Sad commentary on our society that Women's Professional Soccer must forgo their 2012 season due to a legal battle and funding issues, yet the Lingerie Football League prospers with 12 teams and plans for at least 10 more next year.

Took down the Christmas lights today.  Went faster than expected, however, everything is still sitting in bags and boxes on the front porch.  There's always tomorrow. Today is the first day of 2012.  I decided that I won't make a big deal of it.  After all, how much different is today than yesterday?  Nothing changed significantly from one day to the next.  The Earth continued to spin in its

Put the Christmas lights up last weekend and lo and behold, it seems many of the houses around me have doubled the number of lights they've put up this year. So I was out on the roof again today, putting up  just a few more strings of lights.  I will not be outdone!

OK, so I haven't posted anything in a while.  One of the more recent posts was at the start of the MLS season.  The season is now over. I'm still getting tons of hits though.  Oddly enough, they are coming from Google searches for "nude amazon."  I guess Google is sending these people looking for naked Amazonian women to my blog thanks to Firefighter's discussion about the nude photography book

Tonight at 9:30 the MLS kicks off their season with a match between LA and Seattle.  If you want to pledge to watch AND get a free t-shirt, click here. As luck would have it, I was thinking of writing a post about soccer anyway.  My question is why it not more popular in the U.S? It has gained in popularity since last year's World Cup and the US team's performance there.  But can soccer

How the times have changed, I use to think boys and girls couldn't just hang out together without there being trouble. I guess I am wrong, my daughter informed me today that she wants to hang out with Mr X. Mr X is in a long term relationship and is to be married when he graduates high school. Now Mr X wants her to come over and hang out with him because he is on house arrest(nice). So where is

What has the world become? The M3 blog is like dead in the water, no news no funny stories. Will M3 ever return with his wisdom of politics, God and Beer? I have tried to keep this blog alive but my life is way too mundane. So back to eating my BLT Pizza I go, waiting for the return of the witty M3!

Recent tragic events have awakened me from my blog slumber like a mama grizzly... er, never mind.  So some "unstable" gentleman tried to kill Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and ended up critically wounding her and killing a half-dozen others. Coincidentally, Giffords name was placed on a political "hit list" drafted by Sarah Palin sometime early last year.  At the time, people criticized Palin,

I purchased a copy of Nude and Beauty Photography off Amazon.com, I am ready to take a stab at Nude Photography and fine art. It seems I am short of models, this could be a problem..I have thought of placing an add on Craig's list for models but my wife has a problem with that. So ends my career in nude photography. I guess I could take up candle making.......I'll be back..

I heard on the radio today that a local woman was arrested for assault while clothed in nothing but a wedding skirt and veil.  Presumably she was missing the top half of the dress the way it was worded.  Apparently she was all jacked up on marijuana with cold medicine, went to some guy's house dressed in the partial gown and assaulted him.  She was hallucinating and thought that she was supposed

Isn't it odd how somethings can change over night? One minute you are happy as a bug in the rug the next your whole world falls apart. Sometimes all it takes is slight clue that one thing is out of balance then BAM, your world just grinds to a stop.I have to admit I shouldn't be surprised by a shift in my life, everything thus far has been an epic fail. From day one it seems like I God hates me.

One of my favorite topics popped up in the news the other day... aliens! It seems a group of Air Force veterans held a press conference in DC the other day to discuss how they believe aliens from another planet visited Earth and somehow interfered with our nuclear weapons. In the realm of possibility, where does this fall?  Sounds perfectly reasonable to me.  Some people might argue that aliens

Seeing my fellow blogger's post trashing positive attitude reminded me of an article I read the other day about luck. I would say that I'm a pretty lucky bastard.  I would also guess that my partner here on the blog often sees himself as unlucky.  Here's why... A research study was completed on why lucky people are lucky and unlucky people, well, unlucky.  It seems it has a lot to do with life

I am so sick of hearing people say "Life is what you make it."  The other day while sitting at the fire house, one of the guys blurted out that dreadful saying. Afterwards we shared words about it and as time passed, I thought I might be being too negative.  But because my buddy M3 introduced me to fact finding, I had to find the source of this stupid depressing and demoralizing saying.

