I certainly plan to “avoid the compression of penile arteries.” According to a new study, men who ride 3,000+ miles on mountain bikes per year may be at risk of infertility. Good thing I haven’t ridden a bike in ages. But when I do get back on one, I’ll have to get some kind of […]

In this eye-opening and rather disturbing article from the Toronto Star, Murray Whyte (oddly enough, the paper’s entertainment reporter), reviews Mark Crispin Miller’s The Bush Dyslexicon: Observations on a National Disorder. The book was originally supposed to be funny (about Bush’s slip-ups in speech), but turned into quite a bit more. What remains is a […]

Continuing in its tradition of sports domination, my high school alma mater football team won in overtime Saturday, pushing its record to 10-0 in round 1 of the Sac-Joaquin Section Division I playoffs. Way to go, Marauders! Jesuit fans apparently demonstrated quite the sportsmanship, too, giving Grant a standing ovation after its loss. That’s quite […]

The Bush administration is creating a scarier world than anyone realizes. As I described in last week’s post on Freemasonry, the government’s new Information Awareness Office wants to collect every little detail about every one of us. And it gets scarier. From John Poindexter, who was convicted on 5 counts of lying to Congress during […]

In the world today: The history of dogs Bowling for Columbine facts out of whack? (or is Forbes just being ridiculous?) Buy the plot of the 5th Harry Potter book for a mere 10 grand

In his article entitled Crotchless Panties Of Doom, Mark Morford argues that the American people and protest-hungry interest groups have much more dangerous threats to worry about than scantily-clad women in Victoria’s Secret lingerie. To quote Jen, who just emailed me the link, this article is “brilliant.” She’s right. Read it.

Do Freemasons rule the world? That’s the question that seems to keep popping up lately. A group of us were discussing Freemasons at my Leadership Program last week, and Jen just told me that her coworker Joe actually is a Freemason. And she emailed me the link to Rob Morse’s column today, which is all […]

Understanding the world around us is something that many people take for granted. Admittedly, I have a hard time identifying all 50 United states on a map, let alone other countries around the globe. I trace this back to a States test I took in 5th grade. Each kid in the class had to keep […]

Yesterday brought the season’s first big storm, and the first rain we’ve seen in about 6 months. And rain it did. So much into the night that fallen trees draped the roads, electricity was shut off until at least 4am this morning, and everywhere was flooded. Going back to Emeryville after dinner, Dad even had […]

I love squirrels. I have this inexplicable obsession with them. In college, my boy Enoch sketched this amazing strip called “Earl the Squirrel.” To date, it is the greatest cartoon ever produced. I own just one Beanie Baby: Nuts the Squirrel. My Dad tells this story about when I was a young boy, running wild […]
