I just love Orrin Hatch. For those of you not in the know, Mr. Hatch is a U.S. Senator from the state of Utah. On Meet the Press Sunday morning, Mr. Hatch angrily defended the Bush administration and the Justice Department proclaiming, “there’s not a shred of evidence suggesting an ongoing investigation was interfered with… they’re (the Democrats) creating a tempest in a…
There was a time, not so long ago, when I thought Jorge was going to be a part of the glory Rays. Now it looks like he’s destined to play for someone else. I’m forced to face the fact that he wasn’t going to be the guy at second base for the Rays. When BJ Upton beats you out because his defense is BETTER, you know you’ve got a problem.
I understand it came down to a choice…
Oh how I wish I could find the source! I’ve been googling like a man posessed by the spirit of Pytheas, seaching in vain for a little thing called “documented proof.”
Ah, but I’ve only just started this entry and already I’ve digressed twice (by hyperlink). What on Earth was I looking for? I heard on the radio a few days ago that some kind of poll was taken, and it…
From the Washington Post:
“… the assumption that the United States could create a liberal, constitutional democracy in Iraq defies just about everything known by professional students of the topic. Of the more than 40 democracies created since World War II, fewer than 10 can be considered truly “constitutional” — meaning that their domestic order is protected by a…
My last post not withstanding, the U.S. Attorney scandal is not about broken laws. It’s not about the executive branch of government exercising power it does not have. For me, it’s about abuse of power. This is the reason this scandal has an air of Watergate about it.
Conservative bloggers are mostly correct on at least one point: there are no smoking guns. There are no emails, no…
I think the main reason I make a lousy southerner is my pure hatred for fishing. The only worse sin MIGHT be indifference to NASCAR – but auto racing is not my metaphor du jour.
What good reason is there for fishing anyway? You sit there for hours casting a line in the water and reeling it back in – like some kind of failed stimulus-response experiment. Hell, even mice stop pressing…
I was standing in line at Starbucks waiting for a little pick-me-up, in the form of a Grande, Java Chip Frappuccino. I haven’t been drinking much coffee lately, but I was hoping a little iced coffee would juice me through an end-of-the-day grocery run at the Super Target.
I was listening in on a little cross-counter banter, when the green apron clad Javameister said something he…
Two – 2 – mornings in a row, I put a pot of water on the stove, prepared my grinds and all the fixings, and waited patiently for the water to boil… and waited… and waited…
These past two mornings it’s taken me an average of six minutes to determine that the stove was off.
I’m pleased to say that I’m comfortable with my failings. Why else would I be…
