'The A-Trek'

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you crossed the A-Team with Star Trek? Well, wonder no more!

Conspiring to Confuse?

What is it with conspiracy nuts? In addition to the so-called 'moon hoaxers,' there are 9/11 'truthers', JFK assassination conspiracy buffs, and holocaust deniers.

As for me, I firmly believe that all the various conspiracy theories out there are the product of a massive world government cabal and its efforts to keep humanity in a perpetual state of confusion.

Then again, maybe what we perceive as reality is just a glitch in the Matrix.

A Legitimate Financial Opportunity?

I don't usually pay attention to those email offers that periodically show up in my inbox. They are generally scams and not worthy of my time. This one, however, caught my eye and, after some research, seems legit. I've already forwarded my bank account information.

Everyone's Going Green These Days

Mmmm.... Tastes Like Chicken

What is this sick, twisted obsession so many people have with a white Christmas? Is it all because of that stupid Bing Crosby song?

A few years ago there was aa big snowstorm that affected the Midwest and the Northeast (DC was spared). It created a transportation nightmare. Motorists were stuck in their cars on interstates, and thousands of other unfortunate souls had to spend Christmas eve sleeping on the floors of airports. How cozy is that? Clearly Bing Freakin' Crosby never had to catch a connecting flight in Minneapolis during a blizzard.

And you know why? Because Bing was already holed up in some resort lodge in the Poconos, sitting next to a warm blazing fireplace, and thoughtfully puffing on his pipe as he wondered why none of his friends had shown up. Meanwhile, those very same friends are stuck on a road on some frozen mountain pass, struggling against the blinding whiteout conditions in a desperate bid to stay alive, and wondering who among them would be the first to be eaten by the group.

Clearly, Bing Crosby was an asshole.

Big Government Rears Its Ugly Head Again

Sarah Palin and her merry band of tea partiers are right: The Federal government is just too damn big and restrictive. In yet another outrageous move against the free market principles that made America great, the Consumer Product Safety Commission is outlawing cribs that kill babies.

I, for one, am outraged.
