  Number of comments: 1
  This photo of Danica Patrick in a JR Motorsports GoDaddy uniform appeared briefly on her website before being pulled and replaced with her Indycar GoDaddy uniform.  (Photo from 4-Wide.)  Oops, someone will be in trouble for that one because GoDaddy wanted their announcement with Patrick and Indycar to be announced before anything with NASCAR was [...]

• Motorola and AT&T Customer Service Experience

  Last night and this morning I had the chance to deal with both Motorola and AT&T customer services.  It’s an interesting comparison. My wife’s new phone wasn’t functioning properly when we got it via UPS, so we did our due diligence with it before calling Motorola.  This included using the instructions that came [...]

• Gross Insensitivity From Obama Following Shootings

  President Barack Hussein Obama showed extreme insensitivity in his first remarks regarding the Ft. Hood shootings on Thursday.  You know it’s bad when an NBC affiliate calls him “insensitive, “frightening”, and ”wildy disconnected and inappropriately light”.  He’s such a flippant ass this just can’t be ignored, even by the liberals. This article [...]

• 2009 Fall Talladega Race

  The 2009 fall Talladega race is over and I’m feeling less than satisfied. The new, smaller restrictor plates were supposed to take away enough horsepower to keep the cars from going airborne like Carl Edwards did in the spring race.  Well, the cars slowed down, but Ryan Newman still flipped.

  I haven’t been to an AYCE buffet in a long time, but I wonder if Golden Corral’s bottom line has increased as much as their customer’s waistlines during these difficult times.
