My hometown has officially gone insane. All this Code Orange bullshit has officially sent the residents of Washington, D.C. over the collective edge. These people, many of them normally senitent individuals, have become convinced that duct tape and plastic will save them from everything. I still read the Washington Post online, because they are one ...

Man, people do scary shit to their pets…

Who wants to be an Intern for President Clinton? The punchlines write themselves. Thanks to Weigel

Forgot to post updates for the last couple days. Let me bring you up to speed. I just got back from working the Car Show Gala at McCormick Place convention center in downtown Chicago. If you click the link, I was tending bar right across from that silver concept car, but you can’t see where ...

I love that show, and it’s a goddamn crime it’s not out on DVD yet. I was searching for info on a possible release when I stumbled across yet another pointless quiz: Which Animaniacs Character Are You? Which Animaniacs Character are You? Yakko. Talkative, huh?

Isn’t somebody going to get tired of this after about year 239? Stolen from Dave Barry’s weblog. Yes, that Dave Barry.

I am now a stepaunt six times over! Karen, my stepsister-in-law, gave birth to Emily Leah Kremer at about 11:30 this (ok, now technically yesterday) morning. The kid was 7 pounds, 8 ounces, healthy, and blinking curiously every time someone took a picture (approximately 58,000 times), so everybody’s happy. Emily is going to be called ...

Thanks to Weigel for this one: What Country Are You? You’re the Falkland Islands! You’re pretty insignificant in the big picture, but when you have influence, it affects the most important people in your world. Sadly, you don’t have much of a will or voice of your own, and it’s hard to develop it when ...

I went to the International House of Pancakes this evening, having my traditional scrambled eggs and bacon. Alas, what I could not have was my traditional pancakes and hash browns on top of this. Silly Atkins diet. At least I know I won’t have a protein deficiency… I did get to cajole Mark into downing ...
