I’ve often imagined General Washington on the battlefield looking for recruits to help America fight for independence from Britain.  After he gives a resounding speech on why man should be free a farmer asks the general if America will continue to provide him with food stamps, section 8 housing, social security and welfare.  Upon hearing [...]

The Republican party must be the most bizarre political party ever created.  Very rarely can I and my conservative friends figure out what they are trying to do and why.  I voted Republican in the last two out of three elections (In 2008 I voted Constitution Party…there was no way I was going to vote [...]

1.   The “Here’s a Random Picture of My Kid” Douchebag It used to be that during the holidays people would send you greeting cards.  They were usually simple and included a nice message like, “Wishing YOU and YOURS a very Merry Christmas!”  As the narcissistic nature of our society has increased (see my article Facebook [...]

So far I’ve gone through 3 MacBook Pros in my quest to find one that’s up to my Quality Control (QC) standards.  One was dirty and had glue on the screen, one had scratches and a mis-aligned lid, the last one had a defective piece of trim.   Quality Control is not a difficult thing, but [...]

When you read the negative reviews of eHarmony, they generally follow the same track.  People try it out by signing up for 6 months, end up having two dates and then give up.  My experience was different.  I signed up for two months and after my second month had an average of 2 dates per [...]

So a while back I was looking for a lawncare service and decided to go with TruGreen. The representative was very friendly and I was able to negotiate a fair deal for the yard plus a free lime treatment and even a few extra weed treatments.  For the first few months things went great, then [...]

Okay, so I’m not saying that you’re a douchebag by using Facebook, I’m saying you may be a douchebag based upon how you use Facebook and what you think it’s for.  Saturday morning I went to start mowing the lawn and there was a young lady further down the street yelling as loud as she [...]
