Walking In Faith: Wolves In Sheeps Clothing

...our Media is controlled by the Council on Foreign Relations, how can anyone get real news? Now that our televisions have gone digital and can be interupted and controlled via satellite it could be snowing in Texas and 106 degrees in Detroit. Hell, the govermentcould declare Martial Law in Miami. How would you really know? Just like know one quiet knows why hundreds of thousand of coffins are being shipped to Alaska as we speak. How many of our soldiers are falling and we are not being told? Does anyone know.

Personally, I think Benjamin Franklin was a genius. He understood... (more)

Despite Financial Crisis, Campaign Business Is Booming

...crisis in generations.”

Just two days earlier, Obama raised an estimated 9 million dollars during a Beverly Hills fundraiser, with each contributor paying 28,500 for admission to the event.

Yes Virginia, there is a financial crisis; unless, of course, you work in the campaign industry.

CSI To Gain New Role/actor

...into that good night (say after season 15 because my acting has not only garnered me at least five Emmy nominations, and one actual Emmy and also shot the program back into the top 10 making CBS Thursday night unbeatable as in the days of M*A*S*H and All in the Family) then I can move down to Miami (CSI:Miami that is), revive that show giving CBS another Kick ass Monday night schedule and then finally, after receiving three more Emmy nominations and another Emmy for Adam J. Burke I can move north to (CSI:)New York and finish off there with three more nominations and another statue while... (more)

Miami Is All The Rage!

The study that AutoVantage does about road rage every year came out recently and Miami won again. My question is—how the !@^$#& did San Francisco fail to make this list?

With Barry Bonds as our hometown hero (and as the home of BALCO), we’re obviously the Capitol of ‘Roid Rage in this country, if not the world. But, with all the accidents, pedestrian fatalities and physical assaults on drivers, how is it that we never seem to be able to make this list? Quite frankly, it’s an insult to the motorists of San Francisco.

We’re just going to have... (more)

My 2008 National League Picks: The Mets: As Good As It Gets!

...some good players and try to build another contending team. With an influx of cash (which a new ball park should bring) there’s no excuse for this team to trade away top players once they become too expensive. But, for now, the Florida Marlins (who will be changing their name to the Miami Marlins when their new park opens) are pretty atrocious. Dan Uggla, Jeremy Hermedia and Josh Willingham have proven they can hit. Cameron Maybin is a promising kid with many skills. The pitching staff is full of unknowns-NL teams will regularly feast on these arms-and the Marlins will hook... (more)
