A Special Open Letter to Mike Huckabee
Dear former Republican Presidential Candidate and Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, I understand how one could be possessed to want to be on a Fox News July 4 Special looking all spiffy in your different array of suits with your hair slicked back hair (note that some of the time he’s wearing a different suit to [...]
Why the oil spill is an economy killer
For more than 40 days now, BP – formerly British Petroleum but now just “BP” – has failed time after time to cap the steadily leaking oil well in the Gulf of Mexico. And from the looks of these two Newsweek articles on the political fallout and the fact that BP and the federal government [...]
Greatest political ad ever
Indeed, this could be the best political ad EVER shot. You’ve got to watch it. I love how the guy is locked and loaded and ready to take no prisoners to get the Republican nomination for Agriculture Commissioner in Alabama.
Where the Gold At?
Back when I was at Auburn, this is one of the few Internet memes that blew through my life quickly and gave me a good laugh. How happy I was to see the other day that indeed, there is a website in tribute of the little man. Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Don’t forget to wear [...]
More thoughts on music
I was feeling in a generous mood when I was driving my cousin from place to place this week, and decided that I’d let her listen to “her” music station. For someone growing up in this particular time, she is what I would classify as a “normal” teenager when it comes to her tastes. She [...]
And then the phone beeped again
While here in Huntsville this week, I’ve been keeping an eye on my cousin while my aunt recuperates from a scheduled procedure. She’s fine, and I’m not going into any details. Don’t ask. During my couple of days here so far, Jess has had her phone in permanent beep mode. It never stops with its [...]
One weird little dog
I’m in Huntsville this week, and since I forced my cousin to go to school today I’m here at home, waiting for the plumber alone and doing some work. My companions for the day are the tiny Chihuahua Raven, and a mutt of a cat named Niko. Raven, or Ray Ray, is one heck of [...]
I voted
Yesterday I had an early morning assignment (on my day off no less, but it had to be done at that time) so I got up, showered and whatnot and got that out of the way in about 30 minutes time. When I came back into the office, I’d not yet decided whether I’d make [...]
Barkley for Governor
If he does indeed run in the 2014 election, I’ll vote for him. My favorite quote from this Q&A session with Campbell Brown from CNN: Barkley: I am, I can’t screw up Alabama. Brown: There is no place to go but up in your view? Barkley: We are number 48 in everything and Arkansas and [...]
Gotta love the Hurricane chasers
Hurricanes aren’t something to sneeze at. I should know, having lived on the coast at one time, evacuated twice and had tropical storms hit Auburn at least twice while I went to school there. I remember one time working at the dorm we had problems after one tropical storm when the basement water pumps stopped [...]
