The Christmas spirit is on full display already (although you better get away from the display before you get stampeded by people with more spirit than you), and so far only 3 reported fatalities to speak of!
A Wal-Mart in Valley Stream was home to the first incident. Now, Wal-Mart has super deals every day, but [...]

White House Hanukkah Card Displays X-mas Tree
I wonder how this gets by the editors. Unless it was that crazy prankster Dick Cheney’s idea of a joke – remember that time he shot that guy in the face on a hunting trip??? He’s hilarious!!!
The White House recently sent out Hanukkah cards to Jewish leaders and the card seemed to be more in [...]

Bush Pardoning Begins
Nothing spectacular thus far, although a few notable ones that I can’t quite understand are:
Leslie Collier of Charleston, Mo., had been convicted of unauthorized use of a registered pesticide
Obie Helton of Rossville, Ga., was pardoned after conviction on charges of acquiring food stamps without proper permission and sentenced to two years’ probation in 1983.
Several other [...]

My poor San Diego Chargers….
I’ll start by saying that I’m extremely impressed with the Jets. They pulled off a rather shocking win today when you consider the margin of victory.
Now, although I stated earlier in the year that I was no longer watching the NFL I have indeed watched the Chargers when they have been on the television in [...]

Nebraska Turns its Back on Safe Haven Law (and parents everywhere)
Lawmakers in Nebraska changed their stance on their safe haven law, easily the most generous in the country, that allowed children up to the age of 17 to be abandoned at hospitals.
I guess I’m okay with the change, but it’s a pretty dramatic reduction. It seems a little unfair to go from 17 years 364 [...]

Teen Broadcasts Suicide on Webcam
What started out as a fun, carefree Wednesday night with a webcam, some benzodiazepine, and a fast internet connection ended badly on for a teenager in Florida. Apparently, with viewers cheering him on, and others debating if he was really dead, hours passed before anyone decided to report the fact that the teenager had killed [...]

Dustin Pedroia wins MVP – Why?
My only guess is that the only voter this year was Dustin Pedroia.
Dustin Pedroia, the Red Sox diminutive second baseman who struggled to hit his weight during his first month in the big leagues, was today voted the American League Most Valuable Player in balloting conducted by [Dustin Pedroia] the Baseball Writers Association of America.
Pedroia [...]

Auto Industry Execs Get Serious About Saving Money
This story is so funny I don’t think I have to comment on it at all.
Some lawmakers lashed out at the CEOs of the Big Three auto companies Wednesday for flying private jets to Washington to request taxpayer bailout money.
“There is a delicious irony in seeing private luxury jets flying into Washington, D.C., and [...]

The Neverending Story
I think Minnesota should just move forward with some kind of plan where Norm Colman and Al Franken share the Senate seat. It could be a similar model to the one they use to divide up the children upon divorce.
Franken gets the Seat on weekdays, and Coleman can have it on the weekends and for [...]

My wonderful world of sports…
This is my recap of all that matters in the world of sports.
Upside:
Syracuse finally fired Greg Robinson. I’m fairly sure since the man who would save the program from the mediocrity that was Paul Pasqualoni came to power, Syracuse has lost more football games in 4 or so years than they did in the previous [...]
