Monday, October 22nd, 2007CNN has a timely Parenting article about what scares children and how to handle it. It’s not bad reading, and a lot of it rings true to my own experiences. But what they really need is a little more specific advice for dads.
Some examples:
A recycler I visit is right across the street from a cemetery. [...]
Lick My Eye Disease
Friday, October 12th, 2007My left eye weeps steadily, forcing me to daub it with a tissue from time to time so it doesn’t get rubbed raw. It makes me feel like a James Bond villain, like I should be at the controls of an orbiting mind control laser (or at least playing baccarat Texas hold ‘em) rather than [...]
Tom is Full of Crap
Thursday, September 20th, 2007If you’re on MySpace, you know who Tom is. He’s the guy who runs the place, who puts his profile on every friends list ever created, and sends out all those little messages every time MySpace is hacked, down, or otherwise suffering some misfortune.
Tom also tries to protect us from spam. As I’ve said, MySpace [...]
Capitalism, Wow!
Thursday, September 6th, 2007There’s a lot of commotion about dangerous products coming out of China lately, and now everyone’s in an uproar. Why is everyone so surprised?

Three Day Weekend
Saturday, September 1st, 2007I’ve got a three day weekend and I don’t wanna know nothin’.
I don’t care that Kevin Bacon’s new flick Death Sentence sucks ass. I don’t care about David Beckham’s knee. I don’t care whether or not Tony Snow may have cancer. There’s no pro football this weekend, I haven’t watched the races lately, and I’m [...]
Smoke Blog: The End Draws Near
Friday, August 3rd, 2007The potential tobacco tax I mentioned previously is one step closer to reality as the Senate recently passed the bill that would expand health coverage for children. It passed with such a wide margin that it’s expected a veto would do no good.
I’m all for better health care for children (and adults for that matter), [...]
Smoke Blog: The War on Tobacco
Friday, July 27th, 2007John Roling is reporting the Senate is considering a new tobacco tax that will increase the tax cap on cigars to as high as $10 per cigar. Thus a good $5 cigar could cost as much as $15, effectively extinguishing the habit for folks like John and myself forever.
This is going to be insult to [...]

These Are the Men Who Run Your Country
Sunday, June 17th, 2007Think government isn’t scary? Check this out:
Congressman Tom Lantos of California
Congressman Henry Waxman of California
Hmm. Maybe this explains why California is so messed up. Heh.
I’ve been sitting on the Lantos thing since I saw him on TV a couple months back. Credit goes to my Pops for the Waxman find.
