Boston is Titletown, USA

The Patriots have had a couple last minute heroics in Super Bowls. The Red Sox came back from 3-0 deficit to the Yankees to advance to the World Series which had never been done before. The Celtics last night had the greatest come-from-behind victory in NBA finals history. They were down [...]

Pocket Rocket

The NY Daily News is reporting that Roger Clemens used Viagra as a performance enhancing drug, not just for pitching tents for Mindy McCready, but for pitching baseballs.  Apparently this has been a little known secret for some athletes.  I would hate to be in front of 38,000 fans when a stiff breeze gets my [...]

Windfall profit tax

I am philosophically opposed to the government punishing any private corporation for making too much money, but when I hear that oil companies quadrupled their profits while gas prices doubled in the last year, it really pisses me off! As oil costs rise, I should think profit margins should shrink. A penny profit on $2.00 [...]

Mad Cow mass hysteria in Seoul

80,000 people protested in Seoul, South Korea over the lifting of the U.S. beef ban. There has been an hysterical and irrational fear of mad cow disease.
According to the CDC, there have only been 3 cases of mad cow ever in the United States and none since early 2006. From what I can tell, not [...]

3G iPhone: Still not good enough for me

The new 3G iPhone is coming July 11 which means it’s much faster and also has GPS built in. What it’s lacking though is still a deal breaker.
Bluetooth: Only has headset profile. No A2DP stereo headphone profile which is just plain weird. Even weirder is that they haven’t put [...]

Another reason to hate NY

As if the Yankees weren’t enough of a reason:
NEW YORK (AP) – A city Health Department study finds that more than a fourth of adult New Yorkers are infected with the virus that causes genital herpes.
The study, released Monday, says about 26 percent of New York City adults have genital herpes, compared to about 19 [...]

Which would you pick?

The third term of George W. Bush
or,
the second term of Jimmy Carter?
Obama wants you to think “The Maverick” is George W. Bush wearing an old man costume. He thinks he’s very clever and saying McCain will be Bush’s third term every 12 seconds. It’s a tired tactic of revisionist history that Democrats use. [...]

VIP?

I read an article today about how challenging it can be to treat a “VIP” patient such as Ted Kennedy. The article also refers to actors as VIP patients. I object to the term VIP. VIP is such an elitist term. What makes Ted Kennedy “more important” than the rest of us? [...]
