Tom Brady is not a team player

This is why I can’t stand Tom Brady

Mini-Belichek, even down to the hoodie…

New coach Josh McDaniels has sure put his stamp on the Denver Broncos. He’s already signed 12 new free agents. He alienated his pro-bowl QB, Jay Cutler, and yesterday traded him away for some draft picks and Kyle Orton.  I’ll leave it to the media to analyze the trade and the status of the team, [...]

How screwed are we?

I was watching “The Week with George Stephanopolous” this weekend and was struck by a comment made by Paul Krugman (recent recipient of the Nobel Prize in Economics).  He said, “Hardly a day goes by that I don’t fire up my browser and start my morning with an expletive.” He was referring to the daily [...]

Zidane Awarded Golden Helmet

Despite losing in the World Cup Final to Italy yesterday, Zinedine Zidane has been lauded with awards today. This morning, it was announced that he had been awarded the Golden Ball (awarded to the tournament’s MVP). Now, we are thrilled to break the news that Zidane has also been awarded the Golden Helmet (see image [...]

Baby Panda

If you get bored at work and want to watch a black and white bear follow it’s mom around all day, you can watch the Panda Cam at the Smithsonian National Zoo (scroll halfway down the linked page to see the little bugger in live action). Enjoy.

Finally, some recognition for this blog. I slave away at least 1 hour / week on this puppy, and, up until now, have yet to reap any profit or praise for my work. I was just days away from quitting blogging altogether, when I received a notice asking me to fly to LA [...]

Heart Healthy Pork

That's right, folks.  Researchers at the University of Missouri have created genetically engineered pigs that they hope will produce pork chops and bacon that will be better on the ticker than normal pigs.  Most of us have heard of omega-3 fatty acids and the positive effects that they can have (reduced risk of strokes and [...]

The Best Public Masturbation Story To Date

Joseph “Donald” Scordato of Paterson, NJ was charged with masturbating in public (in front a public movie theater) in September, 2005. This probably isn’t that unusual of an arrest, because I’m sure a lot of people get charged with this. However, there are several unusual and interesting parts to this specific public masturbation [...]

Branding your drugs

Hey Dealers,
Worried that your pot-laced-junk-food products aren't reaching your target demographic? If so, maybe you should take a hint from Kenneth Affolter, 39, who was selling THC infused candies and sodas from his 1740 Telegraph Ave building. Affolter and others were selling and marketing the products under the brand name "Beyond Bomb." [...]

Emperor Palpatine for Secretary of Interior?

Yesterday President Bush nominated Idaho Gov. Dirk Kempthorne as the new secretary of the interior. I saw this picture of Kempthorne next to a story about the nomination on the Idaho Mountain Express website. If you ask me, he looks a lot like Emperor Palpatine from the Star Wars movies. I guess [...]
