Shocked

Things change so fast.  One minute you’re on top of the world, hopeful, optimistic, young.  Then it all comes crashing down.  My dreams are shattered, my joy gone.  Hope Schmope.
I use to have piles of respect for President-elect Obama.  I used to think that he was a different brand of politician and could bring about [...]

The original GW

America’s first President set a precedence for wacky hairdos that other Presidents would try to live up to for decades to come.
This is the first in a set that I plan on doing weekly.  Each will be based on the Presidents portrait in the National Portrait Gallery. Next week: John Adams.

Finally. It’s over.

The greatest part about this whole election cycle is that it is finally over.  I feel like I just finished watching two horse dwarfs mud wrestle for the last two years.  Geeze, it was horrendous.

Other outlandish but shockingly true conspiracies!

Completely plausible conspiracy #1.
There is a masochistic dental conspiracy.
It’s true! Dentists are indoctrinated from their earliest days of dental school on the proper mauling and torturing of poor folks who just want to get their cavities filled. How do I know this? Well, duh, all dentists hurt people, like, every day! [...]

A bright and prosperous future.

Just a few quick notes before the week officially starts.

Big day tomorrow.  Can’t say why, but trust me, it big-ness.

New caricature to [...]

All it needs is a little more hot sauce

If any of you ever come to Rochester, New York there is one thing you must try. Chicago may have its pizza, Philadelphia its cheese-steaks, in Smugtown we have the Garbage plate.

I know what you’re thinking, the name is very apropos. The garbage plate (or just a ‘plate’ as is commonly used to [...]

Dum, dum-dum dum, DUM!

A recent story was interesting enough for me to pull myself out of blogger cold-storage and post something.
I like to think I am at least semi-literate. I might kid myself into thinking that I am halfway intelligent. But at least I can pronounce Sarkozy without a phonetic guide. And I didn’t even [...]

Am I biased?

Maybe. But at least I try to make fun of both sides.
That one is for you James.

Where the wind blows……

…. that’s where he goes.
I don’t think it is a sin to change your mind. In fact, I think we should have more politicians who are able to think for themselves rather than supporting tired policy (and rhetoric) that is ineffective, outdated or downright wrong (ahem- Iraq). However, I want a president who [...]
