I can see the man’s point. I heard the moving van pull up this morning. When I got home this evening I happened to spy my neighbor (he’s like 85 years old – I don’t know exactly, but he’s old, talks and moves very slowly) standing on the sidewalk next to the van. I walked [...]

One question I keep coming back to: I keep reading (all over the damn place) that in regards to Libby’s conviction, it was somehow erroneous because “no underlying crime had been committed” and Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald has not brought anyone up on charges (read: Dick Armitage) for revealing the name of an undercover CIA [...]

So after a weekend of running our first ever mountain bike festival into the history books and pouring a week’s worth of Deschutes Brewing’s production down my neck I felt pretty good about the world. Then this morning I returned to work and began the day with my usual “Coffee and Scandal” fifteen minutes on [...]

This is fucking great stuff. From: Graeme Subject: Hey guess what? You live in a dictatorship !!! Over here, we’ve had the first attack in Scotland with a flaming car attempting to drive into the airport terminal whilst the occupants throw petrol bombs out. Thankfully since the seventies, terminal entrances have been designed to stop [...]

Sunday I decided it was time to ride. Lovedog had asked me join him on an “easy” ride. I should have known he’d bend me over a barrel and give me the business. But I’m a dumb ass. I met him ’round about 9:00am. And only then did I find out we were also riding [...]

I’ve been seeing this around the web tonight, the argument that Bush commuted Libby’s sentence rather than opting for the full pardon in order to shield himself and Darth Cheney from further scrutiny. I believe this is probably the closest to the truth we’re going to get in this matter. Well, George did it. Made [...]

Rob a 7-Eleven, you go to jail. Better you should lie to the authorities and obstruct the investigation into the 2003 leak of a CIA operative’s identity. But if Dick Cheney doesn’t have your back, fuck it, rob the 7-Eleven, slam a couple of 40s and think about what kind of Bic-pen tattoo you want [...]

File this under “you gotta be fucking kidding me”. President Bush commuted the sentence of former aide I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby Monday, sparing him from a 2 1/2-year prison term in the CIA leak case. Bush left intact a $250,000 fine and two years probation for Libby, according to a senior White House official, who [...]

This one is definitely than worth your time. “There are a lot of unhealthy people that are driven to sports and they are driven by their own demons, their own past. You see it in business too; I’ve known some very successful, wealthy people and they are the most unhappy people you will ever meet. [...]

In case you’ve ever lain in bed at night wondering why evolution hasn’t gotten rid of ugly people your prayers have been answered. So much for “straight up for down vote”. I guess that was just a line of bullshit all along. Senate Minority Whip Trent Lott recently said, “The strategy of being obstructionist can [...]
