Still Undecided? Are You Serious?

I can’t believe there are still people out there who are undecided on who they’re going to vote for for President. Have you been in a cave the last two years? Barack Obama’s been running for two years, and this is McCain’s, what, 15th time to run? What’s taking you so long to decide? Still [...]

Blog Action Day: Poverty

They threw a blog action day today and no one invited me! So, I’ll take it upon myself to post about this year’s topic: poverty. I actually have a solution to end poverty in the United States. If you like it, you can send me some money (that’ll help by ending my poverty). If you’re [...]

Socialism Now, or Socialism Later?

Several months ago, the main issue for the upcoming election was the war in Iraq. It came down to either you were for victory or you were for defeat. Now, today, everyone’s worried about the economy. It seems that the problem with Americans is their relatively short attention span when it comes to issues. Whatever [...]

It’s A Health Care Crisis! And We’re All Going To Die!

I was made aware the other day of a web site set up to make people aware of the health care crisis. Health care crisis? What health care crisis? I guess while I’ve been asleep these last 25 years, we’ve ended up in a health care crisis. I guess that means that we don’t have [...]

Webb Wilder and Webbfest 2008

Webbfest III was last weekend. Unfortunately, we didn’t go this year. They decided (last year) to have it in Asheville, NC this year, and in what turned out to be some major lack of foresight, it’s in the middle of fall color season there. So, all the hotels are either booked or are too expensive. [...]

Crazies Come Out In Nashville

Because of the debate Tuesday, getting home that day from work was a little bit more of a chore than usual. I normally go up Edgehill from 21st, hang a right on 18th, then left on Horton, then right on 17th, then from there on Magnolia and ultimately to Belmont. But TuesdayI just went straight [...]

Tough Jobs

I watch a lot of “reality” TV. From Survivor to America’s Toughest Jobs to Dirty Jobs to Axemen, I really like those kinds of shows. America’s Toughest Jobs is a reality competition that takes a bunch of people to different places and puts them to work, from being a rodeo clown to a being a [...]

With A Congress Like This, Who Needs Enemas?

So, Congress thought the economy needed a bailout, and they rushed through an (unconstitutional) bill that the President signed the other day. They should have taken the hint from the stock market and their constituents. When the House took up the measure the first time, the DOW went down, When it was defeated, the DOW [...]

NASCAR Gets It Right, and Wrong

Was that race at Talladega something else or what? I’ve always maintained that the restrictor plate races are some of the best races around, and today’s race was no exception. Generally the talk of “the big one” is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Carl Edwards’ bonehead move tore up a lot of cars; he was right to [...]
