Samuel L. Jackson voted for Obama because he (Mr.... →
Kudos to Mr. Jackson for being forthright and honest about his reasoning (as simplistic as it may be) for having supported President Obama in the last election.
But can you imagine the outcry from the media if a white actor of note had admitted that the only reason he had voted for George Bush was that George was a white guy?
Every talking head and...

The Oily Man (Orang Minyak) is Back in Town →
A Malaysian “Big-Foot” wannabe is back in the news. The Orang Minyak, sometimes described as a human warlock who enjoys coating himself with oil as he abducts young women, was reported to be active in and around Melaka, Malaysia last month.
Time to send out the Monster Quest crew!

I Discover Steampunk
Who would have imagined that at the age of 60, I would discover a new literary genre?
Thanks to the wonders of my new Kindle Touch and the almost countless sources for Kindle books that can be found on the internet, I’ve stumbled into the world of Steampunk fiction.
I’ve always been a fan of science fiction and some fantasy works, so it stands to reason that I’d like sci-fi...

December 21, 2012 - Y2K on Steriods →
Despite the Discovery and History Channel’s endless attempts to make us believe that we are now less than a year away from the End of Times, it just ain’t likely to happen.

Congressman says Michelle has a Big Butt! →
Objecting to Michelle Obama’s endless harangues about American’s being fat and her attempts to tell the rest of us what we should be eating, Congressman Jim Sensenbrenner (R-Wisc.) was overheard pointing out that Michelle herself as a “large posterior”.
This is the type of point specific political rhetoric that we need more...

“We got a whole bunch of gangsters in the locker room. Not thugs, but tough guys on the court.” Tu Holloway after the bench clearing brawl that he helped instigate during the Cincinnati at Xavier basketball game.
Sorry Tu, but your actions belie your words. You are, and will probably remain, a thug.

Herman Cain Considers Becoming Media Pundit →
I don’t want to hear any shrill cries of righteous indignation from the Left over the possibility of Herman Cain taking advantage of any opportunity to become a regular on any of the national news networks where he can continue to present his ideas and points of view.
After being forced out of office for liasons with hookers, CNN gave disgraced New...

BCS = Badly Corrupted System
“Anyone who doesn’t win their conference, has no business playing in the national championship.” - Nick Saban in 2003
Not only did Nick Saban’s Alabama team NOT win their conference title this year, they didn’t even win their division within the conference, yet they are playing in the BCS National Championship game.

Barack Is On the Job Working for Solutions!
Doesn’t it make you proud to know that our President will soon be off on yet another vacation. This time for 17 days in Hawaii.
All the while, hundreds of thousands of his fellow citizens, who haven’t had a vacation in years, continue to look for work, are scrambling to pay their bills, and trying to avoid foreclosure on their homes?
But let’s cut him some slack. ...

Hope and Change We Can Believe In. Really?
It’s been said that the hallmark of true leaders is their ability to communicate a clear and positive vision of the goal toward which they are leading.
If that’s true, then this guy is the embodiment of a leadership vacuum.
Over the past few months, he’s told us that Americans have “fallen behind,” lack “ambition and...

Swedish Man Bursts into Flames →
Is it possible for humans to spontaneously burst into flames? That appears to be what happened outside of a Swedish rail station earlier this week.
The phenomena of Spontaneous Human Combustion has been discussed and written about for centuries. Charles Dickens even had one of the characters in his novel, Bleak House, succumb as a result of SHC.
But the scientific community seems to be split...

It's Rivalry Week in College Football Land
The last week of the college football regular season is traditionally a time for intra-state grudge matches between ancient foes.
Here in the Peach State, we have the Georgia vs Georgia Tech game. The emotion exchanged between the Bulldogs and the Yellow Jackets, especially in any athletic competition, is referred to as, “Good Clean Hate!”
I’ve always...

