What’s in a Name?

I’m getting sick of researchers.

I read this article the other day about how people are giving their babies more unusual names. I’d agree with that seeing as my wife and I have chosen to go with “unusual” baby names and several other parents we know have done the same. Because I noticed that, I [...]


Recycled Health Care Blog

A while ago, my friend Doug from Arsenic Lullaby asked if I’d write something for him because he had a lot going on with his new comic book and seeing as Doug and I agree for the most part politically, I used the opportunity to give a few thoughts on Health Care.

Seeing as that [...]


Go get’em Tiger!

It’s a sad commentary on the American media to see how viciously they are perusing the possible affairs that Tiger Woods has been having. Understandably so. After all if Tiger Woods did have an affair it could cripple our economy and result in a significantly lower standard of living for those in industrialized countries…oh, wait.

Well, [...]


Grab a Mop

One day, two little girls, Sasha and Malia, were painting a picture of their dog to hang on the refrigerator. They started to get a little bit sloppy because they were excited at how well the picture was coming along and accidentally spilled paint on the floor.

They tried to clean it up with paper towels, [...]


Why I Hate Everyone: Reason #574

Clinton ‘Asylum of Terror’ haunted house angers N.J. mental-health advocates

This place in Jersey that I’ve never been to, Red Mill Museum, is hosting an annual haunted house. This year’s theme is “Asylum of Terror”. What’s it about? Well, there’s a sign out front that gives you the storyline of this haunted house:

“Dementia, paranoia, violent sociopathic [...]


Running thru some headlines

Psychiatric Meds Can Bring on Rapid Weight Gain in Kids. These are anti-psychotic drugs that often benefit children who have schizophrenia, autism, tics, severe bipolar disorder or aggressive behavior.. So…parents would rather have a psychotic, socially awkward, suicidal child than a fatty?

Baby Einstein or Whatever Works

Disney is offering refunds to parents who used “Baby Einstein” videos because they somehow don’t make your kid a genius. I’m not surprised. Have you even seen one of these? It’s the biggest bunch on nonsense imaginable. They might have called the series “Random Crap I Shot in My Basement for Babies”.

Let’s be honest though, [...]


DVD Sales & Me

DVD sales peaked in 2006 and now they’ve been on a steady decline. Why? Well, some would like to suggest that piracy is the reason for a decline in DVD sales. Interesting, but stupid.

When it comes to questions that wonder why people are or aren’t doing certain things, I tend to look at myself [...]


New Private Policy

I’ve got a new policy in my personal life: Don’t debate issues with someone who doesn’t at least in part agree with the same fundamentals as I do.

This isn’t me running away from a challenge or only wanting to associate with people who think the same way I do. It’s a way to save my [...]


Thinking Out Loud: Government Healthcare

I was thinking about healthcare. I know, I’m an exciting fellah. Any-hoo-didde-do, I was thinking about “the public option” which will more than likely turn into the only option. Then something hit me, I don’t think it has anything to do with healthcare for people who don’t have it, it’s about the money.

DUH! Right? I [...]
