Things That I Give Canada Credit For…

I started watching the Opening Ceremonies of the Olympics (yes, it’s Friday…  and I’m sitting here) and watched in wonderment as one, after another, after another b-list celebrities were revealed to me as native Canadians.  We all knew Barenaked Ladies.  Maybe a few knew Bryan/Ryan Adams.  But Nelly Furtado?  Sarah McLaughlin?  Some kid from the [...]

Weak Side Late Assignment: The Rest of You Are Fools

Whoa, CubicleGM still exists.  I almost forgot.  Hopefully you haven’t gone too far.  Like Gideon, I returned from the halfway glorious, halfway downright out-of-control city of New Orleans yesterday after about seven separate flight cancellations on U.S. Airways, my new favorite for least favorite company in America.  The interesting part is that we didn’t intend [...]

Whatchu Starin’ At, Abyss?

Performance Review: NFL Playoff Predictions Gone Horribly Wrong

With Week 14 of the NFL season nearly in the books, the playoff picture is starting to take shape, with the exception of the AFC Wild Card race, which is just as muddled now as it was in Week 1.  Some teams have already clinched home field (Indianapolis), while other division races may come down [...]
