About Me

  • I am a happily married father of two who recently began pursuing his dream of being an author.  I self-published Paranoia through iUniverse and am currently shopping my next novel, The Offensive to agents and publishers.  Writing isn't a career yet, but maybe someday!<!--Session data--><!--Session data-->

  • Seriously, How Many Times Do I Have to Email You For You To Understand I'm Not a Spammer?

    November 18, 2009

    • Two days ago, I received an email from a friend of mine. The email contained a forwarded SPAM email which tried to sell my friend some super Viagra or something like that. While I was still marvelling at how accurate targeted email lists had become, and while I was still conjuring up the many insults about my friend's manhood that are worthy only of good friend lest you get your teeth knocked ...
  • Maybe After the Jobs Summit, We Can Invite Khalid Sheikh Mohammed Back to the White House for a Beer

    November 13, 2009

    • President Obama has announced that he is going to have a Jobs Summit in December.For the love of God, Barack, can't you do anything without some grandstanding? You've finally come to accept the fact that joblessness is a problem - despite your claims that the stimulus has created or saved - what is it now? - a gajillion jobs? Something gets my Spidey senses a-tingling over your numbers, though I ...
  • Is It Politically Incorrect to Call Political Correctness "Jackassery"?

    November 11, 2009

    • As I was driving into work today, I noticed a bumper sticker on a car in front of me and one lane over. It was one of those bumper stickers that I don't think you're meant to read unless the car is parked, because it's so small you have to get dangerously close to the other car and take your eyes off the road in order to read it. Mind you, I'm not saying I did that!! Goodness, no. I just happen ...
  • Good Luck, Mr. Christie. We're All Counting On You.

    November 4, 2009

    • I'm proud of my fellow New Jerseyans today. Congratulations to Chris Christie on winning the gubernatorial race (alas, it will be quite some time before I get to use 'gubernatorial' as much as I have in recent days...). Anyway, we'll get back to Chris Christie in a moment.I want to temper my pride in my fellow New Jerseyans just a drop because while we went out and crusaded against, in large ...
  • Vote Early, Vote Often (OK, Just Kidding About the Often Part)

    November 2, 2009

    • November 2. Day of the Dead in Mexico. While that sounds creepy and may invoke images of restless spirits, vengeful poltergeists, animated skeletons and lumbering zombies, the reality is that all that occurs on the Day of the Dead is that dead people are entitled to a free dessert at Applebees.Kind of anti-climactic, I know. Those Mexicans just don't know how to do a holiday. At least we would ...

Comments I've Written

  • Thanks...

    Of course, I'll check those out. I hope my "American ignorant of the rest of the world's traditions" came across as tongue-in-cheek as it was supposed to be. :)
  • thanks..

    Glad you enjoyed it...I'll be keeping an eye on this and write more if anything comes of it. :)
  • wow..

    that last part is sickening political correctness.
  • Well Put

    I, by no means, am trying to imply we're perfect..as I stated.
  • Artistically

    Artistically, it was excellent - a fairly refreshing step away from the glut of ever-more-realistic CGI movies. I can't remember the last animated movie I saw that wasn't Pixar or Dreamworks.
