This week I have been traveling for work. I have a Jeep Commander and let’s say that I’m less than impressed with the vehicle.
First, it rides like a Jeep. It’s fun if you’re in Wrangler, ... ( more)

Okay, so the real score is probably Lobbyists 7,565,545,312,212 Good Tax Policy 1, but in this case the Missouri Senate did the right thing.

A couple of weeks ago I mentioned that I upgraded to WordPress 2.5 and that I wasn’t sure about the new interface. Raj Dash at Performancing shortly thereafter put up a post “Why I hate ... ( more)

Today is the NFL draft. ESPN has a 4 hour pregame show. For the draft. I overheard a guy at lunch tell his buddy that he couldn’t go golfing because he was watching.the.draft. Seriously? Do ... ( more)

So, today is denoted as Earth Day. While I prefer to think of everyday is Earth Day, it is a day to reflect on our relationship to the environment. I’m not a hardcore environmentalist, and ... ( more)

Ahhhh, April 15th. The day when tax people party (there ain’t no party like a tax party!) and politicians hoist ever dumber tax ideas on an unsuspecting public. Today’s contestant is John McCain. Let’s see ... ( more)

Ok, I’m no genius and certainly not an expert on all things business, but I have zero idea what the heck is going on with Blockbuster actively seeking to buy Circuit City. To me, and it ... ( more)

I upgraded the site to the latest version of WordPress (v2.5) this morning. Let me know if you see anything weird going on.
I’m not sure the much hyped new and improved admin panel is better. ... ( more)

Today is the second Tuesday of the month and for the first time in a long time I don’t care. Why? Because I purchased a Macbook a couple of weeks ago.

We received word over the weekend that Charlton Heston died in his home after a long battle with a disease similar to Alzheimer’s. The first thing I thought of was his legacy and how it ... ( more)

It’s good news, bad news on the LA Times entertainment blog this morning. First, the NBC schedule for next season was released and Friday Night Lights is coming back for 13 episodes! Woohoo! Being a ... ( more)

Just an FYI that I won’t be doing any lame April Fools jokes. Most are really groan inducing and not at all believable.
The best one ever (at least for font geeks like me) was San ... ( more)

I was about to give the Clinton campaign credit for not piling on in the whole “Should Obama dump his pastor” kerfuffle. Then Hillary’s team lets her put an easily fact-checked lie into her stump ... ( more)
