OK. OK. One toe over line there. But it’s true, Gerald Ford is dead at 93. That leaves Clinton, Carter and Bush as the only living ex-presidents. Carter and Bush were both born in 1924. Bush in June, Carter in October. Clinton just turned 60.

When I heard the news I was drinking Guiness […]

Greetings. And Merry Christmas. These are strange, reflective days. The shortest days of the year. The kingfisher flies to calm the waters of the East River.

The past few nights I’ve had trouble sleeping. Last night, I slept on and off, intermittently dreaming of savage arguments with my boss. The night before that I laid in […]

This is pretty savage. So savage in fact that even a Christmas party with free Ketel One might not be able to numb the pain. Apparently Sen. Tim Johnson (D-South Dakota) has fallen ill, seriously ill

And at this moment, Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) is reported to be in Johnson’s hospital room injecting his body with […]

Got an interesting call from Boston last night. Apparently a “friend” of mine was eager to remind that I stand to lose a substantial amount of booze (ketel one and maker’s mark) in the next few weeks, depending on the outcome of a few NFL games.

Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert apparently committed a major diplomatic gaffe this week when he told the world that Israel has nuclear weapons. Ultimately this is a non-revelation, revelation. This cat has long been out of the bag. Sort of like Lance Bass telling the world he’s gay only with radioactive weapons, rather than radioactive […]

Less than two weeks to go before freedom-loving nations across the globe will celebrate the birth of the baby jesus and predictably the newscycle is grinding to a halt. Can’t stop to read, must shop, must kill for diamonds.

This weekend the Iraq story of the day was how President Bush would respond to the […]

Very interesting item in today’s Page Six. I might be reading this wrong but it appears that Lindsay Lohan is poised to run for president. Steampipe is currently working to confirm some of the details, but sources say Lohan will run as an independent and that she will hire Al Gore as her […]

George Bush I losing it

George H.W. Bush broke down in public the other day and the mainstream media, i.e. government information ministers, are saying he was emotional about his son Gov. Jeb Bush leaving office. Maybe. Just maybe.

Jeb Bush is not an untter failure at life and maybe that makes the former president happy. […]
