*Pant* *Wheeze* *Pant* *Cough Cough*
Nothing quite like a mid-day fire drill with a quick 6 story upwards jaunt to remind one just how out of shape one has gotten. Stupid sedentary lifestyle.

A Turning Of The Tables May Be In Order
CNN disgusts me. Their sickening justification for posting blatant jihadi propaganda snuff films of snipers shooting American troops in Iraq is simply appalling. “We know it’s propaganda, but, well, it serves our political ends of making the war in Iraq…
Now THAT’S What I Call “Social Engineering”
Sheer genius: tired of being ticketed for parking your vehicle in loading/unloading zones in tight urban environs? Why not employ some urban camouflage? Sweet.
Am I Raising A Boy Or A Monkey?
I entered my son’s room this morning at the oh-so-wonderful hour of 5am. Awoken from my blissful sleep by his hungry cries, I expected a pleasant reception from my progeny. Instead, my boy had somehow figured out how to remove…

(Yes, that was a Strong Bad reference). I was about to have a coronary on my commute in this morning, as I had made the classic mistake of tuning in to NPR in lieu of the cruder-yet-somehow-more-morally-uplifting fare peddled by…
Criticizing “The Critic”
As I sit here watching the NFL on Fox, I find myself wondering: does Jon Lovitz ever get the nagging feeling that he’s reached the lowest point of his career, with his series of Subway restaurant ads? Or does he…
