In response to an article on Slate sent to me by a friend. I couldn't let the opportunity go without passing some sort of judgment. Let's assume that some of the article is conjecture, and that the Saudis are indeed working on getting the textbooks updated. The level of bureaucracy that is steeped in this monarchy is insurmountable. And to think Americans complain about government slowdowns here (yet lefties still want a wholly government run public health care system!).One question could be... Read Full Story
A couple of things dropped in my inbox the last 10 days while I was away: In fairness, John McCain's remarks recently about letting cigarettes kill Iranians comes off as boorish. However, we cannot excuse Obama for his past voting record, or even his current sidestepping and big talking tactics. Why is this occurring when someone like Hillary gets skewered (or we could even go to President Bush for a reference on being torched by the media). What is the love affair with an inexperienced...

As the Celtics revel in an updated NBA championship banner, we often gloss over the 'tragedy' that the storied franchise endured, with the aging of Bird, McHale ,Parish, and then the deaths of Reggie Lewis and Len Bias. What we need to focus on is the curtailing effects felt in Suitland, MD, where the Bias' called home. On this 22 year anniversary of Len Bias' tragic death, ESPN put out an article detailing the cause and effect of his passing, as well as the ongoing tragedy of the Bias... Read Full Story
PSA for all people who may have ADT come out and fix stuff at their home. Last week, our card key reader stopped functioning on our exterior door. We could still get into the building with our keys, and the alarm itself was still functioning. Our Office Admin called ADT to come fix the situation.Wed. - no one showed up. Thursday - called again, was told we were in the queue. Friday - again, no one showed up. There was a promise that we would be second on the list for Monday. Here comes Monday... Read Full Story
I made this a couple of times already, but keep forgetting to post up here for future usage. I use the already peeled and deviened without the tail. I tried it the way in the recipe, but it was a lot of work. Once, I had to substitue shallots for onions, and it worked okay, but it is actually better with the shallots.INGREDIENTS:1 pound linguini 4 tablespoons butter 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling 1 large shallot, finely diced 5 cloves garlic, sliced Pinch red...

This guy has some funny anti-inspiration pictures that most of us saw in the 90's creeping into our office spaces. When the first came through at the game testing place, I was all for it and inspired. Now, when I see the motivational ploys, it kind of gets me down that my employer would think that a simple picture would motivate me. Being proud of what you do is more of a factor than some wall hanging. Plus, I have an issue with motivation if it is forced, which is why I strayed from joining... Read Full Story
The Ear has popped! Check out the nasty ear on The Colossus. Early stoppage on this was a joke, as was the previous fight with the Hands of Steel. EliteXC looks a little second class to UFC right now with its fighter pedigree. It would be interesting to see Kimbo take on the likes of Frank Mir, or even Brock Lesnar.

A few weeks ago, I posted an article about Renaldo liking Men, and a reader noted to me, among other things, that you have to be obese to play American football. I replied back that this site is not about obese people. So you know it must be importantly ironic that I post this video about how obese people (or at least the foundation fighting obesity) hurt the environment and contribute to global warming.Is it me, or do you feel dumber after watching that video?Her point about the airlines...
