Freedom and Regulation

Tuesday, May 27th, 2008

The wife and I went on an awesome camping trip this weekend with our dog. Since I haven’t uploaded pictures yet, you’ll have to wait for the full story. It will probably come from Carley anyway since she’s more fun for those stories.
So- more politics.
America has this love/hate relationship with freedom. We [...]

Update and Anthrax

Wednesday, May 21st, 2008

We got an Anthrax scare yesterday at work.
No, the band did not come storm our cafeteria. Somebody was mailed a package with white powder and a note that said something along the lines of “This is Anthrax.” So the building was cordoned off, HVAC was turned off, and nobody was allowed in or [...]

Playing Hookie

Friday, May 16th, 2008

So, I dragged myself out of bed this Friday morning, and while listening to the mornin’ news and munching on sub-par toast, the extraordinarily happy forecast guy was telling me about the glorious sun that would be making an appearance today, and I quote, “We have never seen record highs like this on the coast…” [...]

Gun Control part two

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

Not one of you commented on my gun control blog? See if I ever post twice in the same day again…

Friday night we got to hang out with Walnuts and his wife for a little while (never long enough) which was as always a great time. Saturday, Walnuts and Joe came over to help with the yard. I borrowed my (awesome) next door neighbor’s 2007 [...]

Response to Gun Control

Monday, May 12th, 2008

My brother has challenged me to a series of debates to prepare me to deal with turds like him in my run for presidency. This week he asked me about gun control. Here is my response:
Everybody knows that the Second Amendment guarantees that “the right of the People to keep and bear arms [...]

Whatnot

Friday, May 9th, 2008

Prepare for randomness!
Brother bought a car. Go him! To my knowledge, this is the first time his name has been on a car title in almost a decade. Not that he needs one in Chicago but still. Very cool.
Peanut is on the way! I’m very excited to meet him.
I’m getting [...]

Politics, Gas prices, and you

Monday, May 5th, 2008

So… My favorite political candidate appears to be the only smart one. McCain and Hilary are touting a “Gas Tax Holiday.” Economists say it’s stupid. Obama says it’s stupid (long one). Hilary says “I’m not going to put my lot in with economists.” Wait… What? You mean you’re not going [...]
