I’m being ironic in the post title. Fred Thompson can take his sweet time for the ‘08 election because it’s still about a year and a half away.
Still, for the first real time, it looks like Fred’s getting serious about announcing a run.
Mr. Thompson is creating a committee that will let him begin raising money […]
Two brief stories caught my eye while reading USA Today (Thursday, 5/24/07).
The first one concerned the state of Florida, which opened a hydrogen fueling station in order to accommodate a fleet of Ford buses (eight, to be exact) that the state purchased for the transportation of tourists, customers, and employees between the Orlando International Airport, […]
I read a cool article in the May 2007 issue of Popular Mechanics magazine by Jay Leno, who has an article featured in every month’s issue about his car collection.
In this issue, he titled his article “The 100-Year-Old New Idea.” It’s about three cars he’s owned for years already that run on alternative energy. The newest […]
Richie McRicherton Mitt Romney is saying he’ll decline the President’s salary if elected, in an obvious attempt to seem humble in the face of his status as the richest presidential candidate around.
Well, technically he’d accept the salary and then donate it to charity. You know what this means? Vote for Romney, or else you hate […]
Although I’ve made a lot of points about Global Warming and how phoney it might be, it’s always good to hear that we pollute less anyway.
It’s being reported that the U.S. actually dropped carbon dioxide emissions in 2006, which coincided with a cooler climate over the winter.
While this was happening, the U.S. economy grew by […]
For a woman who was once willing to camp outside of Dubya’s Crawford, TX ranch in order to talk to him, this is pretty unexpected.
Cindy Sheehan, the California mother who became an anti-war leader after her son was killed in Iraq, declared Monday she was walking away from the peace movement.
She said her son died […]
Google, the company that has the famous motto “Don’t be evil,” has once again failed to recognize Memorial Day on their website.
Last year, Google didn’t do it either, leading to some criticize, since Google will celebrate just about anything. I don’t get it - Memorial day isn’t a very political holiday.
Google celebrated Earth Day even […]
This is both a non-story and a story. A breakthrough in cancer screening that could allow doctors to find out your predispositions to certain types of cancers could be happening. The problem is that it hasn’t even happened. Scientists are simply expecting it to happen.
Researchers are confident that their findings will allow a screening […]
I woke up today to a bright Milwaukee day, thinking “hey, my column is supposed to be in the paper today.” I walked to work, looked up the Journal-Sentinel’s website on my computer, and disappointingly didn’t see my column. Huh, I figured. They must have moved me.
Then, I was informed by an […]
It’s Friday, almost weekend time, so I thought I’d share a little wildcard post with you all. Here are some of history’s biggest drinkers, according to Wikipedia:
John Barrymore - supposedly drank over 600 barrels of hard liquor in his day
Frank Sinatra once said “Alcohol may be man’s worst enemy, but the bible says love your […]
