Name Change

I'm wary of having my name as the title of the blog. OK, not wary. I just think it looks lame. So don't be surprised if the title changes often, like how some people change their answering machine message everyday at work to let you know they'll be in today, or out of the office on Tuesday, or that they're leaving early on Friday for an off-site strategy meeting.

Yahoo! News - Bush Pokes Some Fun During Media Dinner

Link.


Bush put on a slide show, calling it the "White House Election-Year Album" at the Radio and Television Correspondents' Association 60th annual dinner, showing himself and his staff in some decidedly unflattering poses.

There was Bush looking under furniture in a fruitless, frustrating search. "Those weapons of mass destruction have got to be somewhere," he said.



Yeah, George, that's hilarious. I'll be sure and tell that funny joke to my friend who's going to Iraq in June.

Man, times have changed

We never had things like this at Baylor.

It's rampant!

I'm telling you, these kids are really starting young.

Throw the book at him

Sorry, little Jimmy, this school has a no tolerance policy when it comes to drugs.

Iraq Coalition Casualties

No analysis, just the numbers.

Sports Friday

I hate the NBA, but I love the internet.

Ah heck, I'm in the transcript kind of mood tonight.

Happy Anniversary

Read it and weep.

Agree to disagree

People disagreed about the war in Iraq. People still disagree if the administration was honest about the war. People disagree about what we should do now in Iraq. That's fine.
No matter what, though, you gotta admit that Rumsfeld comes off like a big dork here.

Take the Quiz!!

Lucky bastards

This beats the hell outta my graduation speaker (who was, by the way, Robert B. Sloan, Jr.)

My first terrorism post

As linked on Eschaton, among other places...

The right would like to set up the following argument: If there are no attacks between now and the election, then Bush has defended us from terror and deserves re-election; if there is an attack between now and the election, then voting for Kerry would be appeasement.

Spain is just the dry-run.


I agree. That's why I think David Brooks is full of crap. Sorry, Nolen.

UPDATE:
The NYT editorial for today sums it up nicely, I think.

Fun Tuesday story

"This is Jack Nicholson."

Good news...

for George Costanza.

The best way to view this blog...

Is "Swedish Chef."

Great Googley Moogley

Wow, so in the last post, I got a comment from a Matt Kuzma in Minnesota.
My dad's name is Matt, too, and it's the weirdest thing -- since moving to Chicago, about once a month I run into someone who knows a Kuzma. I know this isn't a unique idea, but I figure I oughta find out where all the Kuzma's are from, and where they're at.

How, you wonder, did Matt Kuzma (MN) find the site? Well, it looks like this blog is so popular, it's #1 on the Google Search for my name.

In the past, I was always being overshadowed by either Dad, the extreme sports guy, or the Ohio police officer. Number 1 baby!

Poster fun

The Bush/Cheney website has a custom poster tool here. You can add your own custom message. Hmmm, I wonder what kind of fun you can do with that?

For guidelines on banned and accepted words you can use, try here.

My poster says...

"Thank you for not paying attention...Bush/Cheney '04

Baylor: The Talk of the Town

Unbelievable. The stand that my old newspaper, The Baylor Lariat, took a couple of weeks ago on gay marriage got serious support from this week's New Yorker.

Awesome!

What's next, OJ for city council?

This is just ridiculous.

Flip flops

Haven't had a political post in a while, so please enjoy this one from
Daily Kos. The Republicans are going to try and peg Kerry as a flip-flopper, so I figured we should have Bush's list of flip-flops out in the open. Enjoy!

Stock Tip

If the rise and fall of the stock market were tied to how I spend my free time these days, I'd be making a killing off of the 10 shares I own of this company.

This blog supports equal rights

Fight the power!

Wow

I guess the President of my alma mater, Baylor University, has a lot to be outraged about these days. You know, players murdering other players, coaches spreading mass corruption throughout the athletic department, gay marriage...

Economics link! Economics link!
Bill and Mary, I think you should move to Texas right away. Do you realize how unsafe your town is?

I saw this linked on Dave Barry's website.
Fun, literary, and brief. Enjoy.
I'm not touching the gay marriage issue yet -- there are far more urgent moral/cultural/religious issues to discuss, I think.
