Yes, girls, it’s summer, and that means another “Janet Evanovich” book to keep you amused while waiting for the plane or watching the kids at the pool.
The good news: LOTS more Ranger in this one.
The bad news? Alas, most of the plot twists have been done before.
When we last left Stephanie, her cousin’s Bail Bond […]

Lets face it, Chloroform is messy, it smells, and if you don’t know what you are doing can have some pretty terminal side effects. Xanax on the other hand is small and portable, but the downside is that you need a prescription for it, and depending on your health insurance coverage it can be quite […]

I think the picture says it all.

Um, hi Mom, I dressed up for the big wedding, I even had my servants polish my medals. I do hope that you won’t send me to the Tower Of London just because of my kids. Beatrice told me that Pretzel Hats were all the craze. In fact she […]

It takes quite a bit to shock me. I watch the TV news and day after day I see graphic pictures of the path of destruction that Mother Nature has left. Tornadoes, Earthquakes, Tsunamis, Hurricanes, we have plenty of them. We even have the (more than required) Man Made Disasters. The BP/Transocean idiocy should be […]

My father was an expert, there was little that he could not coax to grow. As a child I have vivid memories of him growling and complaining about Asparagus. He had planted some seeds several years previous and the damn plants just kept coming up year after year. In his mind they were nothing short […]

This was an older video, but I think it demonstrates quite well the dynamics at work within the Casey Anthony defense.
As with most jokes, there has to be a ’set up’ phase. I think the photo shows that. Everyone is paying attention to Casey.

The Pillsbury Dough Boy is clearly in on the joke. While […]

It was another fun packed day in Judge Perry’s courtroom. Another day of dealing with the Frye questions. For the most part it was a yawn inducing event. It was a day of the ‘now’ common audio and visual problems that people have come to accept as just part of the process.
Personally I feel that […]

As the Casey Anthony trial looms large in the near future the flurry of motions by the defense team has increased significantly. Just about the only motion Jose Baez and Cheney Mason has not yet filed is an objection to the style of foot […]

Every innovation has three phases. When it is new, it is expensive and exclusive, when the technology catches on it becomes cheap and mainstream, and then it enters a phase of decline, the result is always the same. The great innovation dies. Except for a few die hard fans, the world moves on to the […]

I have to admit that I am a big fan of products that do only one thing, I like phones that actually make calls, I like TV’s that actually show TV programs, and kitchen appliances that do exactly what they are designed to do. I take a slice of bread, put it in the toaster, […]

In light of certain events that have transpired in U.S. politics and economics in recent weeks, I offer my humble opinion as a citizen.
We all feel the pain and anguish for Japan right now, as well we should, but we know what has happened will lead to an endless discussion of nuclear power in this […]

People that know me also know that I care a great deal about the art of interviewing. It actually is quite simple, spend some time researching the person or subject, come up with a few points, and let the person talk.
You only have to listen to the masters of the art to understand Interviewing […]

The good news is that this has not happened yet. But it certainly seems that way. Lead attorney Jose Baez and his always abrasive side kick Cheney Mason seem intent on waging a war of suppression before the trial even starts. It does not seem to be a winning strategy, Judge Belvin Perry seems to […]

My wife likes to watch the local news, each afternoon we get a healthy dose of news from New Orleans. One can only stand so much of the political corruption stories, lets face it, you can go to any large city to find them, the names change, but the story remains the same.

I heard a very serious and disturbing story today. A young lady is dead, she did not think that her derrière came up to scratch and so decided to enhance it. But rather than seek the efforts of doctors she decided to let someone inject silicone into her buttocks. The silicone found an easy route […]

I spend a good deal of time railing on fast food companies over health and nutrition aspects. Occasionally though credit must be given where it is due. One doesn’t often think of a fast food chain as being a leader in a sporting field, but Taco Bell is. There is little doubt that without their […]

In some ways finding interesting and entertaining sites on the internet is akin to NASA’a quest to find earth like planets in distant constellations. The term needle in a haystack hardly does the problem justice.
The Internet is awash in junk. Much of it is a digital landfill of decaying binary garbage. Half a billion flies […]

Several months ago my wife and I made the decision that we were fed up with Cable TV. The price of the service seemed to be increasing faster than inflation in Mongolia, which was calculated at 28% in 2008. Of course Mongolia could curb their problem if they permitted the export of canned mutton, but […]

How’s that for holiday spirit??
I’ve just about had enough of the minimization of Christmas. Political correctness, coupled with bitter, angry atheists, have all but destroyed any remnants of the reason for celebrating this holiday, and I am at an unprofessional boiling point. Yes, this shall be one of my rants.

I am a big fan of cooking. Of course like most guys I view the success of a meal not only by taste and presentation but how much damage I can inflict on the kitchen. Success is measured by the amount of dirty dishes randomly scattered on the counters, (well the double sink fills up […]

I was recently watching a documentary about Nostradamus, some claim him to be the greatest fortune teller of all time, however his predictions were done in such a way as to be obscure. Scholars have heatedly debated the quatrains for many, many years. Was he sage or village idiot? Did he predict the assassination of […]

Will Ferrell is famous as one of Hollywood’s top comedic leading men known primarily for his overacting and generally crazy onscreen antics.   However, Ferrell has a complementary talent: (other than his sexy crooning vocals featured in “Semi-Pro”) voice acting.
