Chuck Norris campaigns for Mike Huckabee...fear him

When Chuck Norris wants something, Chuck Norris gets something. Now contribute to Huckabee or face the wrath, because Chuck Norris doesn’t go hunting, Chuck Norris goes killing.

Hillary Clinton and...cleavage??

Hillary and her campaigners

 

Earlier today I was reading more political news than I probably should, given it’s a full year away from the elections, but to be honest, I’m drawn to the coverage, it’s so pervasive. For some reason I can’t get enough, reading about Ron Paul and his candor/crazy view on the world, and Dennis Kucunich and his 30 year old hot wife, and the rest of the nonsense that makes up the political world we live in. Both sides, left and right, I am following like a hawk.

But what I find really interesting is how Hillary Clinton is doing. Lately her campaign is imploding a little. She backs off a statement about drivers licenses for illegal immigrants. She is about being a working woman and she can take on the world, then she makes a comment about taking the heat in the kitchen. She is Hillary Rodham Clinton, and now she is just Hillary Clinton. Women who are not in her demographic love her but women who are her peers might not vote for her. There was some flap about her bringing up a conversation with a waitress without the waitress saying it was ok.

So with Hillary, I might not like her personality, or most of her views on politics, but it has nothing to do with her being a woman. I think a woman is as capable of being president as anyone, as long as she is qualified. And has a strong handshake. The world has other female leaders who are doing fine. But while reading an article today in the Wall Street Journal about female executives, I read something that made me sick to my stomach. The article was “Looking at Clinton, Seeing Themselves” by Carol Hymowitz.

Sandra Peterson, president of Bayer AG's Bayer HealthCare Diabetes Care and executive vice president of Bayer HealthCare, agrees that "it's hard not to identify with some of what Hillary Clinton is up against," although she's still an undecided voter. When Mrs. Clinton was criticized in a newspaper column for showing some cleavage on the floor this summer, Ms. Peterson recalled the barrage of sexually suggestive "Animal House" remarks leveled at her when she began her career some 20 years ago at the Senate American Stock Exchange.

What?? Huh?? Did I just read that, my eyes are burning and my brain is starting to bleed out of my nose, I am light headed and I think one of my teeth just fell out. Hillary showing CLEAVAGE?? Oh my sweet baby Jesus, that is disgusting. Look, I like cleavage as much as the next guy, but the thought of Hillary and her womanly parts makes me about as turned on as watching a seal being clubbed to death. Hillary is a woman, yes, a strong political factor in the next election, a bright attorney who might break the class ceiling in politics, but there is absolutely NOTHING womanly about her, the least being cleavage.

Think I am nuts talking about it, you are RIGHT. Read about it here.

And think it is inappropriate to bring it up? read about it here.

By the way, Ron Paul might be more on the mark than most people think. Keep on eye on him.

Given my recent post about not wanting to get a massage from women, and this one stating that I don’t want to see Hillary’s boobs, I am NOT gay. Trust me, Kucinich’s wife is really hot. This cowboy is not gay.

Instructions on how to wash your hands

Just in case you forgot how to wash your hands after using the bathroom, I included instructions. Then again, if you need to use this, you should not be out of the hospital ward without adult supervision.

Delta Shuttle, under 4 minutes

It was 4:24PM when the New York City cab I was in pulled up to the curb in front of the Delta Shuttle terminal.

“The Triborough was the fastest way” the cab driver said apologetically.

“I’ll make it”, I reassured him, referring to my 4:30 flight, as I handed him exact change from the backseat.

“I have plenty of time”.

Truth be told, I didn’t think I had a chance at all of making the 4:30. The shuttle runs hourly and when I stepped out of the office building on 57th and Madison at 4PM, I just assumed I would be on the 5:30.

So as I got out of the cab, I hit the ‘start’ button on my running watch, which has a timer.