I've just returned from another epic journey by bicycle.  Three hundred plus miles from Cumberland, MD to Richmond, VA.  Here is a brief account of the trip. Every summer I drive down to the Outer Banks in North Carolina to spend a week with the in-laws.  We always stop half way in Richmond to stay with my wife's parents, spend the night, then continue the journey the next day.  Two years ago, I

It's sad how right-wing extremists have to manipulate history, taking advantage of people who don't know any better, to further their agendas. David W. Hedrick, a candidate for Congress from Washington State, has a YouTube video circulating Facebook of a guy singing the fourth stanza of the Star Spangled Banner which includes the line "And this be our motto: In God is our trust."  (Below.)

Neat story on the Huff Post about Christians failing to be Christians.  It reminds me of my favorite Gandhi quote that I think I've posted here a couple of times; "I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ." The story lists 10 ways Christians are not real Christians.  Number one on the list is that Christians can't (or shouldn't be) rich.  The

I took one of the ubiquitous Facebook quizes the other day about where I fall on the political spectrum.  I've decided to copy the questions here and perhaps have a detailed discussion about each question in days to come. There are a lot of questions so I'll have to do a few at a time, hopefully those that are related.  Any other of our blog contributors, feel free to jump in and grab one or two

Neat find of the day...  scrolling through Facebook and found something called the "Coffee Party Movement." It seems that it is a counter to the Tea Party Patriots.  The Coffee Party asks Americans to wake up and stand up.  They say that the government is "not the enemy of the people, but the expression of our collective will, and that we must participate in the democratic process in order to

It turns out even a staunch Republican thinks the health care system in the US sucks and has traveled to Canada for treatment in a socialist system. Sarah Palin admitted that she has traveled to Canada to take advantage of their socialized medicine. I guess socialism ain't all that bad when it comes to taking care of yourself.

Would you believe that one of the most credible people claiming that global warming is a hoax has been taking money from big companies responsible for pumping CO2 into the air? Now why would companies who make money off of pumping CO2 into the air want you to believe that CO2 is good for you and global warming is a hoax? Check out this article for more.

I'm buried up to my waist in snow right now, socked in by the big snowstorms that recently hit the East Coast.  So what happened to this global warming thing? Turns out, these record-breaking snowstorms are a symptom of global warming.  It seems that hotter air from the south can hold more moisture and once that rolls up the East Coast, it gets dumped in massive amounts of snow. I live along

I got some money for my birthday a couple of weeks ago so I decided to purchase a new set of panniers for the upcoming touring season. The choice of pannier was difficult to say the least.  I only had about $100 to work with so that knocked out the high-end panniers like Ortlieb and Arkel.  So I decided on Axiom panniers which are inexpensive and always seem to get good reviews. But which model

Former Vice-Presidential candidate Sarah Palin appears to have been caught "red-handed" with notes on her hand.  I guess the notes were talking points or key things she wanted to hit on during the interview. Here she is below.  You can see her right about at 0:47 looking into her hand.  Earlier in the tape you can sort of make out writing in her hand too. Now is this really such a big deal?

In the most appalling category...  It seems that Trijicon, a company that makes luminescent sites and scopes for guns, has been putting Bible verses on their products. This is another shining of example of Christians who don't seem to understand their religion.  Would Jesus have approved of killing anyone for any reason?  Jesus was a pacifist and a socialist.  Remember the whole "turn the other

Good Lord, what has the news come to? Fox News reporter Brit Hume suggested Tiger Woods find Jesus instead of messing around with this Buddha thing.  After all, as a Christian, according to Hume, Woods could commit sins then ask for forgiveness and everything would be OK. What in the world?  What a retarded and pompous thing to say.  Who is Hume to judge?  Isn't God supposed to be the judge

I listen to NPR on the way home from work.  The trip isn't that long so I don't get much of it.  But what I do get is nearly always about someone who died.  Every time someone dies, this NPR show replays an old interview with that person or someone who knew that person. And when I say someone who died, I'm talking about anyone!  Yesterday the show was about Willie Mitchell, died at 81 of

My fellow blog partner has encouraged me to write a year-in-review post.  His summary of the year below was very inspiring, not only for me to post about my year, but to think about what I did last year and what I want to do better this year.

