The House of Representatives sucks. In yet another example of how We the People need to have our hand held, that we can’t be trusted to make decisions about our lives, how we lead them, and how we spend our money, the House of Representatives passed the Goodlatte-Leach bill by a score of 317-93.

If you read this blog, and you like poker, then I strongly recommened you check out the goodies that are up for auction at eBay as part of the fundraiser for little Peyton Novoa. If you scroll down a bit you’ll see a big red banner ad that leads you to the ForPeyton website where…

Our closing is set for August 11th. It was originally September 25th. That means I’m probably going to be moving around August 1st. Wow, that’s coming up fast. Of course, if there isn’t a house to sell that point will be moot. This morning I woke up, read a bit, put the clean dishes away,…

Rather than write 1,000 words about how England is a rich, noble, and most fortunate nation despite it’s loss today, I’ll skip that and instead say this–how come they can’t find five guys at a time who can hit a penalty kick? OK, everyone on the pitch was exhausted. And by the end of extra-time…
