It’s pretty screwed up that we don’t have good medical records for either of the presidential candidates. Especially since one of them is ancient and has repeated bouts with cancer.

I love sports video games. I’ve got no trouble admitting it.
I don’t doubt that I’ve spent more time playing sports video games than watching the Real Deal on TV (Although as I’m getting older and lazier, that’s probably going change). After more than eight years of playing the NBA 2K series, I often [...]

My theory on why the U.S. won’t boycott the Olympics: You don’t piss of your banker.
As I wrote in a previous post about U.S. debt to China, it’s not unreasonable to think we owe the Chinese about $1.5 trillion. I wrote then that “As our biggest investors, we will have to afford the Chinese government [...]
The following teams are dead to me:
Notre Dame
Clemson
Vanderbilt
USC
Georgetown
Drake
Connecticut
Arizona
Duke (This goes double for you guys. Boo! Hiss!)
Just for clarification: I wanted all of these teams to lose, just not so early.
