College Football and Life's Other Significant Topics. Monday, June 24, 2013. Mad Men Season 6 Review: Wants And Needs. Last year, I reviewed the Season 5 finale of Mad Men. What to make of Season 6? Through the first 10 installments of this 13-episode season, I was - frankly - underwhelmed. Yes, Don Draper had problems with women, drink, his marriage, his sense of self, and all the other usual demons. Tell us something we, the loyal viewers of the show, didn't already know. Not what they wanted. To see c...

College Football and Life's Other Significant Topics. Tuesday, December 17, 2013. Jameis Winston and the Impossible Resolution. Human beings are different. They - we - are different in so many ways, amidst our similarities. Different in terms of ideology. Different in terms of regional heritage, national identity, and cultural comfort zones. It is therefore no surprise at all, and may I hastily add, no defect or flaw,. Not a dollar is being made or sought in this post. It's an attempt to continue a n...

College Football and Life's Other Significant Topics. Monday, July 9, 2012. Loathing the Loathing: A Call For A Tennis Fan Truce. I am a quixotic person. I tilt at windmills. Paul Wellstone, he of the 1 vote in many 98- or 99-1 United States Senate votes, was a foremost political hero of mine. I fight losing battles. Hey, I'm a political lefty. Moreover, Jesus fought losing battles. With Roger Federer, no such dirt exists. No, you don't have to like the guy. No, you don't have to see the world th...Feder...

College Football and Life's Other Significant Topics. Tuesday, June 12, 2012. Mad Men, The Season Five Finale: Don and Megan Everywhere. On with the show, now that we have at least 35 weeks (probably more) to wait for season six. and talk about what has happened over the past 12 Sundays:. In my mind, the essential takeaways from the exploration and expression of the Don-Megan relationship in the season 5 finale are as follows:. Someone I talked to online asked this very penetrating question: "Has Don gro...

Pocketful o' Wry. Musings By The Window Seat. Turgenev speaks to the Clintons from his grave! January 21, 2008. March 4, 2015. Some background (circa 2008):. I was sick of the back and forth between the Clinton and Obama camps and mad as hell against Bill Clinton! Does he think he’s running for his 3rd term?

Pocketful o' Wry. Musings By The Window Seat. Are we lost in the shuffle? October 3, 2010. March 4, 2015. And even if not, is it too little too late? Or does it matter? This week’s issue of “America”. 8211; the Catholic weekly – carried a story that threatens my already fragile sense of identity – or maybe not! It’s the story of the Church’s attempt to address the problems of the “historic churches of the Middle East” including the Syrian Catholic. Yes, and, yes! Oh, wait another minute! Is it perhaps th...

The need of the hour is a genetically modified weed-eating rabbit! If they can grow all those organs from pig-gut linings, I don’t see this to be such an impossibility. Bet someone will make a killing on that idea – and you heard it here first! I take a moment away from my spreadsheets to idly speculate how I’d put that genetic bunny to work. The Peony tuber&...
