  • Dr. King

    I realized I hadn’t blogged the holiday yesterday. Each year the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. means different things for me. What always strikes me as powerful is that he fought for the equality of everybody – and started to turn the coversation toward economic class – a definite taboo in our ‘free […]

  • Barbara Boxer is My New Girlfriend

    Anybody else catch the steaming of the Rice? Boxer raked her over the goals – Kerry did alright too – though he still remains so damned long-winded. I don’t believe anything Condi Rice says at all. And the constant allusions to her special relationship with the President make me sort of disgusted. I’m thinkin it’s […]

  • More Catholic Church-Hating

    Sam: We are going to Hell, and I don’t care. Friend: I wouldn’t have it any other way. Friend: since GWB and the Jesus Crispies will be living it up in heaven of course. Sam: HAHA… Jesus Crispies? I’ve never heard that one before. Friend: I don’t know how we came up with that, but […]

  • ‘Hindi Sad Diamonds' (from Moulin Rouge)

    Watched the last half of Moulin Rouge last night. I mentally started blocking out a stage adaptation of the show in my head – I’m guessing the rights are already nailed down and will probably be produced in about 10 years or so. Totally love the Bollywood/Indian flavored production number – it reminds me a […]

  • Fat Loss Blog Up and Running

    Installed a fresh new copy of WordPress 1.5 (beta) for our fat loss blog – I really like the re-organization they’ve done on the interface and look forward to the release of the official 1.5. https://andymatic.com/mensfatlossblog/ Click Register to sign-up so you can make posts, too. I had Ron take my measurements yesterday – 11.74% […]

  • U.S. May Already Be in Iran

    (well my job loss pity party didn’t last long at all – who am I kidding?) From Seymour Hersh: The United States has been conducting secret reconnaissance missions inside Iran to help identify potential nuclear, chemical and missile targets… The secret missions have been going on at least since last summer with the goal of […]

  • I lost my job.

    Got 2 weeks notice yesterday. Not a huge surprise. The company is settling into a major marketing phase and so project management and development isn’t that necessary for right now. Everybody’s offered condolences and I know it kills my boss to have to let me go. If contracts come through in the next two weeks […]

  • 9th Circuit Court of Appeals OKs Casino Requiring Women to Wear Makeup

    Let’s not get into the question of whether it’s degrading or sexist for women to wear makeup. Sure, it might be for some women – but there are plenty of politically aware girls out there who like to get dolled up. The question here is whether women who are forced to wear makeup when men […]

  • Est. 5,500 U.S. Soldiers Desert Army

    American Army soldiers are deserting and fleeing to Canada rather than fight in Iraq, rekindling memories of the thousands of draft-dodgers who flooded north to avoid service in Vietnam. An estimated 5,500 men and women have deserted since the invasion of Iraq, reflecting Washington’s growing problems with troop morale. Note – it’s the morale that’s […]

  • Dr. Jay's Street Style
