Elvis has left the building. Don’t let the door hit your bubble butt on the way out!
Finally, Elvis Stojko has vowed to leave poor figure skating alone!
In an ill-written rambling mess of a blog, the two time Olympic medalist slammed the sport that made him famous, claiming it now makes him sick.
Spewing cyber-hate like a poorly-washed, dateless shut-in, the former World Champion skater flamed his fellow athletes and the sport itself, [...]
Olympics: When Athletes wrangle their way to Citizenship
Higher, Faster, Stronger. We all watch as the flags raise and national anthems play during the medal ceremonies, but why? Why bother when, more and more, the athletes standing atop the podiums have nothing to do with the countries for whom they’ve won the coveted medals.
This week, Mr and Mrs Reed of New Jersey will [...]
US West to US East: We hate you, just cause we do.
Who wouldn’t want beautiful picturesque landscapes preserved and saved from greed based over-development? No one.
Yet the population of the western part of the US is opposed to these designations, well, just because they are. Apparently, they don’t want them just because the idea came from the East.
Kinda hard to argue with someone who’s got no [...]
“You Suck”: The Diary of a Mad Lactation Consultant
For many new mothers, the dream of childbirth and bonding thru breast feeding soon turns to nightmare as instincts fail and doubt sets in.
Enter Freda Rosenfeld, a New York City based lactation consultant.
It’s all suppose to be such a fairy tale, that’s it’s no wonder than many women quit in frustration when it all just [...]
Catching up with those oldies but goodies
Ever since I was a kid, staying up late with my siblings to watch late night movies hosted by Frank Avruch, I’ve had a soft spot for classic films.
Well, this month, almost like a cram session before final exams, Turner Classic Movies has featured 31 Days of Oscar.
It’s a sort of “amnesty week” chance to [...]
The “New Poor”: like Ann Coulter, Karma’s a bitch!
Less than 6 years after the majority of Americans voted Bush into a 2nd term, those same middle class people will soon be poor for the first time in their lives.
America spoke: we wanted fewer government sponsored programs, and now that the economy is ruined, we’re the ones that have no government sponsored programs to [...]
Russia is dead, long live Frank Carroll!
What an exciting night for Olympic figure skating!
Evan Lysacek beats all of the superstitious curses to become the first man to win the Olympics as reigning world champion, and the first US man to win in 22 years, the first non-soviet man to win in 22 years and the first man to beat the “unbeatable” [...]
Euthanasia: Would you, could you, do it?
If a loved one, a husband, wife, partner, or child, was gravely ill and in pain, would you help them slip gently into that good night?
The debate over euthanasia was stirred up further when a well know documentary maker in the UK admitted to the act on national TV.
A crime in Britain, as well as [...]
You can’t use the Olympics to escape reality.
Like so many today, if you thought you could use the Olympics as a means to forget about your daily problems, lay offs, foreclosures, etc… you may be in for a rude awakening.
One of the Whistler resorts hosting the skiing events, may be foreclosed on right smack in the middle of the Olympics.
Yikes! Talk about [...]
Sarah and Elisa must die!
I apparently have two nemesi, evil foes who are out to ruin me.
Yes, they are fictitious. Two computer generated players, compliments of the good geeks at Wii.
It started out innocently enough, as these things are want to do. Van and I would enjoy a nice game of tennis. So happy, so couplely. But then [...]
