A Rubber Door

I’ve kind of avoided the subject of Don Imus, because this whole thing is getting old.  Michael Richards, Mel Gibson, Ann Coulter, Isaiah Washington, Tim Hardaway - it’s numbing how much intolerance there is.  My friend Grace asked me what comments I found more disturbing: Rush Limbaugh’s comments on Donovan Mcnabb or Don Imus’ comments [...]

Apparently Circuit City isn’t doing well. And to fix things they’ve decided to lay off 3,400 “high paid” clerks. High paid means anywhere from $8-15.  Once they’re laid off, they will be replaced with lower paid clerks. Brilliant.

My friend Grace and I were talking about one my favorite novels Douglas Coupland’s All Families are Psychotic. It is a very frenetic black comedy that includes among other things - an astronaut love triangle, gun play, kidnapping, all in the state of Florida. One of the things that’s great about this [...]

Never mind that the salary cap has ruined the league. Never mind that the “I” mindset of the current players makes the game basically unwatchable. Today the last vestige of anything resembling a competitive sports league was removed by David Stern.
