No, not a haunting and seductive fragrance but the stench of fear. This weekend, join host E.D. Hill as FOX News examines, “Obsession: The Threat of Radical Islam.” They are the most vital questions of our time: How deadly is the Islamic terror threat to the world and especially to the United States? Do terrorists really want to destroy our… Read more →

Cash is Too Damn Slow
I just saw a Visa ad that I really found funny. Ok, it was for the Visa checkcard, so it isn’t credit or anything, but the fact remains that it was all about le plastique. That’s French for “in debt up to your asshole.” In the ad, a group of people dance around some sort of eating establishment that looks… Read more →

Ebay and PayPal and Trouble for Katya
My girlfriend, Katya, used to sell lots of things on Ebay. I’ve sold LOTS of things on Ebay. So has everyone on the freaking planet. It’s Ebay! Anyway, a few months back, I knew that she was in the middle of a big mess with Ebay and PayPal and today I found out the resolution and it is just freaking… Read more →
What’s So Funny ‘Bout Peace, Love and Global Warming?
This is NOT a debate about the politics, relevance, legitimacy or accuracy of global warming or projections related to it. Ok, now that I’ve said that… I see the debate about global warming and I see how passionate folks (hey, if Dubya can use “folks” when describing terrorists, I can use it here!) on both sides of the issue. And… Read more →
Why the Stupid Arguments? Why?
I’m all for rational discourse about topics on which many of us cannot and may never agree. But, when the arguments of those in favor or or against a particular issue are so bizarre and angular, it is clear they are just reaching. The latest is Wendy Wright, head of the Concerned Women for America group that opposes today’s FDA… Read more →
We May Leave the Light on For Ya, But Not the Pr0n
Being able to purchase porn in a hotel room is as American as absconding from your Hilton room with the bath robes or filling your ice chest at the ice machine at Motel 6 before hitting the road. Not that I would watch porn in a hotel room. My delicate sensibilities would be forever damaged by such salacious viewing options.… Read more →
Kittens, Tarot and Arthritis…All in a Day’s Shopping
I was in my friendly neighborhood Kroger store the other day and ran across these sitting on the rack with the National Enquierer, Star, etc. This confuses me on many levels, but I’ll be more specific. I should explain, firstly, that I don’t like Dummies books. I prefer the Idiot books and here’s why. Dummy implies that I’m inherently stupid.… Read more →
It Says “Do Not Enter” for a Reason
I go to the post office at Yale and 11th Street pretty often. There is only one entrance to the parking lot that is marked as a legitimate entrance and that is from Yale. There is another place to exit – on 11th Street – but it is clearly marked by a DO NOT ENTER sign on 11th for one… Read more →
Green Mountain Energy Wants Their Zero Dollars
I got one of the dumbest, coolest form letters in the mail today and I’d like to share it with you, my blogging friends. I switched energy companies recently and received this final notice from them: Without further action, your account may be submitted to a debt collection agency for futher action on July 25, 2006. Dear Balke Jeff: As… Read more →
