Tebow Mania getting a bit cultish

I’m looking forward to the start of college football season so actual games can distract us from all this Tim Tebow worship. It’s all getting a bit cultish … sort of like that other cult, Christianity. Need proof? Watch this video tribute. Tebow, Jesus. Jesus, Tebow. They’re slowly merging into one, don’t you think? But [...]

Yet Another Sign of the Apocalypse

Yet another sign of the apocalypse … Now there’s social media for your baby at http://lilgrams.com/. Really, America, how much higher can we make that pedestal that we put children on? Where will the insanity of child worship end? Oh where have you gone, George Carlin?

Setting the Record Straight on Health Care Reform

Many people have received variations of an anti-health-reform chain email that claims to provide a page-by-page analysis of a House healthcare bill. Jennifer Tolbert, an independent health care analyst at a nonpartisan foundation that studies health care reform, called the email “awful.”

FACT CHECK: No ‘death panel’ in health care bill – Yahoo! News

Reporting doesn’t get much more neutral than the AP, and this report essentially calls Sarah Palin a fear monger: FACT CHECK: No ‘death panel’ in health care bill – Yahoo! News. Wasn’t it Palin who, during her farewell as Alaska’s governor, asked the media to “honor the American soldier” and “quit making things up”? Damn [...]

Good luck Michael Vick

I’m rooting for Michael Vick. America is all about second chances, about giving people an opportunity to make amends for misdeeds or missteps in life. If those protesters outside the Eagles training camp would consider that for a moment, they might drop their placards and root for Michael too.

Excuse Me While I Whip This Out

To those who staged a “nurse-in” at an Orlando-area Chick-Fil-A: Spare me all this bullshit about how breast-feeding is a “natural and wonderful thing.” That’s indisputable. But we don’t need to witness that magical bond in all its exposed glory.

Finally … Football Season is Nearly Upon Us!

It’s WAY too early to start making crazy declarations and prognostications regarding the upcoming season (unless your name is Lev Davidovich Wuerffel), but I just had to log on to say that I got a bit tingly today when the first USA TODAY college football coaches’ poll was released with the Florida Gators perched firmly [...]

PETA has jumped the shark

PETA, you’ve officially lost me as a supporter for ANY initiatives you sponsor after questioning President Obama for killing a housefly.

21st Century GOP: The Party of Fear

Dick Cheney, Rush Limbaugh and their ilk have taken fear-mongering to an entirely new level in recent weeks. I’ve been remiss in posting of late, but the GOP has inspired me to continue on a theme I started a few months ago and compile a list of “things chicken-shit Republicans are scared of,” based on [...]

I didn’t think I could dislike LeBron James

Four games into the Cleveland-Orlando series, I have come to despise LeBron James. His sense of entitlement, illustrated best as he whines to refs, is unbelievable. I took great joy in watching him commit turnover after turnover to help his team lose Game 4 to the Magic.
