Required Reading

Because I haven’t offended enough people lately, I bought a new book today — The God Delusion:

“Richard Dawkins, whom Discover magazine recently called “Darwin’s Rottweiler” for his fierce and effective defense of evolution, now turns his considerable intellect on religion, denouncing its faulty logic and the suffering it causes. He eviscerates the major arguments for [...]

Worth a Thousand Words

I don’t know the story behind this picture. I don’t really care. The guy is watching Glenn Beck while surrounded by a huge cache of guns all while draped in an American Flag, so it perpetuates all the stereotypes I’m looking for. That’s good enough to make it on this blog.
Or maybe he’s just preparing [...]

Terminating Emory

So, California is bankrupt, isn’t it? But I’ve seen The Governator all over the place recently. He was at the NBA All-Star weekend, he might have been at the Olympics in Vancouver, and now he’ll be at the coolest place on earth: Emory University.
Here is the BREAKING NEWS I just received:

When I graduated, we had [...]

Stuff For Kids Who Can Read Good

I always find too many informative political and economic articles to share, so I’ll select a few and throw them all in to one post of important stuff you should read to get your week started:
1. Maybe we shouldn’t be blaming our leaders for not being able to lead:
A thought-provoking read from Slate.com: Down With [...]

First World Country?

Citizens of the leading country of the free world shouldn’t be having issues like this:
Thank you for taking a few moments out of your day to view my story. My name is Terri Carlson. I am 45 and was born with a genetic immune disorder C-4 complement deficiency. I am currently on [...]

Not Super

Now that football season is almost over, The Great Wahl is going to be struggling for regular content. I guess that means I will have to revert back to my pre-NFL blogging about politics, economics, and random nonsense (like a hamster on a guitar eating popcorn).
But for now, I’ll start in the political realm. As [...]

White Men Can Insert Foot Into Mouth

We might not have the best vertical leaping ability. But we sure do a good job of making idiots of ourselves.
There really isn’t much commentary to add to this story. It pretty much speaks for itself. Consistently crazy Rod Blagojevich manages again to make headlines for all the wrong reasons saying that he is/was/always will [...]

Time to Move On

Still physically ill over the Packer game. But I have to take baby steps to get over the loss. Some good Daily Show bashing of Fox News is leading me in the right direction:

Cash For Cancer

I’ve been participating an obviously morbid Death Pool for the past two years. And in two years, I haven’t had anyone die. Here’s my old list from 2008 and 2009:
1. Nancy Reagan
2. Fidel Castro
3. Queen Elizabeth II
4. William Ford, Sr.
5. Barbara Bush
6. Sumner Redstone
7. Amy Winehouse
8. Wilford Brimley
9. Marv Levy
10. Andy Griffith
Seif won 2009 with [...]

Rotten Tomatoes

This one is pretty self-explanatory:
A Costco in Utah took tomatoes off the shelves during a visit by Sarah Palin, after someone threw tomatoes at the Alaska Governor (and missed) on a stop at the Mall of America. Via Harpers, the Salt Lake Tribune reports:
Rappaport stopped at the Salt Lake City Costco to do some shopping, [...]
