I recently wrote an entry titled “Nobody Surprised That Obama Gets Nomination” and without doubt, Obama getting the Democratic nomination was so anti-climactic it wasn’t funny.

So now it’s official and Barack Obama has now been “officially” nominated to be the Democratic candidate for president. Honestly, I can’t help wondering why they even bothered to hold a convention. I mean really, I am not a hamster, you just can’t tell me that once Clinton finally conceded and the primaries ended there was any doubt that Obama would get the nomination.

How shall I describe yesterday? I like to keep this blog family friendly so I’m sure that most readers will understand my meaning when I just call it a “Rolling and Screaming Charlie-Foxtrot”.

I was watching some of the Olympic coverage tonight and caught the part where they were talking about the age requirements for competitors was that they had to be 16 years old for the calendar year of the Olympics. The question was raised because of some of the Chinese “womens” gymnastics team that looked [...]

In my previous post I talked a bit about the ‘fun’ time we had in the hospital recently.

Regular readers will note that there’s a gap of several days from the end of last week to the beginning of this week where there was no posting. Just this last weekend my wife had to be hospitalized because of a Brown Recluse Spider bite. Naturally, since I am not a hamster, I went along with her both to keep her company and help out in whatever way I could.
