Happy Birthday, Stevie!

Hey, last week, did you wish a happy birthday to Stephen King?  He writes a LOT, but does that make him great writer?  If I eat a lot, does that make me a great eater?  Nobody can take away his originality, that’s for sure.  He blazed some new literary trails, but I kind of expected…

#newyorker magazine caption contest #351

So, like last time, you can put your caption here as a comment.  But better yet is to click on the picture, go to the New Yorker magazine website, and enter your caption in their contest.  I can’t think of much for this one. “No thanks.  We’re Amish.” Now get on with your creative bad self and…

The Odd Life of Timothy Green

  Sometimes a movie is so positive and covered with icing, sprinkles, and marshmallows that it’s very difficult to give it a negative review.  However, a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do.  The Odd Life of Timothy Green is so soft and cuddly that it belongs on the Lifetime, Disney (who created it),…

The Brainsnorts 400

No, it’s not another NASCAR event, although fans of racing would never complain about adding another race to their schedule.  It’s my event – my 400th blog post, and I couldn’t decide how I should recognize it. First, I’ll ask a question that’s pressing none of you, why “Brainsnorts”?  When I was in about 4th…

Romney: ‘Do As I Say, Not As I Do’

  Romney: ‘Inappropriate’ for Obama to Politicize Bin Laden’s Death In a completely inappropriate display of politicizing and event, Mitt Romney pretended to be a regular guy by carrying a few pizzas into a firehouse while shamelessly appearing with Mayor Giuliani in order to politicize the 11th anniversary of 9/11 and criticizing Pres. Obama for…
