Fun story.
Especially since it involves the Bears losing and the Packers going to the Bowl. :)

– It’s a valid point, but I can’t help but wonder if the speech would have been a little different had his beloved Bears not been knocked out of it by my beloved Packers.
Ah well! Still, a great speech from someone I consider a great President. So, hats off, sir. Sure, it’s a...

Seriously, if this guy can actually convince people they want a Chevy, he’s the wrong dude to fire in this economy.
If you have a way to contact him, I think I’d like to do something nice for the guy. Shout out to followers… help. :)

So, please stop telling me a tax cut I didn’t ask for myself will make the rest of the country better.
History proves otherwise, but thanks for my nicer car, everyone else.

Hey, America! With your 10% unemployment and all that stuff! The new congress is here to help solve the jobs crisis! But first… here’s what your new pack of wolves tried to take away from you today:

Lifting lifetime and annual limits on benefits paid. No longer can a price be put on someone’s life.

Ah, this makes me smile.
“ There was a lot of hype of which local comedian would get a small bit part in the movie, and Steve Marmel (I think that was his name; everybody thought he was a pompous, funny, self-inflated ass) ended up getting the gig which would launch him to Hollywood stardom and fame.

What’s that moving rhetoric and stunning cadence we hear? It couldn’t be Martin Luther King, Jr., because he’s—oh! It’s Sarah Palin! Sometimes we confuse the two, seeing as they are basically the same person.
COMPARE: Honors Martin Luther King, Jr.: Nobel Peace Prize, national holiday, national monument. Sarah Palin: Own reality show.

What to say about a game I haven’t even watched yet? I was at a friend’s celebration, managed to catch it in snippets (but the game was secondary to celebration at hand) and yet…

One man survives two concussions and the loss of so many of his starters to get one game away from the Superbowl.
The other, well, the season was a...

Palin Derangement Syndrome? You tell me.
So, it’s been a day since Sarah Palin spoke. As always, when Sarah Palin does something, that thing becomes about Sarah Palin.
I have been accused of having “Palin Derangement Syndrome,” And perhaps that’s true. I despise her “mean girl” / “me first / never my fault” brand of politics.
However, I will point for point explain why I didn’t...

Guns, Idiots, Casinos and Booze - in retrospect.
Obviously, the scale of this story is NOTHING compared to the scale of what is happening now. I continue to ache - and seeth - about what happened in Tucson… the tragedy of it all, and the causes behind it.
Still… Here.
I was on the California/Nevada border… which is, if you’re curiousor checking a google map, is at the corner of “Meth” and “That...
Blast From The Past: Palin Refuses to Back Down... →
From March 29, 2010.
Former GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is refusing to back down from her provocative rhetoric from the past week, which some say is encouraging violence against Democratic lawmakers who supported the health care reform bill.
In fact, Palin took to her Facebook page Sunday night to taunt her critics.
In a note entitled, “Warning: Subject to New...

Now, I’m not saying the left hasn’t used targeting metaphors, and even gun metaphors in their rhetoric.
But actual gun violence is - at least in America - seems to be the purveyance of the fringe right, justified by an extreme view of the constitution, spurred on by voices like Beck and Palin, and armed to the teeth courtesy of a well-funded (and well armed) gun lobby/militia.

Oh Entertainment tonight, is there anything you can make more vapid?
Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, shot Saturday, allegedly by 22-year old Jared Lee Loughner, is cousins with actress Gwyneth Paltrow, Entertainment Tonight reports.
The show’s website reports that Paltrow and Giffords are cousins, but have not met. Paltrow released a statement on Sunday, saying, “Although I have never...

It’s a tragedy, plain and simple, one of the most horrible things that happened in my lifetime. Couple it with the death of a small child, it’s magnified by 1000 fold.
Prayers, thoughts and condolences should go out to everyone involved.
But culpability should be taken as well, and others have said it better than I.

What some people call “make political hay” I call figuring out root causes.
What some people call a senseless act, I call terrorism and assassination.
Of course since this reflects poorly on the “lock and load” crowd, It makes sense they’re asking for restraint now.
That’s why the health care vote was postponed. Having the newly elected congressmen spew their...

2:30 PM ET Chilling
While there is no evidence at this point to suggest that the shooting was politically motivated,Matt Yglesias points out that an anti-Giffords event was held in June with the billing: “Get on Target for Victory in November. Help remove Gabrielle Giffords from office. Shoot a fully automatic M16 with Jesse Kelly.”
Rep. Giffords was also on Sarah Palin’s...
