Barely two years removed from wretchedness, the Lightning are treating us with performances that can only be described with superlatives. As of right now they are the best team in the Eastern Conference, and only a game back from being the best in the entire league. I was joking with a friend that for an encore, the Rays would finish second to the Yankees and qualify for the playoffs as a wild…
Don’t get me wrong, I’m still the guy that has never voted for a Republican chief executive. Considering that meant voting against 41, 43, and a guy who referred to himself in the third person more often than a character on Friends; who could blame me? But let’s do a quick review. Mr Kerry comes from what could be the most “liberal” state this side of San Fran. I…
“Oh brother. Someone is suing Janet Jackson because she suffered ‘anger, outrage, and personal injury’ after watching the Super Bowl half time show.”
“Well, maybe she was watching the special ‘3-D’ presentation of the Super Bowl and lurched back when ‘shocking episode’ took place, falling off her perch and knocking herself out on an end…

That’s quite a build up for this entry, isn’t it? Well, I was sitting up a few nights ago reading…
Those party horns – the ones that you can get in a set of twenty at the dollar store – I’d like to take several and shove them where the clean air doesn’t blow. Everyone in my house (except for me) is asleep, so it must be coming from outside. They’re impossible to ignore. Please God, I just want to sleep. If Cheryl or Beth wakes me up early tomorrow to leave for Bush…
‘Tis the season to reflect on the past and predict the future. I’ve been reflecting all year so I figure there’s no sense rehashing it all now. As for predictions, roll your own dice. You’ll probably get a better answer. Awfully gruff coming from such a mild mannered, middle class, middling influence, man of our time; isn’t it? Where’s the optimistic yearning…
