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...
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...
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...
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...

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...
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...
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...
