Buster sent this my way and I share it with you. There is an urban legend about it, that the very good advice here was written by Kurt Vonnegut; it was actually written by Mary Schmich in the Chicago Tribute. I like the beat. Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts. Don’t put up with people who are reckless with yours. Floss. Don’t waste your time on jealousy. Sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes you’re behind. The race is long and, in... Read more
I am so disgusted with this idiocy (goodbye ANWR, goodbye energy independence, hello pain) that I have turned my head from the news of the day to this Wife’s Chart, which – in 1939 – was put together by some poor deluded man who believed he could get away with writing this and remain happy. Or healthy. (Via Ace) The article only presents the first portion of the wife test, but as I score a measly ten points…well…I do love... Read more
Buster is home from school and looking for heavy-lifting jobs that can pay him well for using his bigness, but he’s also putting together a repertoire of selections for a piano bar gig he’s looking at. I heard him tooling around with “Bad, Bad Leroy Brown” and realized he must be running out of ideas. Any requests? Read more
Honestly, I see this sort of crap in my email all the time – I get an “is it the end-of-the-world” missive every day or two – but I just blew it off as fringe element stuff. Now, Novak is bringing it to mainstream attention: An element of the Christian community is not reconciled to McCain’s candidacy but instead regards the prospective presidency of Barack Obama in the nature of a Biblical plague visited upon a sinful people. These militants... Read more
Q: First off, I have to ask, what is it with the Sarah Jessica Parker worship? What is it that fascinates? A: You’re asking the wrong girl. I don’t get it. She’s moderately attractive, sometimes wears interesting things…I don’t know why week after week after week she is everywhere I look, and has been for several years, now. But then, I’ve never seen that show, Sex and the City. I don’t know who any of those women are. And I’m... Read more

Boomdeyadda, boomdeyadda, boomdeyadda, boomdeyadda… My kids used to sing a version of this all those years ago. Nice remembering it thanks to this really splendidly done commercial. H/T Dr. Sanity Read more
A Salesian Priest with a new blog sends me this link – I thought it was a terrific video, but I couldn’t shake the notion that this young priest looks (and sounds) like a young, fluffy-beared Tom Cruise: Q: So, any truth to the rumor that Pope Benedict’s trip to the US may result in more priestly and religious vocations? A: Maybe. In the Midwest and South, the Catholic church is showing good numbers in both areas, but the coasts... Read more
Things certainly seem upside down all over, don’t they? Looking over pictures of the Bush wedding this past weekend, someone commented that the Clinton’s would never have had a private wedding without the press, “but if they did, they’d still make sure every story mentioned that the preacher marrying the couple was African-American. The Clinton’s never, ever missed an opportunity to pander or play the race card, although in such a case, it would be seen as noble, rather than... Read more
I’d forgotten about this classic Weird Al Video Palindrome – brilliantly taking off on Bob Dylan, until I saw it again at Amba’s. . White and Nerdy is also great. My favorite Weird Al Video is still Amish Paradise, though. Read more
