Why am I seeing tax prep commercials now? TV should not be stressing me out about this before the year is even over.

The President and the Supreme Court went into crisis mode, on a weekend, to deny food assistance to Americans.

Extremely proud of my little neighborhood punching above its weight in the trick or treat game this year, and of my wife for making sure everyone drove safely down our street.

Dodger Stadium organ, yeah we get it. Go get a drink or something.

The World Series is currently the 19th story down the page in Google News’ sports section.

Yeah, baseball is languishing in hockey territory in terms of popularity and I called it in 2004 when MLB put all their marketing into the Red Sox/Yankees Industrial Complex.

Did The Cure name their album “Head on a Door” as a reference to the Young Ones episode in which they are mentioned?

This will kill me, I’m calling it now. I’ll be walking over to Downer St on a Sunday to pick up some beer and Cheezits before the Packers game and one of these cars will run me over, probably at Park and Maryland.
