Now I think I need some port

February 21, 2006 | Comments Off

From our fearless leader: One of my concerns, however, is mixed messages. And the message is, it’s okay for a British company, but a Middle Eastern company — maybe we ought not to deal the same way. It’s a mixed message. You put interesting words in your question, but I just view — my job [...]

A Public Service Announcement

February 21, 2006 | Comments Off

Hello folks. Paul here with a couple of helpful hints for all people who have difficulty purchasing their Metro fares in the morning. First of all, if you are at a bluish kiosk and the message blinks “Smartrip only,” and you hold in your hand what is a thin, paperish substance – this is not [...]

W vs. Reagan

February 20, 2006 | Comments Off

The Corner has been discussing over the weekend the difference between conservative reaction to the deficit under Reagan and the deficit under President Bush.

A movie for the whole family

February 19, 2006 | Comments Off

The Sixth Sense is currently playing on ABC Family. Now, I’m sure there’s some family-friendly theme in the movie – like not poisoning your daughter to death or some such. And at 7:00 on a Sunday night who doesn’t want to sit around the tube with the kiddies and watch a movie about some creepy [...]

That game

February 5, 2006 | Comments Off

Rumor has it there’s some sort of game being played later today. Some super game. Being on the East Coast, I was aware that the Pittsburgh Steelers were in Detroit for some reason, but I thought they were in town just to collect the Vince Lombardi trophy as a reward for winning the championship two [...]

Just a helpful reminder

February 5, 2006 | Comments Off

Good afternoon. I wanted to take this time to post a little helpful reminder that there really are no essential differences between Judeo-Christianity and Islam. Oh, sure, we might have different methods of protesting offensive cartoons but that does not mean that we are fundamentally different. What’s important, most of all, is that we value [...]

Movies – good and bad

February 4, 2006 | Comments Off

So my girlfriend finally succeeded in dragging me to see Underworld 2: Evolution. I wasn’t really thrilled to see a movie that hadn’t exactly received rave reviews. I’m not one to put too much stock in movie reviews, but a movie that had received a 15% rating on Rotten Tomatoes didn’t incite me to head [...]

An Awesome Birthday Gift

February 1, 2006 | Comments Off

I normally do not have many good things to say about the U.S. Senate, but yesterday made up for a lot of their recent milquetoast hand-wringing. Why? Because this 29-year-old received one of the best birthday gifts ever. Aw, textualism! You shouldn’t have!

Don’t know much about Math

February 1, 2006 | Comments Off

At a certain point, a single individual becomes beyond parody. Here’s the exchange from the Today Show: COURIC: He wanted to train 70,000 additional teachers in math and science. KERRY: That’s terrific. But 53 percent of our children don’t graduate from high school. Kids don’t have after-school programs… He didn’t ask America to sacrifice anything [...]

Outrage!

February 1, 2006 | Comments Off

Cindy Sheehan was removed from the State of the Union speech last night for wearing an anti-war tee-shirt. This is an outrageous stifling of dissent, and yet another example of the horrible intolerance so prevelent in John Ashcroft’s Alberto Gonzales’s America. And she was not the only one to be removed from the scene last [...]

Enter Wagner

February 1, 2006 | Comments Off

Tuck you in, warm withinKeep you free from sin’til the – Wagner – he comes? It is a one run game in New York entering the bottom of the ninth. The bullpen door opens, as the familiar opening chords of Metallica’s “Enter Sandman” blare over the PA system. Out walks… Billy Wagner? You look around [...]
