The Wire (HBO) — I watched a few episodes during season 1, but never got hooked, and have not seen an episode sicnce.

A Rant About Pachelbel and Cellos

Classical music and cellos. Not usually the topic of comedy routines, I know. But this video of comedian/musician Rob Paravonian is really good.

I will not submit. So take your “outrage” over insults against your religion of rage and your prophet of death and shove them up your ass. Oh, and Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas, My Friend

To all of our men and women serving in harms way and far from home — thank you and Merry Christmas!

Illegals Killing Americans Faster than Terrorists

Posted by Robbie Cooper on December 20th, 2006 | Trackback

If you have ever spent more than two weeks watching the local evening news in Houston (where I grew up), this would come as no surprise to you (except the pro-open borders local MSM in Houston would never use the denigrating term “illegal”; they prefer “undocumented” or “Mexican national”).

Random Restaurant Conversations

One lady turns to the other and says, “I still owe you a $1.25.”

So there’s such a thing as good crack then?

Posted by Robbie Cooper on December 18th, 2006 | Trackback

That’s why Emily McFarlane wants to shut down the Recruiting Station. It’s not about saving Soldiers from getting stuck in Iraq — it’s because she beleives that the Army turns young men into “instruments of sexual violence”

Kubiak needs to let fans know — BEFORE we get next season’s renewal notice — that they plan on ending the Carr experiment. He can do that by benching Carr for the final two games.

Who Cares if John Edwards is Running?

Posted by Robbie Cooper on December 17th, 2006 | Trackback

The real question is, What does it matter? There is probably a zero percent chance that he gets the nod over Obama or Clinton. But still — this is a pretty funny summary of his career, which, outside of buying a Senate seat, has hardly indicated that he’s fit to manage much more than his own day-to-day affairs.

I get linked on the front page of Memeorandum from time-to-time, but it’s the first time I’ve seen a blog post appear in the Featured Posts section. I’m continually amazed and thrilled to find out that others are actually reading what I write, and that others are linking back to what I write.

Posted by Robbie Cooper on December 16th, 2006 | Trackback

Needing to rebound from a bit of a let down, we moved on to two orders of akami sashimi (red meat tuna). And we weren’t dissapointed — and at $24 per serving (five pieces of fish per serving), I would hope not.
