Published in January 31st, 2009

I was really having a hard time for some reason thinking of remakes yesterday so I’m making up for it now. I’m not a criminal but I love “I Shot the Sheriff”.
The first track is the Eric Clapton arrangement that I first heard on the radio as a kid. Here’s a concert version of one […]

…because he was obviously floating on some high octane narcotics to compare himself to Mandella, King and Ghandi on the Today Show this morning. Perspective? What the crap is he talking about? This clown is a total idiot!

Believe it or not this one isn’t about President Obama although it is appropriate for the times. No, this post is about my Sunday school lesson from the beginning of the week.

That’s what we called them when the team was still in St. Louis. The cheer was “Go Big Red!”. I can’t believe the Cardiac Cardinals are actually going. That was their other nickname they earned back in the day for pulling out victories at the last minute and giving us fans heart palpitations. You know, […]
