He should suspend his campaign, in light of this crisis....

Jesus, this idiot hasn't been told he lost the race yet??!!??

Sen. John McCain is putting together a major economic plan that will be structured, in some ways, off of Newt Gingrich's famous Contract With America.

In an email obtained by the Huffington Post, the Arizona Republican's chief of staff, Marc Buse, asked an outside adviser for help with a "ten principles" program that the senator could use as a "definitive" platform.

"We are looking for some guidance on a definitive plan (aka contract with america style) on the economy...principles," writes Buse. "Ten principles that JSM could point to on what MUST BE DONE to address the problems our nation faces."

Buse doesn't offer specific suggestions of his own, save "NO TAX INCREASES."

As the linked post says, most people come up with an economic plan first, and THEN run for president...buy you know John, he's a maverick!!

McCloud!

Just passing it along from Dr. Monkey's site!

Here Comes the 123's!

Here is a video from the excellent band They Might Be Giants, from their equally excellent children's album Here Comes the 123's. This album/dvd combo is so good my wife and I listen to it even if Nate's not around! This clip has my personal fave song from the album 'The Number Two'



They have a companion cd/dvd set called Here Comes the ABC's, here's Nate rocking out to his favorite track on that one......check out the rock moves on this kid!


That kid slays me.

Ack, I've been away.....

Sorry for not posting in so long, but life has been hectic .....it's the time of year.

Tax season has begun, and I am working 6 day weeks (well, not entirely true, as my co-worker will be taking every other Saturday this year...woot!), and with the holidays and all, well, just haven't had the time or energy to write something down.

Some random thoughts, Joe the Plumber, what a stupendous jackass!!

Just 6 more days of another stupendous jackass!!!!

Hillary did good, I think she's going to make a great SOS.

That's all for now, but I promise to be better....don't want to get purged from anyones blogroll.....I can't take the rejection!!!!

88 Lines about 44 Presidents!

Saw this article over at Crooks and Liars, and I was reminded of the song 88 Lines About 44 Woman, by the Nails (I will post audio if I can find it), and thought, how funny it would be to make a song to the same beat about the 44 Presidents. I even have the last line down...

Barack Obama, punch my fist, we chose you to end this list.

Feel free to add a lyric, just make sure your favorite president matches up to the right part of the song!

Oh, and almost forgot, special shout out to Dr. Monkey Von Monkerstein....Thanks for the Thanksgiving postcard...what a pleasant surprise that was.

FOUND IT!!!

Wow, is it Friends Thanksgiving already???!!?? How the time does fly!

Yep, you all might remember last year, around this very same weekend, me and a group of friends meet up and have 'Friends Thanksgiving', it's like real Thanksgiving, only without the fighting siblings and shreiking mother.

I have the turkey in the oven (last year I barbecued the turkey, and it rocked, but it's pouring rain outside, so no 'cue for me), and have made so much stuffing I could pack 4 birds. All's left for me to handle is the gravy, as we do this thing pot luck style.

Fortunately for me, we are doing this on a Saturday this year, as last years Sunday debacle went on entirely too late, with whiskey being shot to the wee morning ours and a very bleary eyed, and mostly drunk DeviledHam staggering into work on Monday morning smelling like a turkey on a 3 week bender.

Wish me luck this year, and maybe I'll snap some photos of the festivities!!!

Happy Friends Thanksgiving to everyone!!!! And lay off the whiskey this year, or wife's gonna leave you!

Oh, how thoughtfull of me....

I baked you some bread! Pardon the crappy cell phone picture. I have recently started baking bread, it's a blast, and damn it makes the house smell good.
