I am not a violent man. In fact, I’m quite docile. But it’s a low-key Friday night and I’m staying in and watching last night’s episode of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart on the DVR. The opening segment is about Glenn Beck — and it’s got me riled up. I’ve never really wished [...]

The oil spill in the Gulf has been stopped, at least for now. That’s a good thing. And I understand it’s a terrible environmental disaster. Shrimp, fish, and other aquatic animals we can’t see, are probably devastated. But more often than not, the coverage on CNN is of oil-soaked birds either dead [...] Happy Birthday, Dad! I don’t have any pictures of my dad on par with the awesome pic I have of my mom, but a picture of him trying to impersonate Mao Zedong last summer in Beijing right in front a guard is probably good enough. I’m just thankful we weren’t thrown in jail [...]  Just got back from the Caponiti wedding in DC. It was a great time, and an even greater wedding. Everything was really well done, from the ceremony to the reception to the dance party later. And as the nun of the church reminded us before the wedding started, Christ was present (we were all [...] 
Yesterday was some awesome soccer. Mostly because it involved a team of fake fans, fake players, and a terrible dictator getting thoroughly embarrassed, live — AND SOME ACTUAL SCORING!!! Portugal beat North Korea 7-0, a score that Americans can finally relate to. With the World Cup scoring down in the first round, I [...]  The time for the US-England World Cup game is almost upon is. Headed over to some random friend-of-a-friend’s house to watch it and BBQ a bit. I wanted to make sure I was fully prepared for the match, so I did a little homework. Google introduced me to this interesting database: The Racial [...] (A “thanks” to my dad for bringing my attention to this article. Finally sent a good story. Though, Elton John singing at Rush Limbaugh’s most recent wedding was close to making the cut…) - – – – – – – – – – – - I guess, by comparison, Hispanics in Arizona don’t have [...]  Arizona. A truly amazing state. Amazing for all the wrong reasons: On Saturday, the public rallied at Miller Valley Elementary School in Prescott, Arizona, to save the murals on the wall outside the school. School officials had asked the artists to “Lighten up the forehead and the cheeks” of one of the students depicted [...]  Hate the game. From our good friend Matthew Lewis over at The Bullied Pulpit via a recent Pew Research study: Very interesting, but logical correlation. Mr. Lewis’ commentary: Process over Policy, Pundits vs Political Scientists The Pew Research Study w/ more graphs and info: It’s All About Jobs, Except When It’s Not [...]  (A follow up to my previous post). Pretty self-explanatory: From The Daily Show last night. |
