It’s That Time of Year Again
Local people will hate me for writing this, and most non-locals won’t get why it’s a big deal. It is really sad funny, but I didn’t know that football season started today until about 30 minutes before the UT game. This is what is considered the real football season around here by the way, not [...]
David Lee Roth Touring With Van Halen Again
It was announced yesterday that the tour will start this fall. The lastest twist is that founding bassist Michael Anthony has been given the boot, and Van Halen’s teenage son, Wolfgang, has replaced him. Hmmm. I doubt that statement is entirely true. My guess is that because Eddie Van Halen is such a jerk, Sammy [...]
Webkinz–Who Knew?
It seems like the frenzy may not have fully hit Knoxville/East Tennessee yet, but I think a full blown Webkinz craze may be coming. It may actually already exist here, but I was unaware of it. I am admittedly out of touch with what is “cool” with young kids, and I have been for quite [...]
Blogging The Iowa Debate Part IV
McCain’s answer on Vice-Presidential powers was actually pretty funny. “Only one President.” That is a strong answer. Guiliani sounds like he’s pretty comfortable with Cheney’s roll, and Romney is defending G.W. Bush’s use of Cheney, saying it is entirely up to him. If I were President, I’d have the Vice President make sure that I [...]
Blogging The Iowa Debate Part III
It’s funny that Romney talks about speaking softly and carrying a big stick, because I was just about to say that he sure is using a low and soft voice when speaking about our military might. “We were here…they attacked us.” Half right…we were here, and there. I think Tancredo wants to protect this country? [...]
Blogging The Iowa Debate Part II
Getting a new post going here since they’ve decided to move to domestic issues. Huckabee is now in favor of nationalized health care. Why can’t this just be left up to the individual states? Huckabee buddy, I hate to tell you this, but there is way more money in illness than there is in health [...]
Blogging The Iowa Debate Part I
I DVR’d it, so I’m a little behind. First of all…does anyone actually believe that Fred Thompson is going to run? I just don’t see it happening. Romney won’t address anything in Brownback’s ad, just gives examples that contradict it. It sounds like he may be personally in pro-choice, but governs as pro-life. “I changed [...]
Great-Grandmothers, Tact, and Spanking
I had a conversation with a really nice lady while waiting outside at the OB’s office yesterday. I would have never guessed her as a great-grandmother if she hadn’t told me she was there with her granddaughter who had a 10 month old baby. We talked about a lot of things having to do with [...]
Television is to JFK as the Internet is to…
Want to take a shot at completing this analogy? I wasn’t alive back in the JFK era, but one thing that we’ve always heard about JFK is that he was the first President to really utilize television in both the elections and in his Presidency. All of the other candidates were stuck in the old [...]
Latest from the Tour de Dope
For the second straight day the stage winner has been booted from the race, this time by his own team. Michael Rasmussen was sent home by Rabobank for violating team rules. I know most people in the U.S. don’t care about the Tour now that Lance Armstrong has retired, but I can’t help it. I [...]
