Fools rush in where angels fear to tread. Alexander Pope You know what’s funny? Our invasion of Iraq would have worked better in 1990, when the Bush who was then President, and the Cheney who was then Secretary of Defense, were afraid to do it.

So I know I’ve been promising pictures of Sabrina for a long time, and today I finally have some. The new WordPress software I’m running the site on has a plug-in that makes this really easy. So here you go. We had these taken about a week or so after Sabrina’s six-month birthday.

Losing at home, on national television, in a divisional game, in weather favorable to your team, with the division lead on the line, to your most hated rival (who are only 3-7) on a blocked field goal, by one point? It doesn’t get much uglier than that. Final score: Raiders 25, Broncos 24.

I saw this tidbit today, and all I could think was “Thank God!” Any Superman fan who saw Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle should be relieved. That was one of the few sequels I’ve ever seen that was so bad it made me regret seeing the first one. They’re apparently still having casting problems, too, after [...]

It seems clear to me that the President was willing to claim whatever was necessary to justify our invasion, willfully misinterpreting (or flat-out [...]

It has been an incredibly busy six months, and I haven’t posted a single item about us, the baby, or anything. The last few months of Jennie’s pregnancy were trying for her. She suffered from sciatica for a few weeks, which she managed to get through thanks to physical therapy. Luckily, nothing was wrong with [...]