Here I sit waiting, waiting for this year to be over. 2009 was a great/bad year. I spent 7 months on unemployment but I did make good use of my time. I spent several weeks at the Ohio Fire Academy, went to Florida for the first time, went to Washington DC on Memorial Day for the ride to the Wall, bicycled The Great Allegheny Passage Trail, bought a killer motorcycle, started paramedic school and

Because Christmas was fast approaching, I picked up a book in the library a week or so ago about Jesus. The book is called "Desire of the Everlasting Hills: The World Before and after Jesus" by Thomas Cahill. It is a fascinating historical account of the life of Jesus, starting with the history of Judea before his birth, his teachings, his death and his legacy. One interesting part of the book

OK, Pres. Bush is out of office and Pres. Obama's changes are starting to take effect. The economy is turning around and we are officially pulling out of the Bush-induced recession.GDP was up 3.5 percent last quarter. That is huge! Unemployment is still high but that will turn around with time.Don't worry everyone, Obama will fix this mess.

Pres. Obama says the winner of the clean-energy race will lead the global economy.I just watched a GE commercial that talked about the same thing.

Here's a good article in the NY Times about the battle between the Obama Administration and Fox News. In the grand scheme of things, it's nothing new. Republican and Democratic presidents throughout our history have complained and fought with the media.It's sad that news channels have to have a bias one way or the other but I think the real problem is not really in the news but in the opinions.

Dunn, in a June 2009 speech to high school students, said she admires and turns to Mao Tse-Tung as one of her favorite political philosophers. It is estimated Mao Tse-Tung killed 50 to 70 million people, many more than Hitler did in World War II.

"Fox News often operates almost as either the research arm or the communications arm of the Republican Party," said Anita Dunn, the White House Communications Director.You can't get any closer to the truth! Fox News is an embarrassment to news organizations around the country.It's a shame that we have to have conservative and liberal news

This blog id dieing and it is being replaced by facebook of all things. What happened, where are our fans and readers. Why is this blog so, so lame! Our favorite blog creator has been fighting the good (not) fight on facebook. A battle of good (conservative) Vs Evil (liberal) is waging on the pages of facebook, not here where it belongs. What is this world coming too.

I thinking about starting a new blog. There's nothing wrong with this one, of course, but I feel like I need another outlet.I'm not sure what the topic should be though. Is there any topic that I can't cover here though? I think we just about cover everything here.Maybe I don't need a new blog. After all, one is enough, right?So what's on my mind today...I keep getting mail from DirectTV. I

And all along we thought it was Hitler. I mean how could Beck not be the anti-Christ? There is the question circulating the Internet asking if Beck did in fact rape and kill a young girl in 1990. Did he? I don't know. Is he really the anti-Christ? When would we know for sure? When it's too late?Regardless, Beck is a classic demagogue and really bad for America. Time magazine thinks

If you are watching a news channel, I would think that you would want them to give you the real deal, just the facts ma'am, the unvarnished truth.Being a former journalist and a journalism major in college, I can tell you that the goal is to report just the facts, don't express opinions except on the opinion page, etc.So what would you think of a news channel that provides support to political

I was listening to the radio on the way home from work today and they were talking to this woman who wrote a book called "The Case for God."Now I only listened to a small part of the 30-minute interview, but I thought it was interesting because she said that the root of all religion is compassion and the universal "do unto others" rule.Problems happen, she said (near the end of the interview),

How much is the $100 million dollars in budget cuts compared to the federal budget as a whole? This video imagines the budget as $100 in pennies to provide the answer.

Regardless of whether you like Obama or not, this is a democracy. A large majority of the people elected him to be president. The health care bill is being voted on by democratically elected people in Congress.Part of being in a democracy is that you have losers. Your guy didn't win, you are the loser. Deal with it. Wait until next election and try to get enough support for your guy.If Obama

Obama keeps pushing his costly health care plane so I am going to keep pushing back as hard as possible. So here we go.Obama says illegals will not be covered under his plan. Read here.The report, Treatment of Noncitizens in H.R. 3200, states definitively, "H.R. 3200 does not contain any restrictions on noncitizens - whether legally or illegally present, or in the United States temporarily or

My fellow blog partner is against President Obama's health care plan, often saying "I don't see anyone dieing out front of hospitals so health care is already available if you want it."I came across an article about Obama's Labor Day speech in Ohio where he pushed the health care issue again.At the bottom of the article was this paragraph; "Daryl Thomas, 51, a cement mixer and union member from

This is appalling. The local school system sent a note home asking parent permission for students to watch President Obama's address to school children.

This blog has had too much negativity targeted at President Obama lately and I haven't done much about it. It's turning into one of those town hall meetings that are being hijacked by radical right-wing conservatives who are afraid of a black president.So let's set the record strait. I figured I'd look up President Obama's approval ratings to see how America really feels about their president.
