* Official Announcement *
The government today announced that it is changing its emblem from an Eagle to a CONDOM because it more accurately reflects the government’s political stance. A condom allows for inflation, halts production, destroys the next generation, protects a bunch of pricks, and gives you a sense of security while you’re actually [...]

Very busy this week, trying to get all my ducks in a row before I leave for vacation, a canoe trip in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area on the border between Minnestoa and Canada—away from all things electronic. Halleluja!!
Peggy Noonan, of the Wall Street Journal, has penned a great article in the aftermath of Katrina [...]

It is a new century so I guess some felt it was about time for another Scopes Monkey Trial. Arguments are underway in Pennsylvania where a law suit has been filed against a school district which is requiring that Intelligent Design be mentioned in science class.

“Hello. My name is Sean and I’m a musiholic.”
I listen to music all the time. I wear headphones at work, always have music on in the car, and most of the time when I am at home. I love my iPod. Music is in my blood somehow. There is just something about setting words to [...]

You are pretty evenly split down the middle – a total eunuch. Okay, kidding about the eunuch part. But you do get along with both sexes. You reject traditional gender roles. However, you don’t actively fight them. You’re just you. You don’t try to be what people expect you [...]

There is so much unbelievable crap out there I hardly know where to begin, but I’ll start here. I don’t pretend to be a foreign policy expert, but does this whole North Korea thing sound completely bass ackwards to anyone else? Can someone explain to me the nuance here? I realize the analogy is imperfect, [...]

How come people slow down to 60 mph when there is a cop hiding in the median? The speed limit is sixty-five. He is not going to pull you over for doing the speed limit! He’s not even going to pull you over for the rebellious, hell-raising, your-mother-taught-you-better speed of 70 mph, so what’s the [...]
