Pensacola Restaurant & Dining Reviews

Sunday, December 30th, 2007

Time out for a little shameless self-promotion. Not for this blog, but for Philly’s Cheesesteaks & Hoagies, our family business. Like most transplants from the Philadelphia region, when you’re out and about the country, you’re wishing you knew where you could get a good cheesesteak. So on the subject of cheesesteaks, I […]

2008 Mummers Parade On TV

Sunday, December 30th, 2007

Great news for those people, like myself, who have moved away from the Philadelphia area and miss seeing the Mummers Parade. According to Mummers.com, the 2008 parade on New Years Day will be broadcast on SuperStation WGN for FOUR 4 FOUR HOURS starting at 2pm/et!
Hip Hip, Hooray!
UPDATE 1/1/2008: I sent WGN some […]

Bhutto, Another Casualty In War On Terror

Thursday, December 27th, 2007

Our best hope to succeed Musharraf in Pakistan just got assassinated, meeting the same fate as her father and brothers. The same way that the pro-democracy anti-Syrian political leaders in Lebanon were assassinated over the last few years. Most recently about a month ago.
For the head-in-the-sanders out there, those who don’t believe there […]

Tiger Attack At San Francisco Zoo

Thursday, December 27th, 2007

You know, it’s too bad that somebody got killed and two others injured when a Siberian tiger had the opportunity to do what Siberian tigers do.  It is hard to believe that there were no security cameras there for the protection of the animals as well as to monitor bad behavior of tourists.

H.R. 6, The Energy Bill That Isn’t

Wednesday, December 26th, 2007

True to form, the highly touted energy bill does zip, zero, nada towards getting more energy. If the politicians were honest, they would have called it a conservation bill. The highlights of the bill are changing light bulbs, mixing bio-fuels with fossil fuels, and squeezing the auto industry into the go-cart business. OK, […]

Today’s Special: Fearing Freedom & Islamic Pedophilia

Sunday, December 23rd, 2007

Some images certainly are worth a thousand words. Some don’t need explaining. Some do. Take Time Magazine’s ‘Person of the Year’ and UNICEF’s ‘Photo of the Year’ for example.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, selected as Time Magazines ‘Person of the Year‘ for 2007 evokes a certain disdain from people who love freedom. Putin fears […]

The Godfathers In Congress

Friday, December 21st, 2007

I don’t know how else to characterize it when politicians believe, and so far get away with, that because they are elected representatives of the people that they are immune from criminal investigations. It’s enough to make Tony Soprano jealous.
The Justice Department has asked the Supreme Court to overturn an appeals court decision […]
