Oh, the NBA…

Where else could the 9th seed in one conference be the 4th seed in another?

Some thoughts on Al Gore and Barack Obama.

Sometimes, silence can speak volumes.
Al Gore can’t publicly endorse Barack Obama. Its virtually unthinkable that he would publicly do that because it would be such a slap in the face to what essential amounts to his political family. But, by not doing anything he essentially says that he doesn’t support Hillary for President. There’s [...]

Web Round-up

Nothing to do on the internet? I have some links that might entertain you:
1. Naked Man Ad Riles Hub Catholics – This article isn’t anything special, but you should check out the advertisement it is referring to…hilarious. By the way, when did nuns become hot 20-somethings with artistic talent?

say goodbye to Rudy.

Well its all over for Rudolph Giuliani. And once again, Mitt Romney, the consummate jackass, interrupted another candidate’s concession speech to deliver his own…concession speech.
Where that leaves this race is, well, almost over. Giuliani is likely to endorse John McCain, and Romney’s second place finish yet again denies him the traction he needs to seriously [...]

Today, God’s waiting room gets to vote…

Meanwhile, Romney and McCain are essentially tied. [...]

The Album “The Odd Couple” leaked last week. In my opinion, the hands down best track is “Who’s Gonna Save My Soul?”
TSS (The Smoking Section) is up on another leaked track, called “Run.” You need to hit up TSS to get the link, since I ain’t sheisty enough to just plain scoop their hard [...]

The case for Barack Obama

It’s time to write the diary it feels like I’ve waited a lifetime to write.
This story requires an introduction and an explanation, and there’s no better place to start than the beginning. I grew up fascinated with the presidency, reading every book I could get my hands on and memorizing my “President’s Cards”, which are [...]
