The monthlies.

• Living Without Grace

  Jake Tapper made an astute observation this morning concerning the vile behavior of Nancy Grace. Who? You know, this lady… Image: What’s Happening at CNN Tapper noted the nearly unbelievable statements made by Nancy Grace on her CNN Headline News program last night (Why does she still have her own show?)… Then on CNN Headline [...]

• First Snowboard Of The Season

  I headed to Tahoe this weekend; first time at Sugar Bowl resort in the northern Tahoe area. Bruised knee and butt; sore arms and legs… Good time.

• The Rey Shoppe

  Seven years ago, a group of people got together and formulated a business plan for the “Rey Shoppe.” It was the goal of the loosely-affiliated organization to stage the grand opening of the store on December 8, 2005. It turns out, that didn’t give us enough time… As I published in my senior year yearbook, [...]

• My Thoughts On Mr. Williams

  I have refrained from posting my thoughts on Stanley Williams’ pending death sentence, but I will holdout for no longer. I am a steadfast opponent of the death penalty; I feel the greatest penalty one could receive for committing a crime would be life imprisonment. That being said, I strongly feel that Williams’ life should [...]

• No Tears For Cunningham

  The esteemed Vietnam veteran, Randy Cunningham, who served his country with honor fell quickly from grace and power as he resigned from Congress after pleading guilty to tax evasion and conspiracy to commit bribery. But please shed no tear for this man; he may openly weep in public now, but that is because he has [...]

• Wonkette vs. San Francisco (SF Wins)

  This morning, Ms. Wonkette took a jab at San Francisco, the most beautiful city in the world… (Yes, I have been to Paris; a close second.) “In San Francisco, there is a TV station whose evening news slogan is ‘News from the best place on earth,’ a completely accurate phrase insofar it perfectly captures the [...]

• Alito vs. Privacy

  Does Samuel Alito’s confirmation to the Supreme Court, assuming the world ends, that is, mean the end of the Roe vs. Wade precedent? Yes, it does. Toles illustrates… (Click on image for full cartoon.) Image: Yahoo!

• The Most Poorly Named Day Of The Year

  Today is apparently World AIDS Day. (I didn’t have it marked on my calendar. Did you? And shouldn’t we get such a day off from work? I’m just saying…) What a poorly named day. Shouldn’t it be AIDS Awareness day, or even better, let us make this World Awareness week? Not World AIDS day. Are [...]

• Americans Support The Troops, Not Bush

  The president is right in declaring that the American people are behind the troops; the American people are just not behind him. CNN polled whether people believed Bush had a winning plan for Iraq. The results were not good… Image: CNN.com

• New Orleans Pushes For New Blood

  In an effort, once again I’m only assuming, to lure people to move to the flood-ravaged city of New Orleans, the city is offering free wireless internet access. So if you own a wireless-capable desktop or laptop (or are in the market for one) and you would like to live in a water-logged townhome, please [...]
