Sorry to Pile on but. . .

Most of us have had situations where we’ve been stumped and had to give a bullshit answer- doing a tap dance, so to speak- in response to an inquiry from a parent, or a teacher, or a professor, or a boss. We end up fumbling around and it becomes clear pretty quickly that we really don’t [...]

Tall Women Like Short Men

or so I used to wish.  These two make an interesting pair:

Mumbles

I hate Howie Carr, the right wing wackjob host of a radio show on WRKO, 680 AM and a columnist for the Boston Herald.  That said, he’s compiled one hell of an audio vault of Mayor Tom “Mumbles” Menino’s butchering of the english language.  Check it out:

I haven’t been this angry about the way an election season is going since well, since John Kerry allowed himself to be swiftboated off the stage. Obama is 3 times the candidate Kerry ever was, but the way the Republicans have turned the joke of nominating Sarah Palin for Vice-President into a major positive for [...]

Bad Sports Weekend

The Yanks have been dead for weeks. They’ll be missing the postseason for the first time since 1993.

Boston College lost its home opener on Saturday, a game which I attended.  While I hate to throw a kid under the bus, the new qb replacing the departed Matt Ryan, Chris Crane, played one of the worst games [...]

Yes, I’ve been political lately in my posting. TFB. My blog, my feelings lately.  Perhaps now that the RNC is over, my [...]

Adventures on Block Island

Last weekend, the Mrs. and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary by going to Block Island. The trip had originally been planned for the actual anniversary weekend in July, but I had to reschedule the trip when the Mrs.’ grad glass took up all of her time and she had a paper and a presentation [...]
