With so many White House scandals—and new ones popping up every day—how are average citizens supposed to keep track? Wouldn’t it be nice if Obama went on ESPN and mapped them all on a bracket? Don’t waste your time on college basketball when you can make March Madness matter. Introducing the 2015 Obama Scandal Bracket! […]

I read Claire’s excellent post wherein she ruminated on updating her profile picture. The point I took away from it–because I’m so smart, you see–was that I should update mine to be as much like hers as possible. Within my very severe limitations as a sort of Drew Carey for ugly people, I think I pulled […]

Washington, D.C.–Just days after Murphy Brown announced that she is a lesbian and that her son, Avery, was the result of artificial insemination, 300 prominent Republicans issued a statement apologizing to Ms. Brown.  “We’re so sorry for how much terrible persecution you endured at the hands of former Vice President Dan Quayle,” the statement began. “Artificially […]

Two or more years ago I stumbled upon the Numberphile channel on YouTube. While catching up on their videos, I discovered an interesting one on “How big is a billion?”. It got me to thinking about how Obama could use this to appear to be reducing the debt. The summary of the video is that there […]

I am pretty self sufficient.  I look dapper and awesome in my work apron or the kitchen apron (or even the chemical apron).  I make it look good.  I can cook, clean, sew, as well as the electrical work, plumbing, and auto maintenance.   But you have been granted a reprieve; the stalking dogs of total […]

PIT 5.0 has proven the limits of Rico 2.0 – we broke the age limit on alerts.  We are therefore re-launching it.  The PIT is like the faculty lounge for members, or maybe like furnace room where the janitors hang out.  It is a general non-topical forum post, a sort of open-to-all chat room or forum […]

So, I’m reclining in a chair at the bedside of an old man, asleep, in a nursing home. Life is easy when the senile sleep. On the other side of my chair is a coffee table with a single item, taunting me: a container of delicious cookies. The catch is that it’s one of those […]

There once were two neighbors.  One neighbor was an avid gardener, keeping vivid overflowing flowerbeds, rows and rows of vegetables, and an arbor strung with grape vines.  This gardener was very conscientious of his work, daily weeding and tending, watering and pruning.  He was, however overly proud of his garden, and not known for allowing others in […]

Not many of the younger generations are familiar with black-and-white films, aside from a handful of classics replayed around Christmas. Somehow, even my siblings escaped that education while I spent countless hours on guided tours of cinematic history with my dad. One consequence is that I was exposed to humor of 1930s vintage.  I learned […]

Do you dream in monochrome? Does the term “manual labor” recall painful memories of assembly or installation? Does the Geek Squad avoid your phone calls? Then this post is for you. What current inventions do you loathe? What innovations do you fear are inevitable? What old products do you miss and are certain you could […]

I admit to writing this essay with a great deal of trepidation. As a Conservative, and as an American, and moreover as a Male, a Husband, and a Father, I feel that I have failed in fulfilling my moral, familial, and community obligations. I have gone back over this confession many times, have rehearsed the […]

All the rain we have been getting here lately reminds me of the frequent thunderstorms southeast Texas got when I was a kid. Back then, it “rained buckets” and you couldn’t run fifteen feet (say, from your car to the door) without being completely drenched. Sometimes you couldn’t even see that distance because of the rain. […]