I walked up to the kiosk, purchased a ticket, got through security (no overnight bag, just a briefcase), walked up the ramp to the gate, and got on the plane as the last person before they closed the door. I looked at my watch and it was 4:27. I did all of that in under 4 minutes.

And more anecdotal evidence I plan on using when I award the Delta Shuttle my annual Green Cookie Handshake Award to the services company that best exemplifies an organization that meets or exceeds my often unrealistic expectations while traveling.

Delta Shuttle, you are the wind beneath my wings.

George Stephanopoulos

I saw George Stephanopoulos at the Delta Shuttle terminal in NY yesterday. I was in line waiting to board a late afternoon flight to Boston and he was in the waiting area for a shuttle to DC. He is very short, like you-can't-board-this-ride-at-Disney short.

Massage

Massages

I got a massage last Friday that Patti set up as a gift. Overall I do not like massages. Let me explain…

1 – First, I am uncomfortable being almost naked in front of a strange woman. Well, maybe not “strange”, but a stranger. This should come as comfort to my wife. I don’t even like to take my shirt off in front of a female doctor. Not that I am shy, I have a rock solid body that even Chuck Norris would be envious of, but to lie on a table with a woman rubbing her hands all over me makes me uncomfortable, even if that is what they do for a living. And forget having a guy do it, no way. I have had three massages in my life previous to last Friday and all of them have been women and it will stay that way.

2 – Usually massages are part of an overall “spa” experience with earthy kind of feel. Soft music playing and waterfall sounds and all that nonsense. I am not the most open minded when it comes to holistic healing and the power of zen and that stuff, so put me almost naked on a bed with butterflies painted on the walls and throw in a woman touching me all over, and I don’t like it.

I love the feel of a massage, I mean who doesn’t, and love when my wife rubs my shoulders or when a physical therapist used to work on my arm in college. The massage the other day was a good experience because it was part of a fitness program type place with chiropractors and physical therapists. It wasn’t in a spa setting and had more of an athlete getting help feel. Plus, the massage was more of a deep tissue thing where the woman tried to work out deep knots and left me sore the day after.

I am done with massages for now. Next time Patti and I are on vacation and she wants to get one, she can have a field day and I’ll either work out or sit and have a drink, both things that would relax me more than having a woman I never met rub oil all over my body while the sound of ping pong balls dropping into a wicker basket plays in the background and field-of-lilies candles burn on the shelf.

Notre Dame over Navy, 43 years

Notre Dame has beaten Navy in college football for the past 43 years, the longest streak in college football history. They are playing this weekend and that streak could end.

You know how I found this out? In a business meeting today. Why did someone bring it up? I have no idea, they kind of threw it out there without any context. It was kind of like random trivia moment that no one knew how to respond to.

Thought I'd share.

You know how I found this out? In a business meeting today. Why did someone bring it up? I have no idea, they kind of threw it out there without any context. It was kind of like random trivia moment that no one knew how to respond to.

Thought I'd share.

Delta Shuttle, under 4 minutes

It was 4:24PM when the New York City cab I was in pulled up to the curb in front of the Delta Shuttle terminal.

“The Triborough was the fastest way” the cab driver said apologetically.

“I’ll make it”, I reassured him, referring to my 4:30 flight, as I handed him exact change from the backseat.

“I have plenty of time”.

Truth be told, I didn’t think I had a chance at all of making the 4:30. The shuttle runs hourly and when I stepped out of the office building on 57th and Madison at 4PM, I just assumed I would be on the 5:30.

So as I got out of the cab, I hit the ‘start’ button on my running watch, which has a timer.

I walked up to the kiosk, purchased a ticket, got through security (no overnight bag, just a briefcase), walked up the ramp to the gate, and got on the plane as the last person before they closed the door. I looked at my watch and it was 4:27. I did all of that in under 4 minutes.

And more anecdotal evidence I plan on using when I award the Delta Shuttle my annual Green Cookie Handshake Award to the services company that best exemplifies an organization that meets or exceeds my often unrealistic expectations while traveling.

