If Jesus were around today, do you suppose he would be a copyright lawyer? I hope not, because I’m engaged in a little project that I’m almost ashamed of… I’ve been copying the text of my preferred interpretation of the Bible from an online source… with the aim of converting the plain text into a formatted e-book on my Palm OS device. I’m only copying it for my…
In some circles he’s been described as the conservative evil genius. In other circles he’s just evil. This is the political climate of the day… but I’m not here for name calling… well, maybe I’m not above a little name-calling by proxy.
The point of this morning’s verbal concoction is to analyze comments made by Karl Rove on NPR a couple days ago. My boy…
For a few weeks in 1990 there was a real-live boogey man in my life. He had a name, but at the time no one knew it. For a while everyone thought it was a mentally ill young man named Ed Humphrey, but a while later we learned his real name: Daniel Rolling.

Passing yards, rushing yards, offensive big plays, and time of possession – all went the Eagles way. The Eagles clearly outplayed the Bucs. The Bucs offense scored all of 6 points…
I love the fact that I can find words like “mooch” in the dictionary. It makes writing for this site so much easier when I can verify the appropriate usage of slang. Is “mooch” just a random sample, plucked from the Kauffman Vocabulary Archives as a purely hypothetical example of slang?

As much as I hate to say it, Auburn made a heck of an adjustment in the second half against Florida last night. The Gators ran pretty much at will in the first half, but the Auburn defensive line ate the Gators for a late evening snack in the second.
