I (and Tiffany) cooked Thanksgiving dinner this year. And it rocked. It was no grilled cheese sandwich (that's for Christmas), but it was still quite impressive. The following photodocumentation will prove as much:

I feel weird about the people, especially the 20- and 30-somethings, who are shelling out hundreds and hundreds of dollars for new video game systems that will only inadvertently drive them further away from the abundance of social interaction they really need instead ( Read more... )

This is the most wonderfully incoherent propaganda poster I've ever seen: Liberators!I've never seen such vigorous sneering at American culture. I particular enjoy the "World's Most Beautiful Leg", though I'm not sure what they're saying. Probably something about how awesome we are, and how jealous they are to be living in a land of such ugly legs ( Read more... )

You know what I think?

I think Henry Cabot Lodge would have beaten his grandson mercilessly for having run as Nixon's Vice Presidential candidate in 1960, that's what I think.

Though the elder Lodge did vote against the United States joining the League of Nations... Damned supernationalists!!

In light of the Democrats taking back the Senate and the House, I couldn't help but giggle helplessly as I thought of Liberality for All, a comicbook Sean "Inanity" Hannity produced late last year. Here's the synopsis:

‘It is 2021, tomorrow is the 20th anniversary of 9/11. America is under oppression by ultra-liberal extremists who have ( Read more... )

I've almost finished reading, again, this The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt. I have only 100 or so pages left, so I thought I'd go out somewhere and get through them ( Read more... )

The university sponsors a monthly bus trip into Washington, DC, so Tiffany and I went along yesterday. We really spent the day in a series of abbreviated laps around numerous museums and galleries, but the objects of our careful aversion were very impressive: the Hirshorn Gallery, the National Air and Space Museum, the Freer Gallery, the National ( Read more... )

I wrote a review of an Aerosmith concert I attended last weekend. I'm still waiting to see if they'll use it in The Picket. I think my articles may be a little too...what's a word for "It's nice, what you wrote, but I don't think anyone really wants to read it"?

Anyway, in lieu of it appearing nowhere else, here's my review.

Happy birthday, me.
