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.

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…
“Yo, body! What do you make of this time change?”
“Not much; and that’s ‘Mr. Body’ to you.”
“That’s awfully formal for someone you can’t live without. What’s wrong, you can’t handle the time difference? It’s not like you didn’t know it was coming. I’ve been telling you for months it was…
When folks in government talk about our reliance on oil, why does it seem like there’s constant chatter about fuel cells? Why are we waiting on hydrogen fuel cells when we can do something now? Here’s the cynic/realist perspective (you get to choose which one): fuel cells are twenty years from production/wide spread use, and that’s a lot of time to put off tough economic…
