In one of my many incarnations, I spend time doing some consultnig-freelancing work in the mornings, and yesterday the office conversation turned–among the single women–to love and marriage, and somehow I was asked my opinion.
Evidently, the conversation began when one of the young women read an article about another woman who had admitted to marrying [...]

Life magazine, that is. Time has once again pulled the plug on the once-venerable institution of Life magazine, but vows to keep it going online.
Maybe they should resurrect it online as YouLife and focus on people’s videos of everyday life. That might work better.
Okay, Time, I’ll sell you this idea for a cool million, or [...]

I’ve just finished watching the UNC-Georgetown Elite Eight basketball showdown. Now, it was indeed a good game to watch, but what struck me was this:
Patrick Ewing Jr., son of Georgetown and New York Knicks basketball legend Patrick Ewing Sr., is on the current Hoyas team, which prevailed in the end. What cracked me up was [...]

Half of me wants to poke fun at the silly people, silly decisions and silly happenings of the world; the other half wants to rant and rave about liberal (Demofiend) schemes to wreak havoc upon our pocketbooks and national muscle.

Now I’m not advising anyone to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day by drinking, but that does seem to be one of the byproducts of the celebration.
Which is fairly curious given that…

Catch this–it’s almost as big a bit of news as what the article itself states. In a Tuesday, March 13, 2007, article, none other than that venerable liberal bastion known as the New York Times called into question the “inaccuracies” and “hype” in the Oscar documentary “An Inconvenient Truth” by Al Gore!
Gore immediately defended himself by saying [...]

Federal authorities have been stepping up their efforts to locate a “person of interest,” who calls himself “The Bishop,” since he mailed incomplete explosive devices to financial services companies in the United States several weeks ago. A forensic investigation has been under way since early February, and offers of a reward (up to [...]

U.S., Iranian and Syrian diplomats met in Baghdad on March 10 to discuss the future of Iraq. Shortly afterward, everyone went out of their way to emphasize that the meetings either did not mean anything or that they were not formally one-on-one, which meant that other parties were [...]

I’ll refrain from calling them Demofiends for a second or two (not that they’re not that; they are), but having Democrats in power for a while is a nice counterbalance to Republican rule. Let’s face it: There’s a huge moralistic movement within the GOPers, and I don’t always agree with that agenda.
Outside of politics (which the [...]
