Ben Franklin Lives in Richmond, VA
Look who I ran into at a bar in Richmond, VA this weekend: Hey can I get your picture? Why do you want my picture? Well I just really enjoyed our conversation and I just want to take a picture to remember it by. It’s because I look like Benjamin Franklin isn’t it? ……Yes
Obama’s Top 5 Failures
I don’t blame Obama for everything. We all have problems in our lives that he can’t do anything about. Have you ever washed your hair with the same shampoo for a month and then realized that it was conditioner? Yeah, me neither. That being said, he has made a lot of mistakes as President, and [...]
The Daily Fix – 2/8/12
California Court Rules against Prop 8 California judges ruled Proposition 8 unconstitutional, which leaves open the VERY SCARY possibility that consensual adult couples will try to legally enter into stable, long term, monogamous partnerships. The ironic part about Kim and Kris’ 72-day “probably the greatest pro-gay marriage argument ever” wedding was that after the divorce Kim [...]
The Donald Trump Endorsement – Does it Matter?
After spending some time on Twitter, I realized the “Twitterverse” is a lot like the little galaxy in “Men In Black”. All of the people living inside of it think the things they say and do are very important, but when you take a step back you realize none of it really matters. Then I [...]
Your Daily Fix – 2/3/12
CNN story on Obama’s comments at a prayer breakfast here The big eye opener is the following passage: The Bible is silent on whether capital gains should be taxes at 15% of a higher rate. Ditto for other types of investment income. Payroll tax holidays are not mentioned. This leads me to believe Obama is [...]
A Semi-Serious Scrutiny of Social Security
Social Security is a lot like Tim Tebow – people just won’t stop talking about either one of them. Everywhere I go I hear conversations resembling the following: We must maintain a safety net for our seniors! I hate how everyone in our country expects a handout! The test of a society is how they [...]
Governor Brewer Presents – “The Hunger Games”
A lot of people are into Fantasy Football but I don’t really get the appeal. I have no interest in watching a bunch of grown men run around and tackle each other. Most of the men are in really good shape and their muscles bulge through those little spandex they wear. Sometimes they all pile [...]
Good Newt vs Bad Newt
Quick grammer question – are you allowed to say someone or something is a dichotomy? Can I say, “Vanilla Sky is a dichotomy, because everyone hated it, but I loved it?” Because I said that at work today and everyone looked at me funny – even the stupid guy – but I think he just [...]
Nixon goes to China
In honor of Apple’s 74 quadrillion dollar 4th quarter profit …
Newt Dwight Schrute
I’m not going to tell you which TV character Newt Gingrich reminds me of because I strongly believe that chicks like mysterious dudes. On a totally unrelated topic, I bought a ticket for Grizzly Man and went into the wrong theatre. After an hour I figured I was in the wrong theatre but I kept [...]
Mitt Romney went to Cranbrook
Hearing that Mitt Romney is going to be the Republican nominee is kind of like hearing you’re going to eat chicken for dinner – it’s like – “Whatever, I guess that’s fine”. That being said, I happen to love chicken. I eat it for every meal including breakfast and that meal between lunch and dinner [...]
The Republican Candidate Roundup – Rick Perry
It’s getting to be that time in the Presidential election cycle where people who actually have jobs, and kids, and like to watch “The Mentalist” Wednesday nights on TNT, and maybe click over to Wheel of Fortune during the ads, and don’t have time to debate Classical vs Keynesian economics, and don’t really give a [...]
