Jindal to the Rescue!

I really sincerely hope that the Republicans 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th……….99th, 100th, 101st……3,483rd, 3,484th choices to give the rebuttal last night called in sick.
I have honestly never heard a person talk like that in public.  When I was in Kindergarten I heard people talk like that.  Mainly my Kindergarten teacher, but there [...]

Big 10 Basketball at it’s finest!

Although I attend the University of Illinois I have no special fondness for their sports program or the Big 10 (which consists of 11 teams) in general.  I would say my biggest complaint is that the fans here consider their basketball programs to actually be pretty good, and it’s incredibly annoying because outside of Michigan [...]

Confusing headlines….

I was checking out Google news when I came across this rather interesting article title:
Man Who Lost Leg in Drunk Subway Fall Gets $2.3M Settlement
When I read the title I assumed some guy had his leg chopped off in the NY subway system or something along those lines.  It turns out it was a man [...]

The Top 100 Presidents of ALL TIME!

Well, I’m not sure there has actually been 100, but I saw some ranking come out today and I figured I would take a look.
Well, I looked and as it turns out there has only been 42 Presidents.  I remember exactly 4 of them.  Ronald Reagan, George Bush, Bill Clinton, and George Bush.  I’m not [...]

What’s with all that whispering?

My man Rush Limbaugh brought something to my attention that I hadn’t really noticed myself, but I think I may have to start keeping an eye, or ear, on.  You may want to do the same since it’s going to effect all of us.
Apparently, since the United States is becoming COMMUNIST, Rush has started to [...]

The Wire

My posting has been slowed by my sudden addiction to the television show ‘The Wire.’  For years all I ever heard was that it was the greatest show on television, and then the rebuttal that nobody has actually seen ‘The Wire’ and therefore reviewers feel confident they can just say it’s great without watching it [...]

Syracuse Beats West Virginia and Le Moyne goes D1?

I briefly attended a small little liberal arts college in upstate New York called Le Moyne College.  The most notable thing about Le Moyne college is that if you ever move to Iowa, and people ask you where you go to school, they all think you’re saying Des Moines College.  They will then spend at [...]

The Daschle Debacle

Well, Rush wasn’t in this week, which was actually pretty nice because some of the people he’s had on filling in are for more sane that he is, and it makes listening slightly less painful.  I say slightly because for the most part they’re all nuts on talk radio.
This week’s big topic has been Tom [...]

Wasteful Spending in Stimulus Bill?

The Republicans after 8 years of Bush and 6 years of that time in control of the Congress are finally getting serious about pork again, and it’s about time.  I wonder why they care so much again?  Here is a list of all the wasteful spending that they called out:
• $2 billion earmark to re-start [...]

Do you know where….

I already told a couple people about this, but I figured I would give it a write up anyway.
Yesterday, in Elder Law, the fun filled class I take Monday-Tuesday from 9:00-10:15 CST we had the medical students sitting in on our class so that they could see how attentive and impressive the law students are.  [...]
