Kids are fat and that is bad

Captain Obvious is here to tell you why. Kids today watch too much TV and play too many computer/video games. Man oh man, do we really need to do studies to figure this stuff out?

However, it is interesting how they did the study. So it's worth reading the article.

Herrrreeee's Johnny!

Jack Nicholson making his case for Hillary. I saw the video yesterday. Not that impressed, and I know it won't help, but at least it's sort of clever.

If this is real...

It's completely horrible. If it's fake, it's completely stupid. Just read the story.

At least they're trying

This is a good sign. The fact that a Palestinian leader is calling for a cease-fire is a step in the right direction. We'll see if it's followed up in good-faith by both sides. That has always been the question over there. One side won't put down their arms until the other does...and neither is willing to do so.

The end of an era

Brett Farve is done. He will be missed. And he will be remembered as one of the All-time greats of the game. Now...it's up to Peyton Manning to beat his consecutive starts record!

To run or to quit

I think Hillary should stay in. Here are some interesting poll numbers concerning public opinion on the subject.

I have a very convoluted theory behind it, but the short of it is that I believe that Senator Clinton is a more realistic person than Barack Obama. And I fear that if a Democrat wins, the country would be better served with someone who has more experience in the public sector as well.

A situation in S. America

Hugo Chavez loves the spotlight...especially when it comes to shouting down the USA for something or another. We shall wait and see what comes of this.

Turmoil in Somalia

After taking time to learn more about the continent of Africa over the past year, I better understand the problems that are going on there. Al Qaeda does not help the situation and they need to be removed. Although, it doesn't seem as though the US hit the target on this one.

Ouch, one and a half stars

There was a time when people my age anxiously awaited every film that Will Farrell put out. Now I can't keep up with all of the sport themed movies he has made. It seems he might have lost some of his luster in this one. However, I will say, even a "bad" Will Farrell movie is better than many other comedies.

He did what!?

Remember yesterday when I said no one cares that Bloomberg is not going to run for president? Yeah well you care less about this story.

Ugh...I drive way too much for this

This can't go on forever...

can it?

Conservatives biggest fear

Is that John McCain was telling the truth here. I think it was an honest mistake, but it was pretty funny.

Can you say rigged?

What a complete joke. The Russians are starting to scare me...check that...they continue to scare me. I heard one theory that the Russian people put up with the political corruption because they actually like the idea of having a strong ruler with near absolute power. If that's true, are we in for another Cold War? Who will be on Russia's side on this one now that Communism is (for all intents and purposes) dead?

What a shame

This story speaks for itself. A guy who gasses thousands of his own countrymen...is the scum of the earth.

Prince Harry = Bada**

Sorry, but this guy is hard. When you think of princes you think of prissy type guys right? Not Prince Harry of England. He's third in line for the throne and he puts his life on the line in Afghanistan. That takes some cojones.

As far as any debate as to whether it was right or wrong to embargo the story of him being over there...I think the media actually acted in a responsible manner here. I'm glad they didn't run the story. I'm glad he got a chance to do what he had been trained to do. I have so much respect for those who serve their countries honorably. Prince Henry is now added to that list.

Call me paranoid but...

I really don't like all of the vaccinations and shots that the government and doctors are recommending for young kids. I don't even like taking OTC medicine when I'm sick. But the whole injecting viruses into kids at a young age thing is not appealing to me. The government is now highly recommending that kids aged 6 months to 18 years get flu shots every year. I never get my flu shot and yeah, sometimes I get the flu. I'm just glad the government hasn't started mandating flu shots. That's when we know something is really wrong. I don't like the government mandating anything dealing with my body.

He calls them "The Final Days"

Howard Kurtz, a columnist for the Washington Post, says it's almost over for Hillary Clinton. An entertaining column that spans liberal and conservative viewpoints.

Securing border costs $$$...duh

Did anyone think securing the southern border of the USA would be cheap or free? My guess is no. Now our government is saying it might be really expensive to secure the border properly. Yeah, it probably will be expensive and your point is? It can cost us billions and billions and the American people will not care. They want the border secured, bottom line.

If you're a conservative...

You admired William F. Buckley Jr...If you aren't a conservative you should have admired William F. Buckley Jr. if for no other reason than he was incredibly bright and he was not mean spirited like so many on the left tend to brand right leaning people. As President Bush said, "America has lost one of its finest writers and thinkers".

Bloomberg is out

Michael Bloomberg isn't running for president...does anyone care? I don't.
