“I fear that we have awakened a sleeping giant,” said the Japanese captain, referring to America after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. Of course, I can feel pretty comfortable quoting this unnamed (unnamed because I don’t feel like doing a search on his real name) Japanese captain verbatim for a few reasons:

1. He may [...] Continue Reading…

Hang on…let me just finish “friending” Michael Phelps on Facebook. Ok, let’s get started.

The scores are just in, and yes!!! Mary Carillo can now lay claim to having the deepest voice of any female reporter in history!

I think that the Chinese should get that cute little girl who lip synced for the not-so-cute girl [...] Continue Reading…

As a conservative through and through, there are easier things in life (understatement of the year) than making a case on why to vote for John McCain.

I’m trying to remember where I was, but sometime, somewhere recently I was eating ice cream out with my wife and kids. My 2 year old daughter loves ice cream. I know, I know, big shocker.
