The primary choice

With an election looming, we’re hearing a lot about questions we think about every day. Whoa nelly… I knew that little bottle with a child proof cap wasn’t a single serving bottle of Kool-Aid. (They’re making it really thick these days, eh?) O.K., so we’re not hearing a lot about day-to-day, nuts and bolts, regular life stuff. This is where I come in…. This…

Learning to dress

This morning Cheryl admonished me for not pulling Adam’s pants up in front. She thought it was inappropriate for Adam to show diaper above the waistline. Part of our problem lies in diaper design. Our diaper brand of choice has many desirable characteristics, save one: a freakish amount of material above the fastening point. However, it goes beyond that… it involves something much more…

Gallagher v Crist

It’s never too late to go to the well, and Investment Bob went last night in his debate with the tuna (sorry Charlie). Investment Bob says there are three liberals in the Florida race for Governor, and he’s the only conservative. In fact, he took the gloves off and called the tuna a liberal. A LIBERAL!?!

General Casey says you can’t judge our success in Iraq by enemy action, or by statistics on…

Discussing the possibility that Iraq had fallen into “Civil War,” the President said (not his exact words, but as close as I recall), “I’ve talked to a lot of people… and the people I’ve talked to all want a united Iraqi government.” And you know what? I have no doubt that’s true.

Forget me not

I have a well deserved reputation of forgetfulness. I walk around the office (at work) with a PDA close enough to be a Siamese Twin (and a better looking one at that). This sets the stage for a conversation I had with my wife this morning. As I was getting out of my car for the Monday Morning Death March to work, my cell phone rang. It was Cheryl calling to tell me that I had forgotten the check…

The Executive versus the Courts

If you read nothing else of this politically slanted entry, please read at least one line. I feel really strongly about it. Read it and go on with the rest of your life with my blessings. Don’t listen to conservative pundits who insist the judiciary is overstepping it’s bounds… reigning in the possible excesses of another branch of government is by design, right smack in the…
