The most interesting man in the world

WHEN HE'S  PULLED OVER FOR EXCEEDING THE LEGAL LIMIT, THEY RAISE THE LEGAL LIMIT

Self serving? for once, not


How are the Republican Party and the NRA alike? Really, at one time they both served the public interest, not their own

The NCAA Games


The NCAA has a quartet of games two days before the field of 64 really begins; some call it round one, some want to call it "play in" games but they're both wrong. They should call it the four – play games, an accurate and somewhat eye-catching title.

An interesting distinction


One of the distinctions we  hopefully learn as we get older is that  there is a big difference between what we can control and what we can predict.

The room that was empty...


Last week at  CPAC (the event/revival/pre-convention for republican conservative stars) there was an interesting sidelight: namely  there was a room where they had a "Minority panel". And the room was virtually empty.

To Republicans; Forget theology & ideology...learn biology


Ana Navarro, Republican strategist on "This Week" give an interesting "biblical" parallel to the Republican CPAC convention. She bragged about the "diversity" of the points of view, and said it was like Noah's  Ark "one of everything". Dear Ana, if you believe the story literally of Noah's Ark you should really know they had "two" of everything or later they would've had none of everything. For you guys to get better on Bible stuff you are going to have to get better on biological stuff.

General malfeasance by a Lt. Col. 


Lt. Col. Joseph Morse is under investigation by the army's criminal investigation command for groping a female army lawyer during a legal conference in Northern Virginia in 2011. What makes this case fascinating is that the army is attempting to train prosecutors to handle physical abuse and sexual abuse cases. And, that happens to be the exact job description of the above mentioned Joseph Morse. So forgive the play on words, but lets put this in "Morse" code; You are supposed to "handle" sexual abuse cases, not "handle" the females that work with you.

Common Wisdom

Regarding our cosmic view of "men" and "women" consider this; common wisdom is that we always LOSE to Father Time, but GET the gift of life from Mother Nature

The art of the deal

In business as in life it's always a work in progress to stay on top of a guy who deals from the bottom.

On Addiction Predictions

The movements to legalize marijuana have (as have many things) divided our country. 49% favor it and 48% oppose it and those that oppose it point out (correctly) that a certain amount of people will definitely become addicted. But and it's a big but, putting aside that marijuana by almost all accounts is far less lethal than alcohol or tobacco, just how does it stack up habit wise, particularly for those that begin using as teenagers? Here are the numbers as to just how many will become addicted; 9% of the people who smoke marijuana, 15% of the people who drink, and 32% of smokers will never quit. Isn’t it ironic that the substance which is the least addictive (on many levels) and is the least dangerous has by far the greatest legal consequences?

Global warming, global cooling, Global fooling

Record weather events of the snow and ice variety are going  to be hitting  the Southeast in the next day or two and yet Alaska is experiencing some record warm temperatures. How wacky are these changes in the climate? This couldn't be the reason why they call it climate change, could it? Yes possible snow and ice in the deep south, and flash floods in Alaska in the winter, wow that's climate fooling.

The faux religious

 One knack the faux religious have is they do all the "right" things but none of the important ones

Mutt in your eye

For 100 years Westminster dog show has been for only the "pure" of breed but now at least a partial change has been made, and for the better. Mongrels - or mutts as those  of mixed parentage might be called - are going to be allowed to compete in the show at least in the agility areas. They won't be allowed as yet to compete for best of show but ask anyone who has a rescue dog there, they win best of heart, every time. And so to all those newly eligible beasts...here's Mutt in your eye.

A real Beck-er head

We have a new high in reaching a new low and  that has been done by one Gregory Beck, an elected school board member in the town of Brookfield, Connecticut. Brookfield is a neighboring town to Newtown which of course was the scene of the awful tragedy on December 14, 2012. So in homage to those 26 victims there has been declared "26 days of kindness" in the Newtown area and here's how Mr. Beck plans to "celebrate" those days. He will give out ammunition to all of his friends on each of those days as his way of "commemorating" the gun violence perpetrated on 26 innocent victims. Now that's a real Beck-er head.

Newsflash on Liz Cheney

Newsflash; Liz Cheney has announced she's dropping out of the race for the Republican senate  nomination in Wyoming because of "serious health issues" surrounding her family. Yes her freakin candidacy was on life support due to  her idiotic political and social positions. Oh, by the by, her dad Dick said that she was going to win without a doubt. Another slam dunk, Darth.
