Big trouble……….

For me and trying not to spend money. While out exploring the nether regions of Shopping Mall USA, we stumbled across this place: We went there for lunch both days running this weekend-an expensive indulgence ( the sandwhich I like is $6.39-but it is soooo good!). The bread is primo

Looking better and better………

The idea of buying a Mac that is. Came home after a hard day of dragging the S.O. from store to store to  buy all of the stupid stuff things she wants to get for domestic life, and found that I could not log into MY side of the new

Gay marriage-Part II

You can build a thousand bridges, and is it “Skippy the bridgebuilder?” But just savage same sex relationships, sex, lies, and marriage, even once-and that is all they remember you for………….. To all of those who were able to reaffirm their own high opinion of themselves and how superior they

Speaking of bitter racists……..

I’m pretty sure the Obama campaign would have a fit about this if it aired in the United States: Japan Probe points out that some blogs have portrayed this as racist, but e-mobile has used this mascot for a while. I think the press would have a field day with

Call me silly-I was rooting for Rocco……..

“Golf and  sex are about the only things you can enjoy without being good at it.” –Jimmy Demaret Well at least I got to play golf yesterday. Tried for a trifecta………but alas “the tired fairy” showed up. And part of that lack of performance on the S.O.’s part can be

She understands

Madam Chiang has a post about me. She points out that what women want these days is a Retrosexual. Once, men were simply men. But then feminists decided they were chauvinist pigs who didn’t spend enough time doing the dishes. So along came the guilt-ridden New Man, swiftly followed by

Moment of clarity

My Canadian counterpart gets it. Its not about whether the folks in GTMO are legal or illegal combatants. Despite what anyone tells you, anti-terror laws do not necessarily prevent attacks, they just make the investigations and subsequent prosecutions easier. And since the United States Supreme Court effectively destroyed the avenue
