Chicken?

John Dowlin, according to the Enquirer, is refusing to debate Pat DeWine before the March GOP primary. Dowlin is trying to play down the importance of those supporting DeWine:

"I think we're not going to do that," Dowlin said. "It seems like an awful lot of time and effort for a small group of people."

So a few hours in a meeting hall will take you away from what, meeting for a few hours in a different meeting hall? The only difference between the two would be that the stage would not be so crowded?

Jay "Unabomber Jr." Love

I missed this today (had other things on my mind). I really don't see how or why Jay Love would read from the Una-bomber's manifesto. Ethan Hahn's comments focus on how the media reports on things they know nothing about, and it shows to us that are not quite as ignorant as Joe six-pack. Ethan use Rush Limbaugh as an example. Coincidence that today is Rush's birthday as well as mine. Hmmm????

Priceless Talking Points Memo Post

Number of days between Novak column outing Valerie Plame and announcement of investigation: 74 days.

Number of days between O'Neill 60 Minutes interview and announcement of investigation: 1 day.

Having the administration reveal itself as a gaggle of hypocritcal goons ... priceless.

Counterspin on Boondocks

Hesiod reports that only 300 people complained about the Enquirer canceling the Boondocks cartoon strip. He is calling for people to write in to the paper and try and have it re-instated.

Down Goes Frasier!

I just couldn't resist.

Something to get my mind of my troubles

Life Can Sometimes Really Suck

Well, I was having an OK, nothing grand mind you, birthday when our entire department was called into a meeting this morning. To make a long story short, we all got laid off. Needless to say that made for one really shitty birthday present. We have four more weeks and that is it.

Wow, we are in such a great economy now, aren’t we??????

I will be getting a severance package, but I also do have two internal job leads, which are not bad and will likely at least pay about the same as I am getting now. If I am lucky one of them might actually be an increase in salary.

If anyone knows of any job openings where a guy with a Finance/business background who can do wonders with Microsoft Access databases could be of use, please drop me a line.

I am going to have a beer now.
