I know that I’ve previously expressed my support for the venerable Fred D. Thompson, but I think that I need to switch it up and throw my hat into the Mike Huckabee ring*.  Why?
Because he’s Chuck Norris approved.

*Really just kidding here.

I’ve decided that Dennis Quaid is really a poor man’s Harrison Ford.
That’s your random thought for the week.  Mull it over.

Like all men, part of my “is a woman attractive” schema is based on the hypothetical question of whether or not I’d ever have sex with the woman in question.
There are other attributes as well, like whether or not I’d enjoy her company, if she has a nice personality, if she is a generally pleasant [...]

Just what the internet needs, another top 10 list.
What can I say? I’m human. I’m a guy, and I like women. I vehemently disagree with Maxim over the atrocity that is Lindsay Lohan at the number 1 hottest woman (Two or three years ago when she was actually hot, maybe. Right now? No.). So now [...]

I’m going to run a little test inspired by Paris Hilton.  It’s actually inspired by a couple of posts I’ve read recently on keywords, but Paris Hilton jumpstarted my idea.
If everything I read is true (which prior experience tells me it is), using keywords increases traffic to your blog, and Paris Hilton is quite familiar [...]

I wasn’t going to post anything about this, because I really didn’t know what to say.  I figured anything I talked about that was news-worthy would be easy to find anywhere else, and I didn’t want to aid in the inevitable sensationalism.  But I’ve come across a couple of things that I want to make note of.

You can find plenty of other sources of commentary about this out there on the intarweb, I just want to comment on a few quotes I’ve come across.
First up, we have the hypocritical media whore himself, Al Sharpton:
Sharpton had pressured CBS to [...]

So MSNBC has pulled Imus’ televised broadcast in the wake of all this hypocritical hullabaloo.  That’s great.
I came across a column by Jason Whitlock.  He’s black.  Oops, can I say that?  Crap.
Anyway…
He clearly has no love for Don Imus, but he recognizes that this witch hunt is ridiculous and is not what anyone concerned with “race [...]

You may or may not be familiar with the controversy surrounding radio and tv talk show host, Don Imus.  Here’s a recap.
Imus made the now infamous remark during his show Wednesday.
The Rutgers team, which includes eight black women, had lost the day before in the NCAA women’s championship game. Imus was speaking with producer Bernard [...]

I’m not a huge music guy.  I don’t have a favorite artist or a favorite genre.  I listen to what I enjoy, which covers pretty much everything from country to classical.  Hence, I didn’t have much invested in the outcome of the 49th annual Grammy Awards.  I didn’t watch all of the Grammys, but I do listen to the [...]
