I love that Nancy Pelosi has the time to speak to Richard Gere about Tibet even more than I love the fact that CNN considers this a "developing story". Who gives a &^%*%) whats going on in Tibet and while I'm at it, why is Richard Gere even being received in Washington after the comments he's made in the past? Why Nancy isn't spending EVERY WAKING HOUR trying to sort through the nations

I admire Forrest in many ways but his work ethic really shines the brightest. Unlike many people his age (or mine) he works consistently not only to keep his head above the rising financial waterline but to prepare himself for a completely debt free, well financed future. Not only does he have a 9-to-5 career level job, he also works 30+ hours a week slinging flora and fauna at Lowes outdoor,

I decided to turn on the 11 o'clock news before winding down the evening here in Washington and was SHOCKED at the top story. 7 shootings, 4 stabbings and 3 new body discoveries all today.

Many Euros call New Years Eve "Sylvester". It has something to do with Saint Sylvester...whoever that is. despite the funny name, we had a great time. In Prague, new years starts off with a big meal at local restaurants or hotels. Odd food items like salted cod sashimi and bacon dumplings (disappointing) and goulash accompanied more traditional fare like Ham and roast beef. You can expect 3 to 4

Forrest and I decorated my Christmas tree last night and then sat by the fire. We were talking about how lovely it would be if it were snowing outside...and low and behold... it was. It snowed in Austin last night. Granted not a flake stuck to the ground, but I saw it with my own eyes. It made the inside feel that much cozier....The mantle aglowI insisted.

Slate.com is reporting the most likely candidates for Pardon by George bush in anticipation of his exit from power this winter. The usual suspects are all there. The Enron guys, Michael Milken, some sleazy republican ex-congressmen, and other shamed non-notables. Even Marion Jones and Michael Vick could grab themselves a get-out-of-jail-free card, although unlikely.There is, however, one person

The big three Auto makers have been in Washington these past few days fighting for their lives. Of course this comes in the form of a 25 Billion dollar bail out loan they expect the US (ie taxpayers) to pony up. My feelings remain, they shouldn't get a dime. They've spent the last 15 years ignoring rising fuel costs, continuing to pump out lack-luster gas guzzlers and watching foreign automakers

Despite is title, its not designed to embitter or usher its readers into further depths of self pity, it attempts helps make sense of the ridiculousness that is gay dating and relationship cycles. It covers all the basis,

Forrest brought Paris, Je T’Aime into my life last night and I must say it was fantastic. Not only is Paris my favorite city in the world, because of him, I can now imagine rediscovering it street by street with someone special. As cliché as it sounds, I had a springtime Parisian love affair one extended weekend way back when. We ran around the city in the rain, looked at art, ate stale baggets

As our trip to Maui comes to an all-too-soon end I m reminded of how lucky I am to have such a wonderful family and am extremely grateful that we were able to spend these last 6 days together in this beautiful place. Even though my grandmother claims that this was her swan song, I have a feeling I will see her in another exotic destination or two before it's all said and done. She enjoyed the

So Texas is in the midst of a hurricane feeding frenzy. Through the evacuation headlines and emergency broadcasting, bubbles up snippets of environmental verbal diarrhea that really chaps my fat ass.One of the cornerstones of climate alarmism is that global warming is causing stronger, more destructive Hurricanes.

My Coal client was recently denied by a small outdoor-focused publication in Asheville North Carolina. “We don’t support the coal-fired energy industry” they claimed, “we won’t run your advertising”. They remained hard lined even after I sent them an email explaining that 80% of Asheville’s electricity comes from Coal-fired power plants. They replied by sending me a photo of a windmill. I didn’t

I've been re-watching some 80's movies recently and felt obligated to include Flashdance. I love it. A "steel-town girl" (Jennifer Beals) welds rivets with the boys during the day and dances for them at night. She has big dreams of joining a prestigious ballet school but things aren't so simple for a blue collar girl from the wrong side of the tracks. Then she F**Ks her influential boss...

Charlie 'successfully' brought us down in the desert...unfortunately we were stuck there.

Im excited to be heading to Phoenix to enjoy the Arizona Biltmore tomorrow afternoon for the long weekend. CR and I will be soaking in the desert sun inbetween mud baths, salt scrubs and oxygen facials. I've always wanted to visit the Biltmore as Frank Lloyd Wrights consulted it's constuction and is often high atop the list of his most notable buildings. He, like I , loved simple design and the

A response to my thoughts on the PBS documentary 'Carrier' from someone whose perspective I always appreciate. I thought it deserved to see more than a comment box, so here it is."Whether on a carrier, in Baghdad, in an isolated village in Iraq, or in the poppy fields and mountains of Afghanistan, we are at war. Sacrifices are made, including the ultimate sacrifice, every day. But, the sacrifice

Dear Fine Retailers.Please STOP with the wrinkle free fabric. It’s ugly, thick, doesn’t feel good and lays terribly on the body. It looks like a really bad version of that Visa By Dacron fabric Barbara Mandrel used to taut in the late 80’s. It's awful..Even my Alma Mater, Brooks Brothers, has succumbed to the wrinkle free black hole. The selection otherwise was scant. I just dropped close to

CR recently mentioned a program called “Carrier” that’s been airing on PBS recently that documents the real lives of the NAVY personnel deployed on the USS Nimitz for a period of six months. I happened to catch the beginning of an episode here in my hotel room in DC, 2 hours later I hadn’t moved from the chair and was completely hooked. This is the most candid, real, in depth look into the true

Because im a glutton for punishment, sometimes I like to compare real estate here in Austin with that of another area of the country. Below, I am comparing home sale prices in Travis County Tx and those found in Scotland County NC (where my folks live).Travis County TX: $110,000.................Scotland County NC, $109,000 Travis County TX: $280,000.................Scotland County, NC $278,000

As hard as it was to do, I passed up on an opportunity to attend a taping of the Oprah Winfrew Show at Cesears Palace in Las Vegas. Her guests... Mrs Tina Turner and Cher. The show tapes this saturday and getting there would have been too painfull. Gay men and stay-at-home moms everywhere will be dropping eggs left and right on Tuesday afternoon at 4 when the show airs on Oprah. And I could have

Buenos Aires finally shined through the thick smoke and revealed itself to us. A beautiful city that now sits on my favorites list. Days have been filled with cultural tours and insaine bargain shopping and nights kicking off with 11:30pm dinner and socalizing to Electronic Tango into the wee hours of the morning. Argentinians are clearly more formal in their everyday lives, men in suits, ties

I had a late dinner last night at the recently remodeled 'Trio' restaurant at The Four Seasons here in Austin. Twas delish. Some notable items aside from my bone-in beef tenderloin (which was slightly undercooked for a medium rare) :1. Braised Pork Belly served with a poached-then-deep-fried egg. Deliciously prepared, I didn't even mind the yolk pouring out of the egg when sliced open. It worked

Am I the only person on earth who couldn't give a rats ass about the Dalai Lama? Evidently he's in the United States riling up the part-time Buddhists over the protests that have been fanning out the Olympic Torch in various cities. Tibet needs to grow some balls if they want to survive in this world. Sending a bald man in who speaks in confusing riddles and bows a lot isn't going to help solve

An old standard in Austin politics closes up shop today and I hate to see PinkDome.com go. I have the pleasure of calling it's author a good friend and I know his satirical humor will be sorely missed in the capital and elsewhere around town. I know that his feelings about the Terry Keel/anonymous blogger debacle had something to do with his decision to call it quits, but his insanely busy
