Politics Goes To The Dogs

And I’m not going to take it any­more. With Fred drop­ping out, Kat asked me who I was going to vote for. I really didn’t have an answer. None of the exist­ing can­di­dates really make my loins quiver. So I was at a loss. But then some­thing hap­pened today that made it clear to me …

Depression

Fred Thomp­son dropped out this past week­end and I feel exactly like Lib­erty Belle. Well, except for the whole thing about being in love with Fred Thomp­son. But except for that, I feel exactly like she does.

RIP, Georgia Frontiere

For my non-football fol­low­ing read­ers (which is, umm, all of them prob­a­bly), Geor­gia Fron­tiere was the owner of the St. Louis Rams, pre­vi­ously the Los Ange­les Rams. In a world dri­ven by testos­terone, Geor­gia didn’t exactly fit but she ran a good fran­chise and truly cared for her play­ers and employ­ees, some­thing that’s typ­i­cally lack­ing …

New Toys

I’m writ­ing this post from my new Dell Insp­iron 1720 that I got for my new gig with Improv­ing. It’s a pretty sweet machine, not exactly a Mac­book Pro but it’s still pretty cool. I didn’t get all the bells and whis­tles but it’s pretty close. It’s got 17 inch screen which isn’t some­thing I’ve …

Thompson Actually Has An Energy Plan

…beyond beg­ging the Saudis to increase pro­duc­tion. He also has a tax plan and an immi­gra­tion plan and a Social Secu­rity plan. And the funny thing is, they really are plans, they are detailed and pointed and could actu­ally help the prob­lems. Instead, we as a nation seem intent on elect­ing peo­ple who are sound­bite …

Signs of the Apocalypse

At my pre­vi­ous job, one of my co-workers was kind of a con­spir­acy the­o­rist ala Dale from King of the Hill. He was sure the black heli­copters would be sweep­ing in over the hori­zon any day and he was always ready to repel them for as long as he could. Now, I’m all about self-sufficiency …

Random Update

I haven’t felt much like doing any­thing lately, much less writ­ing so it’s been quiet around the Exper­i­ment. How­ever, I think things are turn­ing around as the days are get­ting longer, I’m start­ing to exer­cise again and I start a new job today. So go me. I’m com­ing up with my New Year’s Res­o­lu­tions + …
