I have Twittered about this, and I feel the need to explain: I think Obama is the candidate for November.
Why Obama:
He’s smart.  Exhausted utterance about fifty-eight states notwithstanding.  At least it isn’t the word “nucular.” Over and over.
He’s black.  This is not a reason, it’s an admission of (a) about freaking time, (b) a new perspective, (c) an ability to pull cultures together that hasn’t been seen yet (not that this is a guarantee).
He’s different.  His last name is neither Bush nor Clinton.
He’s likely learned from the past.  I still …

Props to this man for losing eighty pounds.  However…..
CNN – 80 lbs. lost on McMiracle diet
Nearly anything that actually gets that much extra bodyfat off you is good.  The man had a fifty-inch waist.  However, the quality of food he used to get where he is now is atrocious.  Never, ever, ever, should you skip breakfast.  Let alone while substituting the most powerful diuretic outside of a pill.  Caffeine plus an unexercised heart is a simple equation for heart attack.
The list of things he should do continues; eat a balanced …

I am ever-so-slowly making my way through the book “Are We Rome?” by Cullen Murphy. It’s a good book so far; he makes a fair amount of salient points – some I vehemently disagree with, but that’s what makes it a good book. However, when he starts to briefly profile Edwin Gibbon, the author of the seminal work “The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire,” he takes a quote from the historian who was an Englishman in the time of the Revolutionary War; he opposed it, …

I am lucky to be able to have two cars to depend on; when I got the Jeep, we decided to keep the Saturn.  Even though it was ten years old, it was still running, was in perfect condition (only two minor fenders-bender; neither my fault!), had never needed any real underhood work (the power of regular maintenance), and still had a really good interior.  So, it was good to haul it out today after I left the top down on the Jeep for what started out to be a …

Alright; I’ve added the Wordbook app to both the blog (http://www.dansanders.net) and to Facebook.  If all goes well, I post on the blog, it updates Facebook, and my laziness is preserved.

This is a transcript of a conversation I had tonight. I will be translating half of it from the original “cat.”
“Hey.”
“Hey, kitty.”
“I want some of that.”
“No, you don’t.”
“Yes, I do.”
“No, you don’t, trust me.”
“I do NOT trust you, I want some.”
“No you don’t! Here, here’s the knife, smell that.”
“Yeah, no, I don’t want that. I want what YOU’RE having.”
“This IS what I’m having!”
“Then put some of it down here.”
“”I’m not wasting a whole square inch of sandwich just so you can find out you don’t want it!”
“Mom would …

This… this.. just, this….
Indian School names monkey god chairman
If you felt good about outsourcing to the subcontinent before, now you can feel totally confident. It used to be a Bengal Tiger, but the board meetings got WAY out of hand. Besides, the tiger’s Ph.D. was from a diploma-mill.
My next question; how soon before Liberty University or Bob Jones University (direct quote from their website: “The University is accreditated through TRACS.”) are electing Jesus to their chairmanships?
