Since yesterday’s post generated 41 comments, I figured someone out there must at least give a shit.
So they are at it again. Presidental Candidate Ron Paul (R-Texas) has been to date excluded from the Republican debate in Iowa. Whether or not you like the guy, he is an essential voice which needs to [...]

Pop up a nice bowl of popcorn, turn off your fucking television and watch this video tonight. I am not sure what to say other than be a critical citizen, get informed and begin to precipitate change.
When you are done you might want to read this page and see what the buzz [...]

The day just got a little longer for a certain Eagles fan we all know.
Jonny, this makes Festina look like Sesame Street.

Went there for “business”. I like to use the quotes when I talk about some of my [...]

My sincere apologies for all of you who have had to wake up in the morning and drink your coffee, read your dc and take a huge crap without a single word from yours truly. But you can’t wipe with a webpage anyway so if you would like paper sent to you please let [...]

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 [...]

There are things we do because when looking into the future they seem like a good idea to better ourselves. Or more than likely we are overcome with a sense of bravado. I cop to the latter and got myself and three buddies, Otto, Danny, and Matt into something which we may regret [...]
