Most of our regular readers have heard bits and parts of the story where Christine stabbed me in the shoulder with a steak knife. Originally I decided that I wouldn’t tell this story.. (she is embarrassed that she has a violent side… I on the other hand fully embrace mine), but I’ve come to realize that I need to tell this story just incase I come to an untimely demise.. I want everybody here to know who is responsible.

“Cunt’. That is little word was what pushed Christine over the edge.. We were hanging out in her kitchen and she was cooking dinner (as she should) and I was ranting about someone.. Probably that loony girl down in Texas being a media whore.. but anyway, I said something along these lines.. .”What a fucking cunt bitch”. Christine spins, knife in hand and impales my shoulder… at first she [...]

Happy Tax Day, Americans!

Today’s the big day, so I hope you get your taxes postmarked by midnight (I prefer to submit mine online), and unlike myself, I hope you get a refund! But just think, once it’s done, you don’t have to do them for another year. -)

The Real Tax Debate

Posted on April 7th, 2008 by Christopher.
Categories: Current Events & Politics.

Here’s a cold reality that none of the presidential candidates want to tell you: A shrinking number of Americans are bearing an ever bigger share of the nation’s income tax burden. Is that fair? is it sticking the rich with what they deserve? Or is it a sign of a growing social problem? As you file your tax return, and as the candidates cite assorted half-truths about U.S. taxes, those questions are worth our attention - as long as we face the surprising facts.

The first surprise for most people is the large proportion of Americans who actually get money back - not a refund, but a net payment-through the income tax system is huge. …

Here Comes Oscar!

As I explained to Christopher yesterday, the Academy Awards is to me as the World Cup is to him. I was trying to convey how much I like watching the Oscars and his response was… “But the World Cup happens every four years and the Oscars happen every year. You should liken it more to the Superbowl.”

Okay… whatever gets the point across, right?

I love the dresses, the red carpet, the interviews, the stars being themselves. I love seeing the movies that get nominated even though the Academy is hardly exempt from choosing the winners on a political basis rather than the merits of the film alone. But I love to see the craft of …

Mr. Jackson - My Favorite President

Posted on February 15th, 2008 by Christopher.

Now that election season is heating up, I thought I would chime in on what I look for in a president.

Basically all candidates are compared to Andrew Jackson…. if they can’t hold a stick to President Jackson, they won’t get my vote.

When the 1828 election rolled around, a lot of people were terrified when they heard Andrew “Old Hickory” Jackson was running. If you’re wondering how a guy I’m calling a bad ass got such a lame nickname, it’s because he used to carry a hickory cane around and beat people senseless with it, and if you’re wondering why he did that, it’s because he was a fucking lunatic.

Former Democratic Senator and Secretary of the Treasurey Albert Gallatin …

Privacy In Public

Posted on January 15th, 2008 by Christopher.

Even Christine once a staunch ACLU supporter (now a self proclaimed “Moderate” - which pretty much automatically disqualifies oneself for ACLU membership) has lost faith in an organization that seems on the surface (their title) that it should be about things that both her and I tend to care about. (Keeping and expanding our freedoms).

The ACLU lates and greatest cause is to argue that people are entitled to privacy even when they are in public. I know what your thinking.. “That doesn’t so bad”. Well what about if that privacy right the ACLU is arguing for is the right to have private sex in a public restroom. Yes.. you read that right… In an …
