Italian Leather, Jesus Cheetos, And The Liberal Media

Senator Barack Obama is routinely called “elitist” by the “liberal” media (I’m personally sicked by the fact that I used to quotes in that sentence). But the Huffington Post is reporting that Senator McCain quite often wears $500 Italian shoes to campaign events.  He could probably buy the Jesus Cheeto if he and [...]

My Friends Died So That You And I Cound Enjoy This Family Restaurant

This morning before I go to sleep I had to comment on some sad and tragic news. Bennigans is closing. Bennigans, as much as the elite Whole Foods crowd may scoff, was a wonderful and magical place. When I moved back to Duval I must have eaten at Bennigans hundreds of times. [...]

We’re Not Laughing Out Loud.

I’ve never been a fan of the “LOL.”  I do a fair amount of instant messaging and I prefer to respond to someone that has written something especially funny with a simple HA.  But the implicit deal with use of the LOL is that you are responding to someone else that has said something funny.  [...]

On The Sad State Of Affairs In The Sunshine Empire

The Sunshine Empire is a place of sun, sand, and savagery unimaginable.  It is a place of violence and humidity.  A dichotomy of unbelievable opulence, and staggering suffering.   A general rule is that when the national or local economy goes south, the amount of crime and violence goes north, but these are times that [...]

Men And Hyphenated Names

How does one get a hyphenated name if you are a man? I can understand women who are from prominent families that want to keep the name. But how does a man get a hyphenated name, like McCain chief economic adviser Douglas Holtz-Eakin?

Side Rant

If you have an email address that is structured like garrettfamily@yahoo.com, or wilsonfamily@gmail.com, you are fucking retarded. You probably go to little league baseball games with one of the jerseys on that says something to the effect of “Tommy’s Dad” or “Timmy’s Mom” in the player name space and you need to be beaten [...]

Join The 21st Century Atlanta

If the level of how big-time your city is can be surmised from it’s airport, then Atlanta has some room to go. I understand that Atlanta is the home of Coca-Cola, but in this cosmopolitan city of the south there was not one fucking energy drink to be had. No Red Bull at [...]