Crook Stuck in Flue
In another example of the “Dumb Crook Syndrome”, Ranaldo Montez Jack was pulled from the chimney flue of a house which he was apparently attempting to burgle in Norcross, Georgia.
Jack apparently was trying to break in to the house through the chimney, but became stuck in the flue; remaining there for some 10 hours before authorities extricated him and...

RIP - Charlie the Smoking Chimpanzee
With great sadness, I note the passing of Charlie the Smoking Chimpanzee. Charlie was a resident of the Mangaung Zoo in South Africa and is believed to have learned to smoke cigarettes during his adolescent years when he was with a circus in the United States.
Zoo officials indicated that Charlie passed away of old age at the age of 52, some 12 years beyond the...

Boise State's Undefeated Streak Ends - and the BCS...
I’ve seen what we refer to as “Home Cooking” before, but nothing quite so flagrant as that dished up on a platter for Boise State on Saturday afternoon.
With 40-something seconds left and the Broncos trailing TCU by 1 point, the referees called TCU for pass interference on a play in which the Horned Frog defensive back barely touched the Bronco receiver, who clearly had no...

Miffed that his court case, pertaining to what he believes to be unreasonable airport body searches by members of the TSA, was tossed out of court, Jesse Ventura (ex-professional wrestler, ex-actor, ex-governor of Minnesota) has declared that he’s thinking about moving to Mexico.
I only have two words to say about this, “Adios Amigo!”

Main Stream Media Unfurls Its Hypocrisy Once Again
Just a few weeks ago, Herman Cain warned that we should get ready for a “high tech lynching” of himself and his campaign for the Republican Presidential nomination. His crystal ball was very accurate.
Just as his campaign began to gain traction and his numbers vaulted him into a front-runner position, the media smears began with a dredged up story...

Obama Maintains His Keen Sense of Priorities →
Not to be dissuaded by the economic malaise he has created, nor the continuing double digit unemployment, nor the catastrophic debt burden his policies have magnified - President Barack Obama has once again zeroed in on that one over-riding issue which all of America is most concerned about: the cancellation of the NBA season.
Speaking in Orlando, BO had this to say, “I’m a little...

North Carolina Governor Proposes Banana Republic...
Bev Perdue, the current Governor of North Carolina, was speaking recently and proposed that the United States suspend Congressional elections next year in order to allow our law makers to concentrate on fixing the economy.
“I think we ought to suspend, perhaps, elections for Congress for two years and just tell them we won’t hold it against them, whatever decisions they make, to just let...

Epic Season Ending Choke X 2
I don’t know which team choked the worst; the Atlanta Braves or the Boston Red Sox. Rather than quibble, I’ll just call it a tie.
The Red Sox went 7-20 during the month of September and lost on the last night of the regular season to the Baltimore Orioles which knocked Boston out of post-season play.
In their (lack of) effort, the Braves lost 20 of their last 30 games, including...

Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta
I love sports car racing, especially the American Le Mans Series. For the past two years, I’ve covered the Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta, but for some reason didn’t apply for credentials this year.
With the race only a few days away, I’m really starting to question my reasoning for not being there again.
Here’s a few of my images from last year’s race:

Georgia Declared "Michael Moore-Free" Zone
Michael Moore has declared a boycott on the State of Georgia and is encouraging the world to exchew all things Georgian.

Al indicated that 8.6 million individuals tuned in. That’s 8,600,000. Unfortunately, more accurate assessments put the level of viewership at 17,000 and...

It Really Is All About Him
Our President, once again demonstrates his complete and utter lack of understanding of diplomatic protocol.
Somebody tell Barack that you don’t wave while posing for a group photo with other heads of state. Everybody else seems to get it.
I wonder if he’s even aware that there are others in the photograph? Self-absorption personified.

Why Obama Should Withdraw →
If you sit down and think about this, it really is staggering to think that in three short years, Obama has gone from being hailed as the messiah and lauded by Europeans falling over themselves to do so, to now being rejected by his own hometown newspaper (see link above).
The political party, of which he is the titular head, is distancing itself from him all the while searching for a credible...
