I suppose it should have been expected, but it seems that the swift boating of Barrack Obama has begun in earnest. Just as more public musings about why Obama has been unable to “close the deal” on the nomination began to turn to the question of race, this whole meaningless Reverend Wright controversy has been […]

Sony is delaying Home for Playstation 3 yet again. Eh, just as well, just means I won’t be buying a PS3 any time soon. While Home is not what one might think of as a killer app, especially with established virtual worlds like Second Life and There already available, it is a for me a […]

I saw my first pink haired guy on the street a few days ago and it actually looked good on him!^^ In addition to pink, I’ve seen deep cherry reds, blues, and greens. And I’ve also seen a guy with a blonde streaked mohawk wearing denim and leather. One of the nice things about this […]

The so called ‘D.C. Madam’ was found guilty on all counts of running a prostitution ring. Perhaps this comes as no surprise, but the thing that really rankled me was part of the prosecutor’s closing remarks.

I have yet to see anyone outside of a church casually thumbing through the Bible on a bus […]

The Olympic torch was extinguished several times due to protests as the torch relay passed through Paris. While I’m sure that many share the view that mixing up sports and politics is a bad thing, I think that this just is just more proof that everything involving human beings and their relationships IS politics. There’s […]

One of the downsides of a big family is having to share everything with a lot of people, of course that’s one of the upsides too! But in this case it meant not being able to watch the Battlestar Galactica premiere last night on the living room TV, in part because I don’t feel like […]

Now that Adult Swim has relegated anime to Saturday nights only, I no longer have any reason to watch AS on any other night. I like Family Guy and some of the other comedies, but by the 2nd or 3rd showing of even the funniest Family Guy, I’m finished with it. Comedy simply does not […]

Even with Chicago area gasoline prices approaching $4/gal, with crude oil prices topping $100/barrel why isn’t gasoline more expensive yet?
