The State of the Union

I came into this State of the Union address feeling angst and disappointment.   Disappointed in the President for not being stronger and the democrats in congress for being spineless and disgust at the pettiness of politicians on both sides of the aisle.  But mostly I feel pain for my fellow Americans and intense confusion [...]

Landmark Education – My Personal Opinion and Experience

Before I get started there are a couple of things I need to say about Landmark for preface and transparency.

I have taken the first two Landmark curriculum classes.  The Forum and The Advanced Course.  I also signed up for and completed the first work day of the third and final course (Self Expression and Leadership [...]

Why Do People Drive Like Idiots?

I don’t know what it is like where you live, but in Seattle people drive like idiots. Not a day goes buy that you don’t encounter some nimrod making a jack ass out of himself behind the wheel. Now, I can’t say I am totally immune of the occasional buffoonery, but I generally think that I drive carefully with the appropriate amount of aggressiveness and a general awareness of what is going on around me. And really, that’s all I ask of others.

Twitter Mania

I’m watching Larry King and they are talking all about twitter. So, in their honor, I was going to go and twitter something witty to my blog, but twitter is down. Crashed by the masses. Who knew a couple of celebs on Larry King Live could cause such a ruckus.

There weren’t any lines or crowds as we live in a small town (well actually a very small incorporated seattle suburb) with [...]

Sarah Palin’s Wardrobe

Now, we all know where my politics lie, but I have to comment on this whole deal about Sarah Palin’s 100k wardrobe.
I really don’t see why everyone is making such a big deal about this.
I do see the hypocritical air of having such an extensive clothing allowance while preaching to everyone her down home flair and [...]

Who Names Their Kid That?

My father in law was here this weekend and we were watching the baseball playoffs.  I am not a baseball fan so much.  I’m more of a basketball fan.  Don’t get me started on the Sonics.  I digress.
Anyway, we’re watching the game and the announcer says the name ‘Coco Crisp’.  I’m like ‘Woah Woah, what [...]

Dear Joe Biden: Gut her, but nicely

Poor Joe Biden has quite the dilemma tonight. His job is to take Sarah Palin out, but he also risks sounding pompous and elitist if he goes after her too aggressively.
It’s almost too easy to make Sarah Palin sound incompetent, she doesn’t even know which newspapers she reads, or should I say that the [...]
