Ah the lethargy of Utah. Hoo Hum. New License Plate Idea:
UTAH
Life Medicated
According to this morning’s news papers, radio reports and television “news,” Utah is depressed. In fact, Utah is the most depressed populous in the country. Now, I am sure that there are are a couple of bus load of Prozaced GOP lawmakers [...]

First it was Ellen, who pretty much showed her disdain for her staff by continuing her show and only skipping a monologue. Her excuse was that people had come from all over the world to see her show and it never occured to her that she could wait outside with the picket line and sign [...]

… Ok, the Marine Corps High School in Texas, that I support. The Air Force Academy, that I (reluctantly) support. West Point, Norwich and the Citadel, those I support … but this … this … this is what happens at a private school. This is yet another good reason to oppose any and all [...]

Following on a chuckle worthy theme from yesterday, Ethan and I decided to “argue” our Presidential Ticket Dream Teams. It’s a comic view of who we want running, as opposed to who is running.

Here is my list from last night:
Ultimate Ticket, Bub.

Wolverine / Superman
Wonky Ticket
Rep. Dave Obey / Rep. Louise Slaughter

I love the double standard, and the former Governor of Texas always delivers on time.
Today there is another meeting in the ongoing Middle East peace talks. Ongong, you ask? Yeah, ongoing, with a nearly seven year recess because the former Governor of Texas is a bonehead. This isn’t about the bonehead, though, it’s about the [...]

So … This one has me standing in the middle wanting to point and swear in both directions. Jared Massey got pulled over for speeding, and then, with his wife and his kid in the car, started acting like a gigantic ass to a cop.
Conclusion: idiot.
Then, the UHP Trooper got sick of Jared Massey acting [...]

Just got this alert from Crooks and Liars via Cleavland.com:

Dennis Kucinich has announced his first pick for running mate, and it is (dramatic pause…..):
Call it the liberal-libertarian ticket, where left meets right and Democrat Dennis Kucinich picks Republican Ron Paul to be his vice president.
Kucinich, the Cleveland congressman running in a longshot bid to become [...]

Oh, the brilliance that is my daily stop for TV information, TV Squad, dropped some fantastic news on my deserving head this afternoon. Rose Tyler, played by the uber-hottie Billie Piper, will be re-joining The Doctor (somehow) in the next season of the BBC’s venerable program, Doctor Who. Here’s some info:
Good news for Doctor Who [...]

I don’t think I’ve had my breath taken away from news as quick as this did it. Senator Eddie has been an inspiration to me and I cannot fathom the size of the hole Eddie’s passing will cause in the lives of those who knew him.
