With it’s dead bird, smooshed cranberries, and watered down bread, I know that Thanksgiving is more about caloric intake and overall family and thankfulness. It’s not exactly the most romantic of holidays. But it was very much so yesterday. While I was at my parent’s house, I found the little tin container that contained all [...]

You hear these kinds of things frequently: “I believe in America…we’ll get out of this” “Americans will do what they always do, they’ll get to work and make things happen” “We’ve gone through worse” All of these are true, but I don’t think people realize the implications. This is not just economic turmoil. We’ve had [...]

So did anyone realize that our kids just bailed out Citigroup? Oh sure, it’s only 300 billion in loan “guarantees”. So yet another lug nut on the Federal debt truck is stripped off. Take a look at these Swedish bands and you’ll feel better.

Notice how the power of music enhances this precious video.

Awesome. Google and Life magazine worked to put the photo archive online.

These were going to be lyrics but I decided they couldn’t take the abuse. Seems kind of dark but it’s really quite the opposite. Plus, I always misspell lyrics as “lysrics” so there you go. — I never meant to be A grey planet in your orbit I always meant to see The strange curves [...]

What, is this guy nuts? Oil is dropping below $50, and he thinks oil is not cheap? Well, not exactly. What I mean is what we’ve learned (or should have learned) over the last 36 months. We learned that there is a theoretical limit to how much oil can be produced in a day. We [...]

Very interesting. Guess who Schiff advised economically in 2008? Was it McCain or Obama? Hint: it was neither major candidate.

Interesting post about how Guitar Hero is now driving content. This further drives home the point that the primary hole in the music world is not distribution or production. The “mp3′s are killing music” theorists would like us to think that, but the reality is that there or more options to produce great music and [...]

It is a common humanistic concept to think of our bodies as the former parts of stars. You know…”the very atoms in our bodies used to be stars…wow…aren’t we and the universe cool?” I’ve seen this in movies and songs and various manifestos. It is somewhat of a letdown, then, to think that almost all [...]

It is almost impossible to take a picture of our dog. She is completely black, and just shows up as this outline on a picture with no definition. I think they should cover stealth fighters with poodle fur. Not only would it prevent photography of these sensitive machines, could you imagine what “bad guys” would [...]

Obama Win Causes Obsessive Supporters To Realize How Empty Their Lives Are I originally embedded the video but The Onion puts some coarse things on there…so click at your own risk!

I want to like this, but I can’t.

Very simple. Fill in the blank: A vote for Obama was a vote for ______ A vote for McCain was a vote for ______ Obama filled that blank. When Republicans can fill that blank with something that’s both electable and non-humorous in light of their voting record….they’ll win again. In short, they need a little [...]

This is pretty nifty.

The Republican party needs to be utterly defeated today. This is so it can be reborn with good candidates, and some clue about what it’s philosophy is. Carter resulted in Reagan. Clinton led to a republican majority in Congress. Obama will lead to something even better if the old, crufty parts of the Republican party [...]
