Canadian Quarters

Canadian Quarters

No offense to my Canadian readers, but I hate your quarters. The 24-hour corner store thought they were slick the other night and gave me one with my change. I didn’t even notice until I got home. I looked at the coins in my pocket and said “George Washington is looking kinda feminine on this [...]

Stop Trying To Look Sinister

John Boehner is taking this “leader” shtick a bit too far, judging by the photo above.

US Debt Ceiling Talk

I have purposely been avoiding talking about the U.S. debt crisis saga over here. I’m no economist; I’m a humorist. If you want random observations, I’m your guy.

If you are a literate ex-convict stealing someone else’s wifi access, or you’re using the free hookup at the public library, please take note.

My Retirement From Blogging

God blessed me with this awesome physique and ruggedly handsome features, so why waste my time thinking, and writing and doing smart shit, when [...]

F*ck You, Pay Me!

When I heard that NBA legend Dominique Wilkins was attacked after broadcasting a Hawks game, I was shocked. Who in the Hell would want to hit ‘Nique? Everyone I know who has met him said that he’s a laid back and friendly fellow. It wasn’t until after I learned the details behind the attack that [...]
