As you have probably read or heard, the CEOs of the Big Three were back in Washington, begging for a bailout to the tune of 25 billion dollars in order to save their failing companies. What apparently, not only caught my attention, but the attention of many of the major news organizations, was the fact [...]

That’s why you might find yourself saying when visiting the Delicate Arch and a two other National Parks in the not so distant future. Apparently, the US Bureau of Land Management has decided to auction off 50,000 acres of oil and gas parcels found not too far away from natural wonders, such as the Delicate [...]

Remember Rev. Al Sharpton’s run for President in ’04? Well, the feds sure do. Auditors for the federal government have found that he owes almost five hundred thousand dollars from his failed campaign. He’s said that he will appeal. I have to say that I’d be even happy to earn a quarter of what he [...]

Take a wild guess at what was on the dinner menu last night? Fondue. Yep. Proof that Fondue brings people together. I’ll get back to last night in a moment.

Yes, you read that correctly. Some jackass Roman Catholic priest in Greenville, South Carolina has told his parishioners that they should not take part in holy communion if they voted for Obama because supports abortion which means that by supporting him ”constitutes material cooperation with intrinsic evil.” I promise you that I am not making this shit up. [...]

President-Elect Obama is slated to sit down with Sen. McCain next Monday. Perhaps they’ll get in a game of cribbage… please tell me that I am not the only person under 50 who plays the game.

President-Elect Obama wasn’t the only one to receive, what had to be, an awkward tour of his future residence this week. Nope, the title now goes to Mr. Biden. Accompanied by his wife, Mr. Biden paid a visit to the Naval Observatory. Okay, well not the observatory itself as much as the Vice President’s Residence located [...]

Recently, the Big Three have had their eyes on a portion of that 700 billion dollar aid package approved by Congress. Sec. Paulson has even said that before he hands over money, he wants to be sure that there will be long-term success. Chrysler and GM have been hurting the most and have their lobbyists hitting [...]

I know, I know. This doesn’t really fall under politics. However, I happened to mention the World’s Ugliest Dog in a posting about the future First Puppy of the White House.

Guess what folks? Apparently you can have a liaison with an escort, get caught with your pants down, and not have to worry about criminal charges. I can see a new term getting coined out of this. When a man gets off from being caught with his pants down, it can now be called, “Pulling a Spitzer!” [...]
