Last night I did a bit of Fox News watching as Jon Stewart had Part II of his debate with Bill O’Reilly hosted on Bill’s show. The hilarious snippets of this evening involved all the parts when someone would talk about Newt Gingrich and his comments regarding Congressman Paul Ryan‘s bill with regard to how […]

So in a desperate attempt to get people to consider him a viable candidate, ex-Governor Mitt Romney said today he wouldn’t cut the defense budget if he’s elected President. In doing so he just lost any chance he had of getting my vote—and he had a chance as I respect the guy and what he […]

We seem to be at the beginning of a process that, I have little doubt, will evolve into something useful with regard to “data access”. The piece I’m picking on today is the cell phone data package any of us with a smart phone pay extra to have. In my case, for the time being, […]

So, as I noted, one of my initial thoughts after hearing of the death of Osama bin Laden was how Sean Hannity would manage to twist the news into a big negative for President Obama. I could just see him turning over in his sleep trying to work out the degree to which he’d have […]

Last night, as the news of Osama bin Laden‘s death spread my initial thoughts of euphoria turned to the inevitable re-spinning that would no doubt go on for those who are not supporters of this administration. I knew, without any doubt, that there would be a long list of those who would see nothing but […]

We’re now one of only three countries in the world that has not adopted the metric system. The other two are Liberia and Burma. Both of those have recently begun the process of transitioning to the metric system. Like a spoiled child, we’ll be the only one in the community who obstinately refuses to listen […]

I’ve mentioned local radio host (Philly area) Dom Giordano before. He’s being featured on our local conservative radio station now that Glenn Beck‘s been given the boot and I’m not sure which one is worse really. Giordano is continually abrasive with any view that’s divergent from his own while also suffering from the typical blindness […]

Late last year I attended a charity event where you bid on a multitude of various offerings generally provided by area businesses. These included things like gift certificates for dinners, free car washes, tickets to sporting events, lawn services, etc. The amounts raised for each item exceed the value of the items themselves but that’s […]

I’ve been involved in a debate with a closed technology forum I belong to and the debate involves some recent news items pertaining to various forms of piracy including one where the industry suggests the penalties could be as high as $75 trillion dollars. I’ve been around this issue personally and professionally most of my […]

News today brings us word that Minnesota’s infamous 6th district Congresswoman, Michele Bachmann, has claimed to have uncovered an incredible legislative fraud perpetrated by the previous Congress. In a video statement lasting a bit over 2 minutes Bachmann suggests that the bill for “Obamacare” contained $105 billion in funding that no one knew about. She […]

One of the neat things about having a journalist on hand for virtually an entire administration as Bob Woodward was during the Bush years is that you’ve got someone trained and experienced at taking copious and accurate notes on virtually everything. In a recent column Woodward shares the following item regarding Don Rumsfeld‘s re-imagining of […]

So this morning on the way into work I’m listening to dead air on the radio also known locally as Dom Giordano. Among the many nuggets of free comedic entertainment he refers to as “facts” was his commentary on a recent popular poll. The poll is the one many of us have seen that shows […]
