My Memorial Day
Yesterday, I felt like I should've done something profound. I woke up in the early a.m. to walk my doggie, and then fell back asleep until 11:30 a.m. I was returning a call on my answering machine as I turned …
The Idiotic ACLU
One of my lawyer friends donates time and money to the ACLU. I always give her crap about it. It seems half of what they get involved in I'm against. Sometimes it's a man writing a blog about his love …
Everything Gives You Cancer
Nothing like starting a Sunday thinking about a Joe Jackson song. Of course, the obvious would be his great "Sunday Papers". But, that has nothing to do with this blog topic. I had the TV on as I was doing …
NBA -- Playoffs and Personalities
I've been enjoying the play-offs more than I have in many years. Growing up I was a hardcore Lakers fan. But I got tired of Kobe acting like a punk and decided I wouldn't support the team again until he …
Idiotic Football Players
Former Chargers QB Ryan Leaf got himself into trouble. I first heard this story months ago, when as an assistant coach at some university in Texas, he asked a player with an arm injury if he could score a pain …
The Flight of the Conchords
I wanted to buy tickets to see Flight of the Conchords at UCSDs Rimac Arena. I went there a week after the show was announced, only to find it was sold out. I told my girlfriend yesterday that we should …
Stunned Kids -- Prisons demonstrate stun guns on children
I usually end up on the side of police and prison guards in various arguments. Mainly because liberal idiots like to act as if the police have it in for certain segments of society, when in fact, the only people …
You're Suffocating Me
I was re-arranging some things in my room and I came across the suitcase I took last time I was in Vegas. Inside it, I saw a letter I forgot to mail out. And also a news story I had …
Banana Attack
That's a really lame title for a blog. It makes me think of Attack of the Killer Tomatoes. Or the Queen song "Dragon Attack". I thought about going with something like that stupid Gwen Stefani song, but just thinking about …
It's That Time of the Year -- Yearbook Controversy
I heard a local morning show talking about a yearbook photo that showed a 16-year-old girl sitting in the gym class without under pants. They said that she didn't wear underwear because she didn't want the panty lines showing up …
Being Funny
Jonathan Winters once talked about how everyone thinks they're funny. It was on an interview with 60 Minutes. I believe they were actually doing a story on Robin Williams, but since Williams went on and on about Jonathan, they interviewed …
Your Son is Student of the Month? My Son is on American Idol!
I remember in high school hearing all the adults brag about their kids. A guy on my basketball team ended up getting a full ride to Stanford and hit a game-winning home run in the college world series. I'm sure …
Cell Phones (in cars, trains, buses, movie theatres, press conferences...)
I try not to repeat myself on blogs, and I'm surprised that each day there's something else I'm able to find to rant about. As my girlfriend said at a party tonight "Yeah...well, a lot of stuff pisses you off." …
Baptist School and Christian Contestant
Donald Trump got to thrust himself into the limelight again. It's hard to imagine how that thing on his head stays still with such bright lights on him while he's speaking. His answer to why Miss California gets to keep …
Wanda Sykes and the President
I heard the few clips of Wanda Sykes at the Correspontents' dinner. I was very shocked and surprised. What surprised me was that she was actually funny. I had front row seats to see her in Vegas about 8 months …
Mike Tyson and Other Documentaries
I saw the documentary Tyson last night. It's getting raved reviews, so I was a bit disappointed. As a boxing fan, I enjoyed it. Most of the stories I had heard before, or read in a biography on him I …
Museum Thefts and Cops Pay
There were two short stories in the U-T this morning that had me scratching my head. One was about a 60-year-old museum curator that was stealing items and selling them on eBay. I couldn't help but wonder...did this guys boss …
Paying Housewives
Paying Housewives...that sounds like the latest reality show. On KGBs morning show Friday, I caught the tail end of a discussion about how much a stay-at-home wife would make if she were paid for the jobs she does. I think …
Liar Liar Pants on Fire
I have a weird view about lying. If famous people lie, it doesn't bother me if I can understand it. I had no problem with a few baseball players that were retired, and lied about having taken steroids. They would …
Welcome to the CLUB
I've been lucky to have jobs in my life that get me free stuff. I worked briefly for Sony Playstation, and you can imagine the product we got. I worked in radio at various times over the years. Free CDs, …
