Going to California

Saturday, July 26th, 2008

This Tuesday I’m heading out to California for the first time ever. The core purpose of the visit is to attend Sigma Pi Fraternity’s 49th Biennial Convocation (our national convention). It’s exciting - I get to see my fraternal colleagues as well as help advocate on behalf of my New Jersey guys. […]

Ron Paul Plans Alternative Rally

Saturday, July 26th, 2008

Failed Presidential candidate Ron Paul has planned an alternative rally to the Republican National Convention. Paul’s rally, to be held at the Target Center in Minneapolis, is supposed to focus on his message of limited government (of which I am a fan).
It’s a shame that Congressman Paul’s campaign was neglected by the major networks. […]

Sirius and XM Approved to Merge

Saturday, July 26th, 2008

After what seems like an eternity, Sirius Satellite Radio and XM have been approved to merge by the Federal Communications Commission. This is at once both good and frightening news. Good news because there was no reason to stop these two companies from merging in the first place and - as a combined […]

The seventh season of UFC’s The Ultimate Fighter featured a lot of great fighters. However, there can only be one champion.

More on COAH’s Bungled Round Three

Monday, July 7th, 2008

About a month and a half ago the Atlanticville (a local Long Branch-area paper) ran an article about Eatontown’s decision to file a complaint against the state regarding the latest round of COAH regulations that were issued. This type of stuff makes me bang my head against the wall and wonder why any of […]

A Greener Restaurant Bringing in More Greenbacks

Monday, July 7th, 2008

Sometime in May I ran across this article which I thought would be interesting to share: Can restaurants go green, earn green? The article talks about the link between a sustainable food service industry and earning profits. It begins by talking about how Ted Turner is moving his Ted’s Montana Grill restaurants […]

Monday, July 7th, 2008

Lipstick and Dynamite: Piss and Vinegar is a 2005 documentary by Ruth Leitman that follows around some of the women wrestlers from the 1950’s - 1970’s. Thanks go out to my uncle for passing this DVD on to me over a year ago - I only recently had the chance to watch it […]

TV Review: Battlestar Galactica Miniseries

Monday, July 7th, 2008

Let me begin by saying that I watched the Battlestar Galactica miniseries about two months ago so my memory isn’t as sharp as it could be on this topic. I didn’t have strong feelings one way or another one the miniseries and I only watched it because for some odd reason it kept popping […]

Total Nonstop Action is Coming to New Jersey

Just About Done With Howard Stern

Monday, July 7th, 2008

Today begins the second straight week of vacation for Howard Stern and his Sirius Satellite Radio crew. I’m just about done with this guy and his completely ridiculous schedule. I’ve said on this blog before that Howard used to be the voice of the working man and now he works a 4-day per […]

Give the Iraqis What They Want

Monday, July 7th, 2008

President Bush will never be classified as someone who bows to foreign pressures, that’s for sure. The latest “wait a minute” moment from the man I voted for comes as Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki suggests a timetable for America to withdraw its troops. From the article:
Iraq has proposed a short-term memorandum of […]
