A Word About Football And The Pittsburgh Steelers

It's a love/hate sport, I know. But that old cliche works in my household. I happen to love football; my fiance hates it. She opts to work on Sundays, which frees up the day (most of the time) for myself. Now, don't get me wrong. I am not a fanatic, like some people. My brother can spout statistics...

New Weblog And Discovery of An Informative Website

In an effort to keep up with the crippling political and military effort forced upon us by that megalomaniac in the White House, I have decided to begin another blog, titled " Bush's War, or The War Of The Gulf." It will highlight events pertaining to the War in Iraq, the casualties, and... Sign in to see full entry.

Taking It Personally

Ever take it personally, something that you probably shouldn't, something that reflects a bit of deep personal involvement that may not warrant said involvement or commitment? Like maybe a loss by your favorite football team? This feeling, when it comes, leaves you disappointed, frustrated,... Sign in to see full entry.

Influencing The Vote

Many things can influence the way people vote. The facts and the issues, hopefully, are the foremost things that influence a particular voter's mind. It is hard to vote against what you beleive in. Then there are the spin zones of fact or of information given as fact. These can be downright bald... Sign in to see full entry.

Please, Allow Me To Correct A Misstatement

A couple of days ago I wrote a piece on how the Washington Redskins have accurately (and coincidentally) predicted the winner of the presidential election by whether the won or lost. If they won, the winner would be a Republican. If they lost, a Democrat. Boy, did I screw up. And, unlike a certain... Sign in to see full entry.

Divorce Practicum 101: Pre-Divorce Dos and Don'ts

Detroit family court Judge J. William Callahan says that the divorces and custody battles that have come before him are so messy and contentious that he suggests that parties wishing to divorce need attend a class that shows them how to do it correctly. Sort of a pre-divorce counseling class. He is... Sign in to see full entry.

Washington Redskins Predict Republican Presidents

An interesting coincidence has come to light in the last few days. It seems that the National Football League's Washington Redskins have won their games on the Sunday preceding Election Day every time a Republican has won the election for the last seven decades. Amazing. So, if you Kerry voters are... Sign in to see full entry.

Must-Read List Before The Election

There are several books that are must reading throughout your life. Sometimes those books need to be perused before a certain time in your life, like Catcher In The Rye before graduating high school. The upcoming election is one such time also. A great many people are considering it the most... Sign in to see full entry.

Who Needs Miss America When You Can Be The Swan?

The Fox Network has a pretty successful show on their hands in The Swan, where the idea is to take two decidedly ugly people (both physically and emotionally/psychologically), give them complete body and mind makeovers, then pick one to compete in a pageant at season's end. It is an amazing thing to... Sign in to see full entry.

Dubya the Facilitator, Annointed Of God

It is becoming all too clear and increasingly alarming that our current president is on a mission, a mission from god, if you will. His constant referrals to "god's will" and allusions to what god wants for America and for the world are equally disturbing. His statement at the last debate about how... Sign in to see full entry.
