Tonight, I elected a black man to be my President. Of course, that’s not why I voted for him or why he’ll make a great POTUS, but it makes his - now, America’s - story all the more inspiring.
I grew up on movies like The Candidate and later got hooked on The West Wing. Stories [...]

You Betcha, She’s Folksy!
Having missed the VP debate tonight to attend the Open House at my daughter’s elementary school, I watched the recorded “showdown” with a unique perspective. You see, while y’alls were watching Joey the Shark masacre Sarah the Fauxbot, I was sitting on miniature plastic chairs, surrounded by construction paper art, and listening to a teacher [...]

Mock the Vote!
I got my general election sample ballot in the mail! It’s like xmas until I discover O’Biden and McPalin aren’t the only ones running for POTUS. WTF?
Who are all these other pretenders? Apart from an appearance on Bill Maher, Nader has been (wonderfully) absent from… well, from any coverage at all. And what about his [...]

Profiled!
Help! I’ve been profiled!
This gentleman, asking passersby for spare change, looked at me walking past him on a Beverly Hills sidewalk the day before Rosh Hashanah and said “Hey man, start the New Year out right!” referring to me helping him in his quest for free money. Apparently, he just assumed that I… believed in [...]

They’re phrasing it as “misunderstanding” his theory of evolution, and the apology will be released on their website - so you know they really mean it!
Pictured above is one of several critics [...]

Wash Your Clothing Out With Soap
I didn’t blog about the rockstar who brought his son to my daughter’s preschool picnic wearing a baseball cap that said FUCK on it. And I’ve got pretty liberal standards when it comes to my own young’ns dropping S and F bombs. My wife and I usually laugh and figure that a) it’s only a [...]

Underground Xmas Lights
I can’t believe no one thought of this until now, but it’s the best thing that’s happened to parking since… well, I can’t think of any parking technology right now, but this is awesome (shut up). It’s a billion times easier to look down an aisle for green lights than cruise around like an asshole [...]

Common Decency
It’s really sad how quaint and old-timey this sign reads today. Common decency? Placed above State Law as though this would appeal to some sense of civic duty? You gotta hand it to Lynch Sign Co., bless their hearts, for printing this appeal to the great unwashed.
I have to imagine there was a meeting about [...]

Blogging From iPhone
Moblogging’s been around for years, and I guess I could use Safari, but I’m hoping the new native WordPress app will make it easier. No linking, but I can post pics and text.
Took forever to figure out how to publish, but thanks to benton yetman on friendfeed, I think I got it. Here goes…
