Bush’s Two Minute State of The Union
From the horses ass (or mouth, whatever), we get the whole truth. In these times of struggle and turmoil, in an election year when all is clouded in distrust and double-talk, we finally get a glimpse of some honesty from the White House. I have to admit, I am glad to see this administration breaking […]

Sarah Palin – I’m so Pretty
Natalie Wood perfectly captured the essence of Governor Sarah Palin in the 1961 musical West Side Story. As we learn more about the Alaskan Governor through media interviews and scandal investigations – we realize the shallowness of this person, Sarah Palin.

McCain, Palin is Great Because I was a POW
John McCain had a news flash for Americans in the town hall debate the other day. McCain was clever in demonstrating his comprehension of American politics. Some of his jargon is difficult to follow – probably because his language was affected while serving as a POW. Highlights from McCain’s debate answers: The moderator is a […]

Rovians From The Planet Bushanus
They are finally being arrested, secured, immobilized. They come from the planet Bushanus and are called Rovians. Rovians live in the bowels of humanity, infecting civilized people with flu like symptoms. We wander through the news cycle, feeling nauseated, faint-hearted, and dismayed. Some suffer lethal effects, others are carriers. They came to this planet about […]

Subliminal Bush
In a previous post here on The Fireside, we mentioned the press conference with the President where he discussed WWIII in the context of Iran. I thought it might be beneficial to see the clip for ourselves: [wp_youtube]94LtRZ3urWY&feature=related[/wp_youtube] “I take the threat of Iran with a nuclear weapon very seriously.” I guess that would account […]

The War Prayer, by Mark Twain
Mark Twain says it best. Once again it took an artist to capture the staggering essence of events that many Americans have become immune to. This particular writing is in response to the Spanish-American war with the Philippines in 1898. Mark Twain became an anti-imperialist. Born Samuel Clemens in Hannibal, Missouri, he was an honest […]

Who’s On First, Abbott and Costello video
Talking movies have been around for less than 100 years. The pioneers of comedy set the stage, if you will, for generations to follow. Abbott and Costello perfected the art of a straight man with a buffoonish clown. Their act “Who’s On First” is a classic that never wears out. Bud Abbott and Lou Costello […]

Timing is everything in blogging. Well, not everything. Content is a key element, but secondary to timing. It is important, though… content… but you have to wait for the right content to come along, or it just isn’t worth the effort. I never post anything early in the morning. It comes off as too zealous.

On My Tombstone – “He Tried.”
Son, OK. Let’s assume for a moment there is a God and there is an afterlife. I have been searching since before you were born for some safe and sane ideology; trying to know the unknowable. Now I am an aging man. I have learned that I don’t know very much. My expectation for myself […]
