Busy weekend. Getting sort of late. Just decided to do an unadvisable three minute freestyle. If it sounds like nonsense, that’s a direct reflection on your upbringing and education not my ability. Because, trust me, in the words of Alexander Graham Bell, “this will be one of the most important freestyles you’ve heard in the […]

The Reviews Are In . . .
Some of my biggest fans are spam. These trolling algorithmically generated comments really know how to make a man feel good. It’s indecipherable flattery like the following that gives me the strength and inspiration to daily press on. You know thus considerably relating to this subject, made me in my opinion consider it from a […]
Well Done
So I haven’t eaten meat (or any animal product other than trace amounts) in 46 days. You may or may not remember why. Actually, I don’t really remember myself. I’ve lost, in weight, the memory portion of my brain. It’s like the vegetarian Notebook. I wake every morning to another bowl of quinoa not remembering […]
Two Strong
Neil Armstrong died Saturday. Lance Armstrong, in a sense, did too. I’m still trying to sort out my feelings on performance enhancing drugs (“PEDs”) and why we might convict certain individuals in the court of public opinion over them and not others. That aside, both Armstrongs refused to be ordinary or aim too low. In […]
Principled Non-Principle
Congressman Todd Akin, a candidate for one of the two US Senatorial seats in Missouri, implied fairly directly this week that the female body physiologically rejects any zygote conceived in a forcible rape situation such that the question of whether or not an abortion should be legal for instances of rape is effectively rendered moot. […]
Amen Corner
I’ve been going all Ryan Lochte at the neighborhood pool. Giant chains. Monster tires. Ice grill. I even tried to trademark “Pah-shhh!” In Lochte fashion, I can also swim four 25 meter laps. In a row. Without stopping. Well, maybe one stop. But, very short. And a nap. With only one snack. And I might […]
Behind the Blong
I’m about as excited for today’s installment as almost anything I’ve done in quite a while. And, that’s saying something because I watched an entire Family Ties marathon just last weekend. Remember the poignant amphetamine episode? It’s like the sitcom Pietà. It happened inadvertently last night, while driving to Charleston. So, I necessarily have to […]
R&R
On the road. Early hours of the morning, recording from a top secret undisclosed vocal booth. About to pass out. Left my windscreen at home, of course. Had to use a Kleenex on my mic to try and kill some of the consonants. Super budget tonight. But, I had to get something in on Romney’s […]
Casinos and Daycares
So I have a friend who has a friend who does sweepstakes as a hobby. I know. Sounds like doing bath salts as a dessert. Or doing your nails as massage. Wait. People actually do that. Anyway, he raked. Like a serious family vacay every year. Hawaii not Dollywood. Sorry, Mom and Dad (they’re D-Wood […]
More than Just Margin
