Kinda looking forward to the next “chapter,” aren’t you?

When I was a kid, my dad taught me how to make copper bracelets using the core of coaxial cable and some clear varnish. For the most part they came out pretty awesome. You could brade the copper into a nice look, and by clear-coating it, you stop it from turning green on [...]

I gotta give credit to Justin Bieber; this was a real class move and the kid’s got a good heart.

Well done, Justin.

I know normally I’d be all annoyed because the girl cried then got a reward for it, but you know what? Fine. I’ll be a hypocrite. This is still a sweet [...]

If you’re in the market for eyeglasses, you’ve undoubtedly discovered the one thing everyone has discovered. They’re expensive. Very expensive.

Oh sure, you can go with your eyeglass plan from your union, but have you seen the frames you can pick from that are “union frames?” Really? I don’t know about you, [...]

After all… Lying to Congress is a crime…

“Lying to the Congress of the United States is a crime, and if the Speaker is accusing the CIA and other intelligence officials of lying or misleading the Congress, then they should come forward with evidence and turn that over to the Justice Department so that they [...]

This morning I kinda got annoyed with Donald Trump in my post about the finale of Celebrity Apprentice. Frankly, by picking Joan Rivers, he earned some scorn and for all his talk about professionalism, integrity, and business sense, he picked the old broad because she was feisty.

Today, however, he stood behind Carrie Prejean and [...]

I’m not usually moved by words, but this really got me…

“Ever since China was awarded the Olympic Games and pursued them as a national prestige project, the flame no longer stands for fairness and peace. It now also symbolizes a repressive regime which battles ambitions for autonomy like in Tibet, which hurts human rights and [...]

Thank you, sir. I wish there were more leaders with the courage to do what you’re doing.

So, I was listening to Munchcast, the excellent junk food podcast hosted by Leo Laporte and Cammy Blackstone. The episode was for Easter, and on it Cammy mentioned an Easter Bunny cake she had been making forever and ever, so I decided to give it a go since it sounded like such a cool [...]
