Election Night Ills
Here’s what I came home to on Tuesday evening, before the votes were official but when any person or dog with a functioning brain knew what was coming:
That’s diarrhea on the left, vomit in the middle and a shirt on the right. A shirt, you ask? Well, under the shirt was a much bigger (and thankfully much more solid) pile of poo. My wonderful dog knew he was not supposed to crap in the house and he took a shirt from the floor of a different room and tried to cover it up.
A bowl of pasta that night for dinner and Fred’s stomach ailments were as much a part of the past as President Obama’s hopes of doing anything substantive over the next two years.

Russ Feingold Just Lost My Vote
I’m kind of a fickle political creature. On most issues, I fall in the camp of what most call progressive. And generally, I’m a big fan of Russ Feingold.
But ever since college, I’ve had repeated problems with the absence of critical thought and occasional outright stupidity of my political teammates.
And now Russ Feingold has achieved a level of stupidity that has lit my admittedly short fuse when it comes to this kind of stuff.
Here’s the thing: the influence of lobbyists in Washington is about as bad as creative end zone celebrations are awesome.
The silver lining? The same jackasses who are sucking the fun out of the NFL and have it on a direct path to a significant labor shortage next year are now forcing Feingold to cease unauthorized use of their product.
