The media is once again distorting facts, this time about President Obama making triple bogey while golfing. Let’s set the record straight. The foursome he was playing in took 19 strokes on the par 4 hole collectively. Once the strokes were redistributed amongst the four gentleman they all scored the hole as a par. Out of fairness, the remaining three strokes were cut up and distributed to secret service agents,   Read More ...

Because 15% is 15%. It’s only two bucks, and will ensure that you get slow service wherever you use it. Suggestion…make a key chain version. Or an iPhone App.

I don’t keep up with baseball anymore, but Michael Silence brought my attention to an unassisted triple play over the weekend. When you’ve had an athletic career as long and decorated as mine (I’ll pause for you to finish laughing) that’s been so well documented (again, laughter) it’s sad to say the highlight, if it can be called that, occurred as a five year old in tee-ball. Yeah, I turned   Read More ...

We’re going to get one of these super cool treehouses. We won’t be able to afford it until then.

Aunt B. broke, it... Trace Sharp has gone to work for Mike McWherter’s campaign. Whether you agree with his positions on the issues or not, it’s cool that at least one candidate sees the value in putting a well known and internet savvy pundit to work to help their campaign. My sources are telling me that Mabel’s campaign is refusing comment and focusing on damage control.

I want to gradulate Corrine Brown on her successful appearance on Jacksonville radio this morning. I only wish there was video to go with this. She really needs her own morning show. Part I, PartII, Part III, Part IV I’m not able to decode many of her “answers” into anything that even approach a complete thought, but there on some new terms, questions, and turn of phrase introduced in this   Read More ...

Not the Security and Exchange Commission–I’ll straighten them out next week. I’m talking about the Southeastern Conference. Now, these are just the simple-minded observations from someone with absolutely no formal training in marketing: If someone is excited about your product and wants to talk about it, you should be happy. If someone is excited about your product and wants to talk about it, you should encourage them. No matter who   Read More ...

Here’s a pretty funny response to the old argument that home school kids don’t get socialization. If you want to get a bit old-school take him into the bathroom once in a while and threaten to smack him upside the head unless he gives you his lunch money. Follow the link to read the whole thing…it’s hilarious. And here’s something to think about seriously:  I went to public school. If   Read More ...

I watch this video, I don’t know, 9 or 10 times a day just to make sure I don’t forget everything I’ve learned. You can come back here and watch it any time…it’s a guilty pleasure.

The Missus and I were talking about the comments President Obama made the other day about Fedex/UPS/USPS and competition. Lots of people are laughing about it, but here’s someone breaking it down to levels beyond scientific. It’s fascinating how it all comes down to the post office, again and again, in the history of public policy. And so it is in our time, with Obama’s admission/gaffe/slip concerning the post office   Read More ...

I have a few friends that are expecting babies soon. Well, their wives are…my friends just look like they are expecting babies soon. I was reminded of this really cool gift a friend gave me. This book basically gives you an idea about what goes on in the human brain as it develops and what to expect behavior-wise based on what’s going on physiologically. Oh wait…first let me tell you   Read More ...

I didn’t even know I could be addicted to Intervention. I guess I should admit I have a problem too. That’s the first step to recovery. I always thought Scrubs was my real problem. Intervention Intervention with Fred Armisen from Fred Armisen
