Now There Is a Comparison

Comparing Bush failures to Bode Miller’s disastrous turn at the 2006 Winter Games might be stretching it, but it sure is fun to read.

Ethics & Politics

Is it really a surprise the US Chamber of Commerce would endorse someone like Tom DeLay?  I doubt even a jail sentence would stop them from endorsing the man.

RIP Barney Fife

One of country’s comedic greats has passed away.   Don Knotts rarely got the credit he deserved for being a comedic genius.  I can remember coming home from school and sitting down with my brother to watch The Andy Griffith Show and always laughing at the antics of Deputy Barney Fife, for which he was five Best Supporting Actor Emmy a row — something I don’t think anyone else has done.  Later, he tickled the funny bone as Mr. Furley on Three’s Company. My favorite Don Knotts film was Disney’s The Apple Dumpling Gang.  He and Tim Conway had me laughing so hard I could barely breath.  They just don’t make comedians like Don Knotts anymore.
