Supporting the Ripon High School Cheerleaders

November 16th, 2007 | 1 Comment

Almost lost in the midst Hillary being labeled a “bitch” and whether or not Barack properly poses during the National Anthem was this major headline on Fox: High School Cheerleaders Suspended for Flashing Crowd During Britney Spears Routine I immediately had flashbacks to my high school days.  Now, our cheerleaders fit the stereotypes to a [...]

Long Road out of nowhere (Eden)

November 5th, 2007 | 1 Comment

The Eagles have released a new album.  It’s their first one in a while.  They entered the scene with a bang in 1972 and really hit it beyond big with Hotel California in 1976.  Finally, in 1979 they recorded The Long Run.  That marked the end of The Eagles recording.  They did however, continue to [...]

Who gets to define torture?

October 31st, 2007 | No Comments

There’s a lot being said over waterboarding.  Michael Mukasey’s nomination is said to be “drowning” over this one single issue.  Joe Biden and Patrick Leahy, who are prone to oppose just about anything for the sake of politics, are “concerned” that Mukasey, rather than completely cowering and denouncing PC-torture-procedure-of-the-day, stated he’d rather look at each [...]

Birth Control for pre-teens?

October 18th, 2007 | No Comments

Kids at King Middle School in Portland Maine haveto be feeling pretty darn good about themselves.  The school’s so concerned about their health and welfare that they are passing out birth control for those that feel the urge.  I’m just totally stumped by this one.  We’re talking 12-14 year olds.  For the most part, I [...]

Christie Brinkley’s pretzel logic to save the world

October 12th, 2007 | No Comments

This is what Christie Brinkley does absolutely best:   What she doesn’t do quite so well is make an argument for a nuclear free world.  Her logic is this, because the United States chose to assure Iraq had no nuclear weapons or capability to make them, the world was blinded about the threat of nuclear [...]

Alicia Silverstone for PETA

September 25th, 2007 | No Comments

Well, here it is: I really can’t see what’s so offensive about this one to the tune it can’t get on tv in Houston. I myself was hoping to see a little more. I’d actually like to see a lot more like this and a lot less of those commercials promoting super-caffeinated drinks aimed at [...]

Ahmadinejad goes to New York

September 24th, 2007 | No Comments

Iran’s president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is disappointed the US is not allowing him to roam free in the US speaking.  His logic for allowing to do so is something like this: Ahmadinejad said the American people have been denied “correct information,” and his visit will give them a chance to hear a different voice, the official IRNA [...]

Jerry Lewis plays the gay card?

September 5th, 2007 | No Comments

The last few Jerry Lewis telethons have been somewhat forgetable.  Well, for me, they pretty much all have been.  Having a telethon on Labor Day is a big deal here.  Labor Day is the last big bash on the lake for us.  Toss in the fact my birthday quite frequently falls on the same weekend [...]

Whoopi doesn’t seem to think much of the South

September 5th, 2007 | No Comments

Whoopi Goldberg replaced Rosie Odonnell on The View.  Rosie being gone is a good thing because Rosie seemed to rely on rhetoric, stupidity, and generalizations as a basis for most of “the views”.  However, Whoopi’s been known to drop some stupid bombs of her own in the past.  Apparently not much has changed by replacing [...]

A constitutionally correct high school diploma?

September 1st, 2007 | No Comments

Here’s the situation: Erica Corder was one of 15 valedictorians at Lewis-Palmer High School in 2006. All were invited to speak for 30 seconds at the graduation ceremony. When it was Corder’s turn, she encouraged the audience to get to know Jesus Christ. Corder had not included those remarks during rehearsals. Corder’s lawsuit, filed Monday [...]
