I’m not running a baseball logo contest. But CNBC is.
Darren Rovell of CNBC announced a contest where folks like you and me can vote on which logos we like best.
It’s laid out pretty much like the NCAA basketball tournament. There are four brackets of 16, and the teams in each bracket are seeded 1 to [...]
Former Congresswoman and Vice Presidential candidate Geraldine Ferraro (D-NY) said that Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) wouldn’t be where he is … leading the Democratic race … if he was White.
And now she’s quit her post on the Clinton campaign because of the flack she’s caught over her comments.
All for being correct.
Yes, Ferraro was telling the [...]
Turns out that, at least according to a New York Times report, Silda Alice Wall Spitzer (Can I use her full name? Or is that racist?), wanted her husband Eliot to stay on as Governor.
Wait a second.
The wife wants him to stay in office?
I’ve been married twice and can testify that not all women are [...]

Every year, after Christmas, there’s always the issue of dealing with the tree.
You know what I mean. If you have a live tree, you have to dispose of it in some way.
Some places do pickups of trees. Some don’t.
We have to dispose of ours.
Only, this year, we haven’t disposed of it yet.
Oh, we took it [...]

I was listening to John Gibson on the radio tonight. And they were talking about choices for Vice President. And they had a discussion about whether or not Bill Clinton could be Hillary’s Vice President.
They looked all though the Constitution trying to find out if he could.
They must have overlooked the 12th Amendment. That’s the [...]

Turns out that the nice young lady that answers the phone for the John Gibson show really couldn’t understand me.
I was out of line.
And to her, I apologize.

So it looks like New York Governor Eliot Spitzer (D) is in all kinds of hot water over paying prostitutes for sex.
Okay, what else would you pay a prostitute for. But you understand what I’m saying.
I understand he paid a hooker between $1,000 and $5,000 for sex.
What the heck?
He paid how much?
For sex?
Heck, I paid [...]

Seems that Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) has spurned Senator Clinton’s (D-IL,AR,DC,NY) suggestion that he take the Vice Presidential slot on the Democratic ticket.
This seems to make sense, on the face of it. His rejection, that is.
Obama leads Clinton in the delegate count.
Obama leads Clinton in the popular vote.
Obama has won more states than Clinton.
But Obama [...]
If you’re not a Baptist, you might not understand all the subtleties of this. But, hey, you might.
I’m a Baptist. Southern Baptist.
And I read today that the Southern Baptist Convention had taken up the global warming cause.
That surprised me.
Let me first clarify things for non-Baptists.
The Southern Baptist Convention is a conglomeration of Southern Baptist churches. [...]
There’s a cartoon making the rounds on the Internet about now. It purports to be a strip from The Wizard of Id.
And it is. Mostly.
The punch line has been edited.
Here’s what’s making the rounds:
And here’s the original comic:
Actually, I agree with both versions.
But, for the sake of accuracy, I thought it best to call attention [...]
