The Nuts Are Running The Squirrel House

Florida farmers expressed concern after finding out that […]

If you’ve been watching the news lately, you know that Don Imus is taking heat for referring to the Rutgers women’s basketball team as “nappy-headed hos”. Many people, including Al Sharpton, are calling for his firing. Please allow me a two-part rant.
Part 1: Don Imus
Seriously, unless a person has been under a rock […]

 Giles Walter Baron was a well-to-do man. He and his wife Lillian lived in an affluent neighborhood, in a large mansion on the edge of a forest. Although his young life had been exciting (due largely to his many vices), his present life was consumed by what seemed a very simple vice: honey.

Well, President Bush is going to disclose his plan for Iraq tomorrow. I see it going one of three ways:
1. He listens to Congress and the American people and announces that we will have a definite exit strategy. He and Cheney then resign, allowing Nancy Pelosi and Congress to set about the work […]

A fun way to smash hopes after voting is to call a friend of the opposite political party and remind them that your vote cancelled theirs out.  It’s especially fun if they waited in line for 4 hours.
