Today is a national holiday here in the U.S. It’s a day where we celebrate the birthday of a great American, born and raised in the south, who lived and died for what he believed…

I am still sick.  Still.  This is really [...]

According to the Chicago Tribune, apparently compiled by a group of trained monkeys.  Seriously, this list is moronic.
Obviously, the best Christmas movie ever is A Charlie Brown Christmas.  Okay, maybe not the best, but at least top ten, right?  Well, they dropped it in at number 22.  But it gets worse.  Movies rated higher (closer [...]

The other night at the Euro Cafe, the topic came up of Odum and the SVR flap that pushed his employer to ask that he refrain from blogging, or whatever, and I mentioned that I hadn’t even been following the SVR/racism posts because when I see the word “racism,” I tend to tune it out. [...]
