Turns out I’m cheering for the Giants.
Super Bowl Sunday
Two things.
I watch the game for the game. I don’t give a rat’s ass about the commercials. Sure there will be one or two, or even three, entertaining ads but the rest will be just as mind-numbingly stupid as those aired the other 364 days of the year. In fact, I don’t know what I find more annoying, television commercials or people who suspend their good taste and laugh at...

This is brilliant in so many ways. I hope to get more into it later but for now I have football to watch.
My Year
2011. I was surprised, as the year came to a close, how many people were happy to see it go. It seemed no better or worse than most others to me. The biggest event of the year, in my world, was being diagnosed with type II diabetes the second week of September. I guess that could be viewed as a negative. However, it was caught early before it made me sick or caused any damage. It also resulted in...

Sleep
Note to self: if you want to write something about some topic, do it before your eyes are drooping. Now it is midnight and I am about to fall asleep sitting up and I can’t remember what I wanted to write about. So I guess this is all I get today. Now I am off to bed.

Quote of the Day
The best thing I’ve seen all day comes from the Huckleberries Online blog. In response to the question, “Have you ever had a close encounter with an Inland Northwest predator? Tell us about it” someone posted the following comment:
I was cornered by a cougar in a Moscow bar. When flashing my wedding ring didn’t phase her, I had no choice but to create a diversion and run for...

Don't Forget
Last Saturday, after watching the Vandal game at BW3, Jake went to Barnes and Noble and bought a Ronald Reagan biography. Tonight he went to sleep with the book propped up on the night stand. He has two notes, taped to the book and the lamp, reminding himself to take the book with him on or trip to Moscow in the morning.
Bum's Son Fired
I just heard someone say fixing the Cowboys is like eating a Shit sandwich. Half of that sandwich is firing the head coach. The second half of the sandwich is firing the general manager. I wonder why Jerry Jones only ate half of the sandwich?

Keep It To Yourself
Dear everybody,
Save your self-righteous political indignation for someone who cares. Your opponents’ ideas aren’t half as bad as you think and your own ideas aren’t half as good as you think. All your blustering just makes you look like a jackass.
Thanks,
Me

Contractual Obligations
Something I couldn’t help but notice.
Remember back when the auto industry went to Washington to ask for a bailout? Congressional republicans were quite insistent that the car makers should be required to void their labor contracts as a condition of government help. Now, when it comes to voiding the contracts of white collar bankers, those same republicans have become extremely adamant...

Editor’s note: Charles W. Colson, a former aide to President Nixon, is the founder of Prison Fellowship, the world’s largest Christian outreach to prisoners. President Bush this week acknowledged Colson’s work among prisoners, awarding him the Presidential Citizens Medal. Colson was imprisoned for obstruction of justice in the attempt to smear Daniel Ellsberg, who disclosed the...
