Getting Over Some Cluster Headaches

Friday, March 28th, 2008

Every nine to ten months I get hit with a few days of mild cluster headaches. I say mild because if you read the Wikipedia article that I linked, some people are hit with such intensely painful headaches that they need to go to the hospital and receive IV medication to calm the pain. […]

This Year’s Early Easter Sunday

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008

For my fellow Catholics out there, you may be wondering why Easter is so incredibly early this year. The folks over at FOXNews.com had a great article about this topic posted today. What it comes down to is…the moon!
Pretty weird, huh? From the article:
Easter always comes on the Sunday after the first, […]

Super Smash Brothers Brawl Sells 1.4 Million

Monday, March 17th, 2008

Thanks to my roommate (and new Wii owner) Dave for pointing out that Nintendo’s Super Smash Brothers Brawl recently topped the 1.4 million mark. That means that since March 9th this game has sold about 120 copies per minute. PER MINUTE! Actually, VGChartz.com reports that the game has sold almost 1.6 million […]

The Democrats Raised Your Taxes - Did You Know?

Saturday, March 15th, 2008

Did you know that the Democrats have already voted to increase your taxes three years from now? Okay, so they didn’t raise your taxes, per se, but they did endorse a plan that WILL raise your taxes in the coming years. I understand that taxes weren’t raised so much as the existing “Bush […]

Excessive Force = Excessive Payout

Friday, March 14th, 2008

Anyone who lives in New Jersey knows that there are two kinds of police officers. The first (and more prevalent) type of officer is the man or woman who is out to do some good for his or her community. These are the folks who always wanted to be police officers and who […]

New Jersey Screws Up Again: COAH

Thursday, March 13th, 2008

Just when you think that New Jersey can’t become a bigger disaster than it already is…surprise! The state has come in and screwed up once again. Only this time, not only does their mistake hit critically close to home, it actually contradicts previous decisions by state agencies and (most importantly) promises to destroy […]

Biggest Losers: Maggie & Brittany

Tuesday, March 11th, 2008

Ugh - I hate to put up a post that is a reaction to a television show, but after watching tonight’s The Biggest Loser I had to put something up. Maggie and Brittany are a bunch of crybabies and complainers. These stupid asses don’t realize that this show is a golden opportunity. […]

The Perfect GOP Vice-Presidential Candidate?

Wednesday, March 5th, 2008

Now that Senator John McCain is the definite Republican nominee for President, it is time for him to begin thinking in earnest about the perfect Vice-Presidential candidate. The latest name to circulate (aside from Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee) is Texas Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson. While I think that Hutchinson would be a […]

“Damn It, Woman - Get UP!”

Wednesday, March 5th, 2008

A few weeks ago I came across this story and I got a good laugh out of it. In short, this woman was passed out in a coma after giving childbirth and after a while they decided to pull the plug. A few days before they’re getting ready to pull the plug, her […]

The Elmo Dolls Wants To Kill You…

Tuesday, March 4th, 2008

Hopefully I’m not the only one who doesn’t understand the craze around Sesame Street’s Elmo character over the last couple of years. What’s the big deal?! It’s a furry little red thing. That’s it! With all of that said, I had to post this story…
It turns out that a freak oddity […]

Even The IRS Hates Paying Taxes

Tuesday, March 4th, 2008

Most people hate tax season…even those who work for the Internal Revenue Service. I saw a story the other day about an IRS agent from my hometown of Roxbury who was convicted on tax evasion charges. How about that, huh? Even the IRS hates paying taxes!
Just another example of how we are […]

Finally Some Oversight at NJHESAA

Tuesday, March 4th, 2008

Ever since I started paying back my student loans some 20 months ago, I’ve been complaining about how inept and downright rude the people at the New Jersey Higher Education Student Assistance Authority are on the telephone. Not only do they treat you like you are trying to get away with something, but they […]
