These guys are my kind of smart alecs!  It seems three unidentified people showed up to Singapore’s Supreme Court wearing t-shirts that had a kangaroo in judge’s robes on the front. Of course, since this was Singapore, they are being arrested for contempt.  Check Singapore off my list of places to visit.
I’ve also crossed off South Africa. It seems they are suffering from an invasion of deadly rabbits. If it’s anything like the rabbits in the video below, I don’t want any part of it.

How many of you who read this blog regularly and/or have read my books would like to see me quit my day job and do this full time?
Carry on, (and please comment) Citizens!

Tomorrow will be a first for me: I’m going to jury duty.  I’m not sure how I’ve avoided it all these years. It’s not like I was called and made an excuse to get out of it. No, I’ve simply never been called until now. I really don’t know what to expect.  What if I get on a high profile case?  What if I’m sequestered?  Who will feed my turtles?
I’m hoping for an interesting case, but nothing violent like a murder case. I want one of those goofball cases like the …

The Red Sox just beat the Angels. So, my World Series prediction back in July of a Brewers/Angels matchup is officially dead. And even worse, I can’t stomach the thought of the Red Sox in the Series again. Oh well, it’s almost college basketball season.  IU will be bad.  But, at least they will be clean.
Carry on, Citizens!

Is it just me or has the world been pretty much a desolate place since Adam Ant was on MTV. Come to think of it, when any music video was on MTV. Whatever your political leanings, one thing is for certain: MTV went to hell during the Clinton administration. I’m not saying it’s Bill’s fault. I just think he was too distracted to realize that our national institution was sliding down a slippery slope to pseudo-reality show oblivion.
As I’m writing this, there are NO videos airing in any time slots …

Dallas Maverick forward Josh Howard dissed the National Anthem over the weekend, saying he didn’t celebrate it because he’s black. Ever the PR nightmare for the Mav’s, the people that surround him are trying desperately to spin this some positive way.  In the past year, he’s been arrested for speeding, told a radio show he smokes pot, and threw himself a birthday party the night before a playoff game.

Today’s post is a commercial, but I think it’s a worthy one. Please remember the people in Texas as they rebuild and sort out the mess caused by Hurricane Ike. If you can give, please consider the Salvation Army’s disaster response. When you designate your support for disaster, 100% of the money goes to helping flood victims. Learn more about what the Salvation Army is doing to help flood victims here.

As we mentioned a few days ago, we have a huge announcement that will forever change the scene of American politics. A group of Citizens (regular subscribers to COC are called Citizens) have decided they are tired of the Republican and Democratic parties. They’re tired of the same old same old. Tired of “change” candidates who never change anything.
They have decided they no longer want a President. Or a Congress. They want an Emperor. And, they have asked me to be their candidate. After much deliberation, I have decided to …

…without Giving.
2 people reminded me of that today. One is a close friend and the other will be buried in Arlington National Cemetery. In memory of Captain William Powell, who served his country and our community with honor and humility, I’ll let the BoDeans do the talking tonight.

Carry on, Citizens!

I thought the creepiest story of the day would be Michael Jackson’s 50th birthday. I was wrong. It seems there is a new contender. And, it involves humans being converted to diamonds.
Now, I saw the movie Soylent Green years ago (Charleton Heston overacting in the 70′s –good stuff). It’s loosely based on the 1966 novel Make Room! Make Room! by Harry Harrison. The movie is set in some depressing future where resources are depleted and people survive on rationed processed food chips or wafers. These include Soylent Red, Soylent Yellow, …
