  • Favre Talk: Just Ignore It

    I\’ve done my best over the past few weeks to ignore all the \”Favre un-retiring and going to the Vikings\” speculation. It is getting more difficult to do as the media is in full frenzy mode with the report that Coach Brad Childress was on his way to Memphis (where I would think he would…

  • Minnesota Twins All-Metrodome Team

    There are only 67 Minnesota Twins baseball games left to be played in the Metrodome… well, barring the post-season, which the Twins may have trouble reaching this year if their offense doesn’t pick it up a little… but I digress.

  • Financial Crisis or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bailout

    When I first heard the term “Bailout” in 2008, I (and millions of Americans) thought to myself: “why should *my* tax dollars be given to these irresponsible and idiotic companies?”

  • Today *Was* The Day

    As you may or may not be aware… quite honestly if you have a) access to a computer and 2) have the ability to use said computer you are probably intelligent enough to have 1) non-antenna access to television or b) are well aware that there is an impending change coming to the airwaves.
