Some nights are just going to be bummer nights. Maybe the food you cooked didn’t turn out right. Or perhaps your day at the office was rough so there’s just nothing better than to have a few drinks and hope you sleep until the following week. I was having a particularly ‘off’ day when I […]
OK, what’s getting on my nerves even more than how awful and racist and divisive some of the new ads and language the McCain camp keeps churning out is the actual PEOPLE they are throwing out there to spew it. There are many smart, intelligent and well-reasoned republican women out there. I know many of […]
So I have some friends from Minnesota, and I got to say there may be a reason I have never previously heard of Rep. Michele Bachmann, a Republican. Maybe we haven’t heard of her, until Friday, until she decided to unveil herself on TV and show off her McCarthyism techniques. They are pulling out all […]
We all have heroes of one kind or another when growing up. A good deal of my own were pop culture based. And of course, we’re talking late-70s, early-80s stuff here, so it’s not like I had Michael Jordan or something profound here. And to add to that, most of them were based in TV […]
The nonprofit I work for deals a lot with local organizations all over the country. One of those orgs we work with is ACORN. These people have had a rough go of it lately, some of it justified, but a lot of it from the McCain campaign is complete horseshit. I’m really getting tired of […]
Back in April the lady in my life and I went to Paris for a week. She’s been there several times (her grandfather flew paratrooper planes during D-Day and throughout WWII, so her family attends reunions in Europe all the time). It was my first time to Paris, and I instantly dug it in a […]
I’m just making a quick post on something I read today. For those new to the political scene, there was this guy named William F. Buckley, who was the very definition of conservative. I am sure there are statues of this guy somewhere, even if they probably deserve to the be spray-painted over. But he […]
OK, so I have found a new shoe store that I like. Normally I clad myself in adidas shoes, because I find them really, really comfortable ever since my outdoor and indoor soccer days from my teen years. Adidas even did me a huge favor by releasing a line of eco green shoes, which I […]
Thank god Friday is almost over. Not long after the run-in with Naked Co-Worker, I had yet another moment that was just a bit too much for one day. One of the new areas I have explored at work is taping instructional videos to help staffers learn how to do certain tasks in our office. […]
I work in a great office. Not long after starting at CFED, we moved from shite office space over at Union Station to more professional digs at Metro Center. Hell, I even got an office (with a door) out of the deal. While we have our own floor, we sublet it out to two other […]