Delta Shuttle, you are the wind beneath my wings.

George Stephanopoulos

I saw George Stephanopoulos at the Delta Shuttle terminal in NY yesterday. I was in line waiting to board a late afternoon flight to Boston and he was in the waiting area for a shuttle to DC. He is very short, like you-can't-board-this-ride-at-Disney short.

Massage

Massages

I got a massage last Friday that Patti set up as a gift. Overall I do not like massages. Let me explain…

1 – First, I am uncomfortable being almost naked in front of a strange woman. Well, maybe not “strange”, but a stranger. This should come as comfort to my wife. I don’t even like to take my shirt off in front of a female doctor. Not that I am shy, I have a rock solid body that even Chuck Norris would be envious of, but to lie on a table with a woman rubbing her hands all over me makes me uncomfortable, even if that is what they do for a living. And forget having a guy do it, no way. I have had three massages in my life previous to last Friday and all of them have been women and it will stay that way.

2 – Usually massages are part of an overall “spa” experience with earthy kind of feel. Soft music playing and waterfall sounds and all that nonsense. I am not the most open minded when it comes to holistic healing and the power of zen and that stuff, so put me almost naked on a bed with butterflies painted on the walls and throw in a woman touching me all over, and I don’t like it.

I love the feel of a massage, I mean who doesn’t, and love when my wife rubs my shoulders or when a physical therapist used to work on my arm in college. The massage the other day was a good experience because it was part of a fitness program type place with chiropractors and physical therapists. It wasn’t in a spa setting and had more of an athlete getting help feel. Plus, the massage was more of a deep tissue thing where the woman tried to work out deep knots and left me sore the day after.

I am done with massages for now. Next time Patti and I are on vacation and she wants to get one, she can have a field day and I’ll either work out or sit and have a drink, both things that would relax me more than having a woman I never met rub oil all over my body while the sound of ping pong balls dropping into a wicker basket plays in the background and field-of-lilies candles burn on the shelf.

Just in case you forgot how to wash your hands after using the bathroom, I included instructions. Then again, if you need to use this, you should not be out of the hospital ward without adult supervision.

Not that I am shy, I have a rock solid body that even Chuck Norris would be envious of, but to lie on a table with a woman rubbing her hands all over me makes me uncomfortable, even if that is what they do for a living. And forget having a guy do it, no way. I have had three massages in my life previous to last Friday and all of them have been women and it will stay that way.

2 – Usually massages are part of an overall “spa” experience with earthy kind of feel. Soft music playing and waterfall sounds and all that nonsense. I am not the most open minded when it comes to holistic healing and the power of zen and that stuff, so put me almost naked on a bed with butterflies painted on the walls and throw in a woman touching me all over, and I don’t like it.

I love the feel of a massage, I mean who doesn’t, and love when my wife rubs my shoulders or when a physical therapist used to work on my arm in college. The massage the other day was a good experience because it was part of a fitness program type place with chiropractors and physical therapists. It wasn’t in a spa setting and had more of an athlete getting help feel. Plus, the massage was more of a deep tissue thing where the woman tried to work out deep knots and left me sore the day after.

I am done with massages for now. Next time Patti and I are on vacation and she wants to get one, she can have a field day and I’ll either work out or sit and have a drink, both things that would relax me more than having a woman I never met rub oil all over my body while the sound of ping pong balls dropping into a wicker basket plays in the background and field-of-lilies candles burn on the shelf.

Notre Dame over Navy, 43 years

Notre Dame has beaten Navy in college football for the past 43 years, the longest streak in college football history. They are playing this weekend and that streak could end.

You know how I found this out? In a business meeting today. Why did someone bring it up? I have no idea, they kind of threw it out there without any context. It was kind of like random trivia moment that no one knew how to respond to.

Thought I'd share.
