Due to its resemblance to my previous post about getting international aid down to New Orleans, I’ve posted the link below to Neil Cavuto’s recent “Common Sense” commentary.
Neil Cavuto’s Common Sense: The Silence is Deafening

What a disaster those folks in New Orleans and the entire Gulf Region are going through. In order to bring back the region, those people are going to need a lot of prayer, a lot of rebuilding, and ultimately - a lot of money.
So I’m not going to give a perspective on the damage […]

My apologies to everyone for neglecting this blog for the last week and for missing the weekly Carnival of New Jersey Bloggers.
As a graduate student in pursuit of a Master’s Degree, I have a few major projects that I have to undertake before earning that piece of paper. Some of you may think of […]

As some of you may know, I’m writing a bit of the history of The Balrog’s Lair in honor of our tenth birthday coming up next April. With that being said, today I published the second column in this series. The column is linked below - I hope that you enjoy reading a […]

If you don’t already frequent FOXNews.com’s Mike Straka’s Strakalogue, then I suggest you start reading. Every few days to a week or so, Mike publishes something called his “Grrrr” column - basically a listing of things that piss him off.
I started reading this column about a year and a half ago - it’s great. […]

It’s almost that time…
There’s preseason NFL football on the tube, college students are packing up their cars and heading back to campus (and getting sick at the cost of their books), high school football teams and marching bands are at the school all day practicing for the coming seasons, and the stores are putting out […]

Living in beautiful Monmouth County, New Jersey I am beseiged by the wonders of summer for a few months out of each year. From the honking horns of the Brooklyn-ites to the arrogance of New Yorkers who somehow feel that the price tags in the store don’t apply to them (”What can I get […]

My experience at Verizon last night was on the edge of maddening. I’ve been having some problems with my LG VX8000 phone. The phone is a beast - in size and abilities. I have speakerphone, an MP3 player, V Cast, PIX & TXT Messaging, a 1.2 Megapixel camera, a video camera…it’s ridiculous.
So […]

* Boy who plays with himself pulls boner.
* Better to sleep with old hen than pullet.
* Man with athletic finger make broad […]

One of the most popular pages on this blog is the entry about when I was the victim of identity theft. Lots of comments on that entry and I believe that we’re now starting to see what each of us have in common that could have caused this charge to our accounts. Stupid […]

Just when it seems like I’m going to be swallowed alive by the fun little mix of my internship, my part-time hotel job, and my volunteer work there’s something else that pops up to smack me in the jaw!
I got a lovely little e-mail from Rutgers the other day informing me of two things. […]

You gotta love New Jersey…
I was driving down Norwood Avenue this morning headed from Deal to Asbury Park and I had the luxury of getting caught behind a little blue-haired old lady going at a mind-blowing 6MPH. That’s right, folks, I was whipping down Norwood Avenue at trailblazing speeds!
Why do old people drive so […]
