    Gun control

    I heard a woman on NPR yesterday talking about how poor women don't have the right to abortions if the government won't pay for them. I had a good laugh when I thought about how she would probably feel about applying this logic to the second amendment. Free guns for the poor!

    2013 NFL Playoffs

    It sort of depends on where your team has been in recent years. Last year I was disappointed that the 49ers lost the NFC championship but I was thrilled with the season after making the playoffs one time in the last 10 years.

    Paleo 101: How and why you should eat like a Caveman

    Somewhere between a bowling ball and a basketball depending on how bad it is. Often has maggots as well if you don't catch it early. For this I am more than happy to pay the vet $65 to deal with it.

    Worth going all Apple?

    I can't wait to see what Apple does in response to their stock tanking this winter. I get the feeling that they are terrified to do anything big without Steve Jobs to sign off on it, but they have reached the point where their IOS software is starting to look horribly dated and hasn't changed...

    Paleo 101: How and why you should eat like a Caveman

    You know, I have dealt with prolapses in cattle, assisted in the birth of many calves, collected manure samples and mailed them to Texas for nutritional analysis, and I get shit on me at least twice a week, but for some reason doing any of that stuff with humans seems infinitely worse to me.

    Gun control

    I can't believe you guys are still going back and forth on this. I have a question though for people who have been paying attention. Did they ever definitively say whether the last school shooter used that bushmaster or not? I heard it was left in the car, then I heard that it was used just...

    Service Providers (Internet, TV, Etc)

    I don't know if you have tried dialup lately, but almost no part of the internet works over it anymore. My Mom tried to get into her Gmail on dialup last summer and no matter how many times she tried the page would not load. Ditto for facebook. The internet is just not meant for connections...

    Top Chef - Seattle

    Tom was drunk as hell during the dinner. I really got the feeling that they were sick of Josie and she was going home no matter what if she was in the bottom. I am fine with this. Brooke really shit the bed this week but I'm sure she will bounce back. Can't believe Stephan made Cordon Bleu...

    Paleo 101: How and why you should eat like a Caveman

    My nutritionist used to be a big fan of pomegranates because they are fairly low in sugar/calories, high in fiber/vitamins/minerals/antioxidants and best of all, it takes a fucking hour to eat one.

    Paleo 101: How and why you should eat like a Caveman

    That happened to me with 'madrigal' a few months ago. I had never heard that word in my life and then it seemed like it was everywhere, both as it's basic definition and also as people's names, company names, etc. I swear I looked it up in the dictionary and then heard it 6 more times in the...

    Justified - Season 4 starts Jan 8th

    The dialog in that scene was so damn good. I wish I could quote it exactly but the part when he was trying to simultaneously take down the church and giving the preacher sincere advice was fantastic.

    Oh, I missed the significance of the safety pin and that his money was taken. That all makes sense.

    Paleo 101: How and why you should eat like a Caveman

    I don't doubt for a minute that any of that stuff is true, but that also doesn't mean that jumping on some feel-good fad diet is smart or rational when it's based on not much of anything aside from a romantic story about cavemen. The idea that medical science is flawed so you should follow a...

    Justified - Season 4 starts Jan 8th

    So did whatshername play Raylan from the start? Did she run off with her ex or did he kidnap her? I wouldn't think the apartment would be trashed that badly if she was kidnapped unless the fighter guy was looking for something but it could also just have been her packing in a rush. Boyd...

    Notre Dame Manti Te'o dead girlfriend a hoax

    I find the idea that somebody went to the extreme extent to perpetrate this hoax just as unbelievable as the idea that Manti would be dumb enough to fall for it. Why would someone spend hours a week on this gag and what woman would say yes when somebody asked them to have long heart-to-heart...

    Thanks, I thought there had to be a bit more to it. I doubt I will be able to get any of the stuff you suggested but I'll keep my eyes open. Bulleit is the bourbon I drink and I kind of like it for the reasons you mentioned. I like my whiskey to kick me in the teeth personally. When someone...

    Californication

    I think it would be pretty funny if Becca writes a horrifically terrible book and Hank has to break the news to her to keep her from being publicly humiliated. I doubt that's the way that they will go with it though and even though I'm DVRing the season, I will have to be really out of stuff...

    Girls Season 2

    There was some criticism for season 1 being "too white" and having no remotely ethnic characters. I think putting in a black guy but making him a Republican was supposed to be an an acknowledgement of that criticism but with a little "fuck you" blended in. They haven't done a great job of...

    2013 NFL Playoffs

    I was thinking about the superbowl teams and it's kind of interesting. The mantra in the NFL has always been "Offense wins games, Defense wins championships" and if you look at the SB teams they both have great defense, but in the case of the 49ers, it's the offense that has been getting it...

    Came across this picture I took with a cell phone camera before cell phone cameras were good. Total luck but I love the shot. It's the Blue Angels, taken from the Golden Gate Bridge.

    Liquors & Cocktails

    Sure I've had Crown Royal. Is that considered "rye"? If so then I should not have been surprised at my disappointment. I read that my preferred bourbon was higher in rye than most bourbons and since I like that then rye whiskey must be even better. I guess that was an incorrect assumption.

    Paleo 101: How and why you should eat like a Caveman

    It's just the placebo effect anyway. Nobody remembers how much "energy" they had a year ago. People who say shit like this are just excited about their new diet so they say stupid things like "I have a ton more energy now!". No matter what the diet is, if the people selling it tell you it...

    Margarine doesn't really have trans fats anymore. When they came out as the newest OMG THIS WILL KILL YOU substance the margarine companies all reformulated.

    Liquors & Cocktails

    I wanted to see what the whole "rye" thing was about, so I went to the liquor store and all they had was Pendleton 1910 for $42, and then Jim Beam and some $12 no-name stuff. I am not a Jim Beam fan so I bought the Pendleton and I'm not particularly impressed with it. Is this a good example of...

    Sounds nice if you want it to be your only cooking utensil. You can get a good slow cooker for under $50 though if you don't need it to also be a hot plate.

    Paleo 101: How and why you should eat like a Caveman

    Why would you need butter to make bacon? You have to use butter or at least a mix of butter and oil if you want things to brown nicely. Hash browns are a good example of this. And of course butter is necessary for baking, but then most baking is not supposed to be healthy. I use the olive...

    Adventures with Corndog: Corndog's Fish Store

    Yes, it was a clever and funny plan, but also totally insane, much like handing the shotgun to the slave in the opening scene. The guy was totally reckless throughout the movie.

    Paleo 101: How and why you should eat like a Caveman

    The nutrition thing is beyond confusing although everyone knows how to eat decently, it's just doing it that's hard. I don't know about low carb stuff but I do know that I get bread cravings that are at least as bad as sugar cravings and maybe worse. There's been many a time that I have gone...

    If walking completely unprotected into about 50 gun barrels and planning that you will be able to tell your complicated story in dramatic fashion before someone decides to shoot you is a good plan then yeah.

    Django Unchained

    This. I don't think he cared about the money, but no way was he going to let Candie make him leave the place like a bitch and when he found out that Candie was dead set on doing just that, there was only one option left. Didn't seem out of character to me at all.
