Or so goes the saying in Hollywood when they’re trying to justify their latest tricks. But a recent study shows that sex really doesn’t help box office receipts. What I find even more interesting is how do teens rebel against parents of the “sex, drugs, rock’n’roll” generation? By abstaining, staying married and saying no to […]

Recall my recent comments on our dependency on technology? Well, here’s another example.. a couple gets stranded 3 days after GPS takes them down a seasonal road. In the wrong season, naturally….

Over the last few weeks we’ve noticed the girls getting all worked up and barking at something several times an evening. But there’s nothing going on…. I think I may finally have figured it out though, thanks to the game of musical rawhides currently underway in our living room….
Sophie is barking at the front door, […]

You can read the whole medical jargony thing if you like - but know the headline pretty well says it all….

There is nothing like 3 dogs and 3 different rawhides to make an evening of fine entertainment. It’s barely 7pm and already they’ve each “stolen” one from another on no less than 3 occasions. Each.
I’ve also discovered there is a rawhide my girls can’t shred in 15 minutes flat… never thought I’d […]

With 2010 almost here you’re going to be bombarded with reviews of 2009 from every news, talk, entertainment and variety show being produced so why not head them all off and get the straight scoop from Dave Barry’s year in review.

Look who showed back up… Scout’s recent adoptive family returned him to us on Sunday morning. I won’t go into why they brought him back other than to say they let him think he was pack leader and acted as such…
Not that I wanted him back, I was getting used to only 2 dogs! […]

I can’t begin to recall the number of hours I spent in the dungeons of Zork…

Winter is officially a couple days away yet and already I’m getting nostalgic… about November.
Though Winter has its sunsets

and other pleasantries

It’s still winter

I’d rather have more of this

And maybe a little more of this, too…

It’s going to be a long winter…

Little Miss Sophie Hogatha, at 8-ish months, is tipping the scales at 61 pounds.

She likes her Christmas presents. She likes Ginger’s presents, too.

The night she got them she played until she went to sleep with her head on one.

I like keeping her teeth busy

And the girl has some teeth!

Ginger is not impressed - […]

James Cameron’s long awaited movie Avatar opened today and as a huge fan of the sci-fi genre we made it a point to hit the last matinee.
It has been said that Cameron’s big challenge with this film will be getting movie goers to sympathize with blue aliens. Much more difficult, at least for […]

From the Daily Express, Climate change is natural: 100 reasons why…

I’m not a big Conan fan - not that I don’t like him but if I want to watch potty humor TV I can tune into a Simpsons or Family Guy episode. But he did good, in my view, with this gig:

I’m not so sure Shatner was as amused (he’s not exactly known for being […]

Someone has to ask - if government employees at the post office are so overworked they’re hiding it rather than delivering it… what does this mean for government health care?

I have always felt history would not judge George W. Bush so harshly as the main stream media and political opponents. So I am far from surprised that Bush is closing the gap not even a year into the Obama Presidency.
The numbers are close enough for liberals to start feeling the pressure and they’re only […]

I saw this commercial the other evening during prime time and couldn’t believe it…. I told myself I must have not heard correctly… guess I did.

John Hostettler is one of my favorite politicians and I was highly disappointed at the utter lack of support by the national party in 2008 when he lost to Brad Ellsworth.
Now Hostettler has announced his run for the Senate against Evan Bayh who I like only a little better than Dick Lugar (At […]

For those who recall Obama saying he’d bankrupt coal you’ll be glad to know he’s a he’s on it.

One would think that an energy drink named for a man who could keep up with NINE TEN women would get more respect… I guess it would depend on whether Tiger drinking Gatorade gave him the stamina… but my bet is he was drinking his own cool-aide….

Speaking of global warming’s “hide the decline”…. Obama Approval Slips to 47%. And now that the EPA has declared CO2 a “pollutant”, which has the potential of reaching all the way down the an individual right to BREATH we’re bound to see more turmoil and unrest before Barry leaves office in 2012.

I considered starting Bikers for Global Warming over our summer that wasn’t but it is the Minnesotans for Global Warming who are making an impact. Here is another of their videos…

Love their name -
