The abortion debate fascinates me because the two sides simply can’t ever agree. If you are pro-choice, you see a martyred man who fulfilled a job that is legal in the United States and died for his beliefs. If you are anti-abortion, you condemn the killing yet can’t help give thanks for the abortions that [...]

The highlight of my early summer is always the first two weeks when I do nothing but read. I read a lot during the year but very few novels, especially complex novels. It’s just too difficult to read them 3 pages at a time while watching the kids, then from 9:45 to 10:30 while half [...]

Attention: Greatest sporting event of the year takes place this afternoon, 4:30 to 7:00 on ESPN Classic. Champions League final between Manchester United and Barcelona from Rome. Don’t miss it!
Go Barca! (But ManU should win 3-2.)

In a rare bit of political anger, I’d have to say I’m a bit tired of Dick Cheney hogging my television screen. First of all, Republicans would have gone INSANE if Bill Clinton had spent the first months of the Bush presidency going from interview to interview criticizing the new president, especially on matters of [...]

My top song this week is from Japandroids. Check out “Young Hearts Spark Fire” on their MySpace page. It’s the song you’re listening to when you crash your Camaro into a bridge pylon at 2:30 p.m. after skipping your afternoon classes and smoking too much hash in the park.

Received a nice mullet spotting guide from Molly in my e-mail today. Now some might say mullet humor has outlived its time. I disagree. At the same time, it’s rare that I learn something new about mullets. After all, MulletsGalore.com was perhaps the first totally pointless web site I remember laughing at back in about [...]

So it’s one of those weeks when life just won’t let up. Not in a tragic way—I get that living in Sudan is a true “life just won’t let up” life—but in a way that wears me slick. National Honor Society graduation, Mother’s Day, work on the house, party for my intern’s last day, grocery [...]

Sometimes the only way to make it through a week is to think about everything that’s getting in your way. So here are the things annoying me this week:

Public Flossing. Since when did dental hygiene become so precious that it’s okay to walk down the hall and flick enamel at those around you? First I [...]

I only wish I used nothing but an iPod and iTunes for the way it saves your Most Popular Songs of the Week list. Since I switch between my vintage iRiver H140, a Creative Zen, CDs in the car, Rhapsody and Songbird on the computer, and Sirius on the stereo, I have no easy way [...]
