Now that politics has become America's actual favorite pastime, there have got to be a lot of nervous sports writers out there. Because if this general election is shaping up to be as boring as it appears to be, it's going to be a struggle to produce all season...

This Day and Age

(1) Comments | Posted March 21, 2012 | 5:28 PM

I sometimes feel like I'm at the age of age. Where its become almost an obsession. Where I'll go to a Wikipedia page solely to check when someone accomplished something. And if they were two years older than me I'm like, oh thank God, I could still do that. All...

The Real Victims in the Contraception Controversy: Men

(17) Comments | Posted March 6, 2012 | 11:57 AM

It is almost impossible to conceive that there is currently a "contraception controversy" raging in this country. Even the very term seems like a contradiction. For if one is using contraception, than there's usually no controversy. And if one isn't, than you're probably not that controversial. But I think...

A Modern Writer's Existential Crisis: And Other Jokes

(4) Comments | Posted February 23, 2012 | 4:06 PM

In this messy, mammoth, modern, multi-dimensional media environment it can sometimes leave a writer wondering: who am I?

I could be a blogger. Dropping disposable bits of my life on to the Internet. A diary of life's diarrhea. A living diorama. A list of everywhere I've dined. I could...

Now that we're in the thick of this thickening display of Republican nominating politics, we would think that we have a pretty good idea of who all these candidates actually are. But, if we're still a little unsure, if we want to scratch below the surface, if we really want...

GOP: Do the Right Thing and Forfeit

(33) Comments | Posted January 10, 2012 | 4:04 PM

If the New Hampshire primary can't result in anything more than another slow news week, and come on it has, than what does it say about the rest of this seemingly never-ending campaign to find an inadequate candidate for the Republican nomination for president? Besides that it's slow, boring,...

Searching for Approval

(62) Comments | Posted December 26, 2011 | 12:28 PM

According to Gallup's most recent poll, Congress's current approval rating of 11 percent is the lowest in the history of Gallup measuring the current approval rating of Congress. And while it could be a ton of fun to mock our chosen leaders and their never ending game of gridlock, I...

(5) Comments | Posted December 6, 2011 | 2:15 PM

Oh man, the Dow Jones is up 45 points right now! 45 points! I can only hope it still is when you read this, because you have no idea how great it feels. And even if it's not I'm telling you at some point it was. How awesome is that?...
