Not My Nuts!!!

I can honestly say that those are three words that never figured I’d say. However, it has finally happened: my nuts are dangerous. Since I’m not a dude…. as most of you should have figured out by now, that means that I can only be talking about one thing: pistachios.  It was one thing when spinach [...]

GM CEO Steps Down

It took this long for Rick Wagoner to step down from his position as the CEO of a company that’s been doing the death rattle for awhile now. Not only is GM trying to live off of 17.4 billion dollars of your and my tax money, but Saturn is either going to spin off from [...]

EPA Finally Grows a Pair

I came across an article about how the EPA is delaying mountaintop mining permits to first see what the impact the coal mining would be on streams and wetlands thanks in part to the Clean Water Act. Of course this means that mining companies aren’t too pleased, but frankly, they can suck it.   I [...]

White House Gets a Veggie Garden

Today Mrs. Obama broke ground on a produce and herb garden at the White House with the help of some elementary school children. Frankly, it’s about time that the White House had a veggie garden.  I grew up in a family where we always had some portion of our yard dedicated to a vegetable garden. [...]

Three Reasons to Thank Jon Stewart

If you didn’t catch this last night, you should check this out.  Jon Stewart effectively called Jim Cramer and CNBC on their shit.   more about “Jim Cramer Unedited Interview Pt. 1 …“, posted with vodpod more about “Jim Cramer Unedited Interview Pt. 2 |…“, posted with vodpod more about “Jim Cramer Pt. 3 | The [...]

Near and Far

Sorry folks, but the past couple of days have been very hectic for me so I don’t really have time at the moment for a meaningful posting.  I do, however, have time for a less-than-meaningful posting. I had problems sleeping the other night and found myself watching clips from Sesame Street.  I posted one of [...]

Right to Serve

So there’s this book that just hit the stores by Nathaniel Frank entitled, Unfriendly Fire: How the Gay Ban Undermines the Military and Weakens America. I think the title is self-explanatory.  He was on the “Rachel Maddow Show” last week and he was on “The Daily Show” last night to discuss the whole deal with [...]

Another Tagging…

I would like Riot Kitty for my latest tagging, who changed her permissions on her comment page so that I can no longer leave comments since it’s only open to gmail and blogspot folks… just thought I would mention that last part in a subtle manner.  1. You’ve got to post a link from the [...]

A Distraction

Okay, with the 18,000 people’s lives in the hands of the California Supreme Court in regards to Prop 8, and essentially, every other gay person in this country who would like to have the opportunity to marry, I figured this would be a good time for a distraction. So here it is…. as I mentioned [...]

Competition is a Good Thing

I’m not sure how many of you are familiar with the world of government contracting. (and please don’t ask me what I do or who I work for… I won’t answer.) However, I am, since I’m one of them. that practically every agency and department of the federal side of the government has contracts with [...]

Gary Condit Must Be Shitting Himself

If you’ll recall, about eight years ago, a federal intern by the name of Chandra Levy was reported missing in Rock Creek Park, which spans through a good portion of Washington, D.C.  One morning she went out for a jog, and a few weeks later, all eyes were on Former Rep. Gary Condit. During the [...]

Even the RNC Chairman Can’t Stand Limbaugh

I know this might be hard to believe, but I’m not much of a Rush Limbaugh fan. (I know, say it ain’t so!) Perhaps it’s because he’s a judgmental, homophobic, pill-popping fat-ass who doesn’t understand why women don’t like him. Oh, and before I go on here’s a segment featuring Keith Olbermann & Janeane Garofalo who [...]

Being a Lefty Has Its Perks

I bet you have noticed that our President is a southpaw (baseball term for being a lefty). In fact, President Obama is the eighth president who is left-handed. Left-handed people are pretty unique. We are a minority. However, I don’t mind it. In fact, it’s because of most objects in this world are catered to the right-handed [...]
