I totally agree. That is where my brain has gone -- I guess I'd hate to be found by a stranger, but I'd rather be found by a stranger than be Terri Shaivo.

I dunno. Looking back on it, he was a bit nuts. He'd sit in a very junky yard staring into space and waving sort of crazily when he saw someone. AND CLEAR THE ROAD WHEN HE DROVE! . Still: I had no idea he was a former maestro. His house was full of trash, yet he (in a previous life) lead an orchestra?! Devastated by the lost of his wife -- did he ever recover? And to be found by a

Yup, that's right. What a freakin' mess. I change my mind on this all the time. Flat tax? National Sales tax? What? I used to own a small retail store --- don't ask -- Sales tax was the biggest pain in the rear there was. Then, when I travel to poorer countries I think: we ain't got it so bad. That said, we ain't got it so good, either.

please read my latest post (My Blue Neighbor) and you'll see why -- just a possibility -- my sense of humor may be, err, lacking. No harm no fowl. Probably another day I'd of laughed my ass off. Insteady, I chose the high brow, PC route. My bad.

Again, I don't argue. I don't know why, but I'm reminded of early digital cameras and the crappy pictures they took. To this day, people insist that film is better than digital. People who aren't under deadline and uploading photos to be published in 10 minutes in China. My point: those cameras could have skuttled the future of photography. Or did they launch it?

Yesterday I was home for the holiday. I went to the gym, came home and my neighbor, Linda, was shouting at me from across the street -- "Could I do her a favor?" It seems the old man, known to me only as Crazy Guy, our neighbor, hadn't been seen since Saturday. His kids called Linda to check on Crazy Guy. She was afraid to go in his ranshackled house b

again, spin simply meant "opinion" or "thoughts" . I appreciate your opinion.

please don't use the word retarded, especially in the context. It's offensive. Obviously, I do support the special olypics. I'm not sure you got my bigger point, so let's try again: I cherry-pick ideas from both camps and form my own broad based opinion. Not everything Bush does is awful. Not everything John Kerry does is awful. Not everything Kennedy does is awful. Not everything Rush Limbaugh says is awful. Somewhere, each of those reference

I don't argue with either of you. I think some sort of reform is needed, and McCain/Feingold is all that's ever been passed. However you feel about the law itself, at least it's an attempt.

touchy touchy. Spin in this case simply meant "opinion" or "take". And, I am right down the middle in my political beliefs. For the record, I tend to be very liberal w/ reference to social doctrine and quite conservative regarding business and the economy. I run my own business. I think it's pretty clear I have a respect for John McCain, a Republican (though I admit a liberal one), I also support Kennedy because of his families founding of the Special Olympics. I cover health care, so believ

So today, after I wrote my initial thoughts on this subject, John McCain came out and called for an end to the third party, 501-C-4 advertisements supporting his campaing in South Carolina. For those of you not up on this subject, Rick Reed, who helped produce the famous Swift Boat ads during the doomed Kerry campaign, has been running spots supportive of McCain in

Kerry was not harpooned by the truth. The truth is, that like McCain, Kerry is a decorated war veteran and a genuine war hero. Kerry was a victim of not coming out and lamblasting the Swift boat allegations stronger and sooner than his tepid response. It was his own response to those ads that did him in.

Well, good. This was not reported in the NYTs, or if it was, I missed it. I've always like McCain, for reasons noted in my discussion. Thanks for this update.

Like it or not, the now famous Swift Boat advertisement in the last Presidential election harpooned John Kerry. The result: brace yourself for an entire season of off-based, dishonest commercials. It's already started. On the Democratic side, Move On published the now infamous "General Betrayus" advertisement -- lampooning a decent man's testimony even before he

Well, Citibank certainly got their dues (and so did Countrywide) on the stock market the other day....in my job I see the PACs in full gear, and I must say, it is nerve wracking. I've even seen some, in their prime, WRITE the legislation for the staff that was later voted on. Geezeo peazo, how does the average joe compete?

It seems the latest Congressional debate is over the Alternative Minimum Tax. When originally enacted, the AMT affected a small portion of the wealthiest taxpayers — forcing them to pay some taxes instead of skating by on loopholes. Now, unless something is done, the AMT will affect the average tax payer in a big way. But what is worse than the average tax

Senator Clinton’s sex is a distraction from the real issues of this campaign. It’s just the type of “issue” the GOP loves to focus on: personality, private life, and whether you put your hand over your heart during the National Anthem. Geeze, it’s a lot easier to discuss if you like Mrs. Clinton than whether the planning was thorough for Iraq, or whether something cou
