was going gung-ho!  They were looking good and doing well.  And my team?  Sucking pig juice as usual.  And so I took some ribbing from the DC JU crowd.  Although the Nationals did not go anywhere, they did do a very respectable showing for their fans.  In time, they may be a real contender. But not this year! No, with the month of April down, the Mets are ...
