Helping You Get the Most Out of Your Misery. Tuesday, November 30, 2004. The Passion of the Ken. Iâ m sorry. Iâ m having a tough time writing right now. Iâ I canâ t seem to make heads or tails of the world at the moment. I feel like Iâ ve had the rug pulled out from under me. Ken Jennings lost on. He lost. I donâ t know if I can go on with life. I watched the whole thing. I watched as he missed two Double Jeopardy questions. Now, I wouldnâ t have known the answers, but Ken? He seemed to know everything&#...

Helping You Get the Most Out of Your Misery. Sunday, October 31, 2004. I'm going nuts here. I really am. I just wrote this long, unfunny shpiel about the loss of civility between Republicans and Democrats this election that was as sad and humorless as Carrot Top. Here's why:. I went to Democratic Headquarters on 44th today to buy a new anti-Bush button. I chose the simple design with "Bush" in a circle with a line through it. Fairly straightforward, right? Want Bush to win. It puts me on? Okay, well, I g...

Helping You Get the Most Out of Your Misery. Wednesday, September 29, 2004. We join the presidential debate already in progress.). Moderator: Mr. President, many people have criticized your administration for the unilateral approach you took toward the war in Iraq. If you had it to do over again, would you heed the advice of the world community and give the U.N. weapons inspectors more time to find evidence of weapons of mass destruction? Well how many cans of Pabst can you do outta one beer bong? Modera...

Helping You Get the Most Out of Your Misery. Sunday, October 05, 2014. I Sense Some Disturbing Shit in the Force. I keep a blog for my science classes. Someplace for families to go to look for information on what we're doing in class; resources to help them study; shout-outs to students who excel. That kind of stuff. To make sure that families weren't going to last year's website by mistake, I decided this morning to put one last post on the old blogs with links to the new ones. Let me try to get my head...

Helping You Get the Most Out of Your Misery. Friday, December 16, 2011. Why I Will Miss Christopher Hitchens. There are things in life over which we have absolutely no control. Strike that. Let me say, instead: over the vast majority of things in our lives, we have absolutely no control. We cannot control the actions of our friends and family. We cannot control disease. We cannot control how others perceive us, as much as Scientology wants us to think we can. Interesting tidbit: I could not for the life ...

Helping You Get the Most Out of Your Misery. Saturday, June 02, 2012. When I think of passing out, the image in my mind tends to be of women in 1930s comedies, falling into Harpo Marxâ s arms or maybe flopping onto a fainting couch, the very name of which implies a gentle end to losing consciousness. If you stop and really consider it, though, it doesnâ t come across as something akin to diving into a pool of velvet. I mean, one second, youâ re standing upright. Head as high as it will go. As I waited fo...

Helping You Get the Most Out of Your Misery. Tuesday, February 03, 2015. Mockingbird II: The Quickening. Harper Lee is publishing a follow-up to To Kill a Mockingbird. Which is not exactly a follow-up, as it was written prior to that book.) Everyone in the universe is super-excited. With good reason! 88 years old and Lee has never before risked a sophomore effort. You have to imagine she wouldn't have decided to put this out there unless it was really good. To Kill Another Mockingbird. To Kill a Pelican.

Helping You Get the Most Out of Your Misery. Monday, August 11, 2014. At thirteen, I was fat. I was awkward. I didn't feel like I fit in with most everybody else at my middle school in rural Northeast Ohio. We'd just moved from the school district where I'd gone to elementary school to a smaller district. My classmates had been together (mostly) for six years. I was the new kid. The fat, anxious, awkward new kid. I got depressed from time to time. To his own starring vehicle, Mork and Mindy. Was one of t...
