While I was reading the updates, I was once again asking myself how does [...]

Puppies Outlawed As Chick Magnets

What’s next, banning men from leaving their houses with cute babies?

Attention Muslim Religious Police … you have bigger issues to deal with than pet ownership as a means to possible fornication. You have fanatics among you to condemn, women to liberate, children to educate and terrorists to destroy.

One of my girlfriends has gone GREEN. Not the trendy, drive an expensive hybrid kind of green. She’s on a mission to become self-sustaining. I knew something was brewing when she stopped shaving a few years ago. No, really. I’m not joking. And no, I don’t think [...]

Serenading the Pope With a Bit of Politics

There’s only a tiny bit of political maneuvering on the White House lawn this morning, don’t you think.
Having the U.S Army serenade the Pope, who does not support the war in Iraq, with The Battle Hymn of The Republic immediately following His Holy Father’s comments about the need for increased American diplomacy within the international [...]

In-Office Employees Less Satisfied than Telecommuters

Anyone my age (and any good manager who’s not my age) understands the value my generation has placed on flexibility, and as the following points out, “Workin’ 9 to 5 is so early ’90s.”

Regardless of Your Politics, You Must Read This

Super Tuesday has come and gone. McCain as the obvious GOP leader is unsurprising, but that the Dems are still in a dog fight and most likely will continue until the Democratic Convention, did surprise me. I thought I’d wake this morning to headlines announcing a clear front runner.
