You know I want to have a positive outlook on life, the universe and everything. I just can’t. It’s true that I don’t really have a lot to complain about. When I think long and hard about it I really have a LOT to be grateful for. I just can’t see the silver lining in anything these days. The economy is in a real slump and its starting to affect my friends. Luckily, it hasn’t impacted me personally (yet) but...
Read MoreEnvironmental Dissonance
I have children whom I love dearly. I want to pass along good habits and ideals to them. There is one area that is starting to drive me absolutely insane and that is this green movement. I am all for “doing your part to help the environment” but I see this turning into a circus or a joke the more it gathers momentum. Let me give you an example. Where I work the people I do support for print a...
Read MoreTake your bumper and DON’T STICK IT
I don’t care who you voted for. In case no one ever told you, that is supposed to be private. Frankly it pisses me off when I still see idiots with “vote Bill Clinton” on the back of their cars.

I do see the significance of what the man did in terms of pressing the issues of racial equality and human rights. I do believe...
Read MoreWhy do people listen to Doctors?
I’ve encountered many doctors in many settings and I’ve been able to clearly conclude that most of them are idiots. A lot of them can’t even balance their checkbooks. With all the tools available to modern medicine – the blood tests and M.R.I.’s and endoscopes – you might think that misdiagnosis has become a rare thing. But you would be wrong. Studies of autopsies have shown that doctors seriously...
Read MoreInaugural cookie tossing
I am sick to death of all the hype regarding president elect Obama’s inauguration. If I hear one more news outlet use the tired cliché that this is a “truly historical moment” I think I am going to toss my cookies, barf, vomit, upchuck, hurl..you get the idea. I was as pleased as the next fellow when Obama won the election in a clear and decisive way. I believe the man will...
