One Fine Jay

Dinner at Houlihan’s

Of late, I’ve avoided national chain restaurants due to their massive portions, so-so service in general, and the selections. Besides, I’ve been cooking a lot of my food, and with the help of a slow cooker, cooking has become much easier for me. Trying out a new restaurant, though, is the general exception to this… Continue reading this entry

Project: Republicans Against 8

My lastest project was actually launched over a month ago. Under the art direction of my client, RSC Partners, in conjunction with the Log Cabin Republicans, I developed the WordPress theme for the Republicans Against 8 site. I had a lot of fun working with RSC on this one. For one, the rounded boxes with… Continue reading this entry

Shifting gears

After a week of election-related blogging, with fifteen days left to Nov 4, I’m changing topics for a while. P.S. @ 2008-10-20 1058H: Oh but before I go. The big news of yesterday was Colin Powell’s endorsement of BHO. His timing, really, is quite belated. Were JSM or any other Republican to say, in reaction… Continue reading this entry

This is it, fellas

It may be silly for me to say this at this point, less than three weeks from the election, but Joe The Plumber, the Obamarmy’s reaction to him, the the magic words, “spread the wealth around” give us the one, last, great hope to keep BHO out of the White House. The Left is terrified,… Continue reading this entry

“Liberal”

The 24-hour hero of this presidential campaign has got to be Joe “The Plumber” Wurzelbacher. A few days before the last presidential debate, he was able to finagle out of BHO a clear declaration of the candidate’s Socialist economic world view. “Spread the wealth around.” We on the Right need to build a guerrilla campaign… Continue reading this entry

I make funny bets

Before the Democrat convention and tensions were running high between HRC and BHO, I placed a silly bet amongst my friends that she would would broker the convention in her favor and pull the nomination right from under his feet. The total toll? Lunch for three people, on separate occasions. This bring me to my… Continue reading this entry

Third presidential debate post-mortem

I feel resurgent. But not overly triumphant, because Senator McCain and friends have a long way to go to the one and only important poll of all. McCain dancing around trying to figure out which way to go to shake Bob Schieffer’s hand was cute. Bob Schieffer moderated what is perhaps the best format for… Continue reading this entry

Scenes from Bush’s final press conference

(Your typical press conference set up. A lectern, bristling with microphones. Conspicuous in its absence is the teleprompter, which doesn’t happen to be anywhere in sight. The outgoing president walks into view, and begins to address the nation.) PRESIDENT GWB: My fellow Americans, this year has been a year of great challenge to us. As… Continue reading this entry

Conflicting ideas

Isn’t there anything more American than pie? Especially apple pie, yes. I saw a few things yesterday that brought my mind to pie. First was the BHO video of fifteen mentions of pie, which I first saw on The Anchoress. I was at work, though, and so I couldn’t watch the video at the time,… Continue reading this entry

Long, deep breaths

Senator McCain’s dismal performance last Tuesday has led many a Conservative to depression (see: myself), frustration (see: Hot Air) and even desertion (see: Christopher Buckley). We all need to take a few long, deep breaths before going nuclear on each other. There are legitimate points raised by Abe Greenwald and Jennifer Rubin on Commentary Magazine’s… Continue reading this entry
