“Why won’t you love me
For who I am
Where I am?”
He said:
“‘Cause that’s not the way the world is, baby.”

Technology Enhances Chivalry
My son’s a junior in high school now . . . tonight he went to a school homecoming dance instead of watching the USC-Cal game with his dad.
Sing it with me:
The cat’s in the cradle and the silver spoon . . .
This morning he went with his mom to buy a dress shirt and a tie. When they’d narrowed the choice down to two ties, he took a photo of them with his phone and sent them to the girl to see which one would go better with her dress . . .
Hey You!
You can’t walk a puppy by just dragging him along like a pull-toy! Dogs have to be allowed to explore their surroundings! If you don’t understand that, get a f^$&ing cat!
Sorry about my language but I am suuuuuuuper irritated right now. I hope that dog gets to be a hundred pounds and drags you into a lake.

I Do the Work of Two People Anyway
I got this email at work today:
Due to an erroneous payroll submission by ADP (our payroll service,) a duplicate deposit of your paycheck was entered today for those who have direct deposit. Expect these funds to be retracted tonight by ADP.
Well the joke’s on them because I already spent it haha . . .

Thomas Jefferson on Freedom
We’re not interested in government fixes, we’re interested in freedom.
My fellow Americans —
This Palin woman stimulates me on multiple levels. She’s absolutely right in what she says. Let’s go back to first principles. We founded this country as “the land of the free and the home of the brave,” not as a goddamn hippie commune for pussies.
I believe in America and I believe in Americans. I believe that the majority of Americans — not as one-sided a majority as there was in my day but a majority nonetheless — do not want to be condescended to, do not want to be talked down to, but rather just want to be left alone to succeed or fail on their own merits.
Yours eternally in freedom,
Tom
