Ifirst started investing in the Stock Market in April 2000, right before the NASDAQ lost well over half its value. I figured the Utah Jazz were a shoo-in for the NBA Championship in 1998. I thought that Bob Dole was going to be President of the United States. Mitt Romney is doomed. I have the ... Read more

I used to see just about every movie ever released. I especially saw the "Oscar-worthy" ones, so I could look like an artiste with my fellow drama geeks. Now I have five children, and I no longer have the patience to watch movies I don't really like just so I can say I saw them. ... Read more

Solast night, I stay up finishing the Space:1999 DVD down in the basement, and I get to bed some time between 11:30 and midnight. This morning, Mrs. Cornell asks, "Did you have fun playing Guitar Hero III last night?" To which I responded, "I didn't play Guitar Hero III last night," which was true. "Then ... Read more

(No politics today. I don't know anything you don't already know, and neither does anyone else.) Netflix is a wonderful thing. We watched the whole first season of Heroes without having to buy anything, and I decided to take advantage of a hole in my queue to rent the first disc of Space:1999. In case ... Read more

"When will people learn? Democracy doesn't work!" - Homer J. Simpson That bit of unconventional wisdom is the only thing that makes sense after a horrendous New Hampshire Primary. There was no earthly way Hillary could have won tonight. And she won. I don't even get my schadenfreude. And I've got to keep myself from ... Read more

In1997 and 1998, the Utah Jazz broke my heart when they couldn’t close the deal against Michael Jordan and win the NBA Championship. Since then, I’ve come to expect absolutely nothing from the Jazz, and they haven’t disappointed me. I’m trying to do the same thing re: New Hampshire today and let Mitt go, but ... Read more

Ididn't see tonight's Fox News debate, but, by all accounts, Romney nailed it. Frank Luntz's focus group unanimously agreed that Romney won, and all of them came in undecided and left Romney supporters. I want to believe that tonight was enough to quash McCain's momentum and carry Mitt to victory, but if I had to ... Read more

Watchedthe ABC debate, which, as Jim Geraghty at National Review described it, was actually the Romney Piñata Debate. Mitt got it from all sides, whether it was McCain and his snarly "You certainly are the candidate of change" jibe, or Huckabee, after Mitt said the guy was misrepresenting Romney's position, Satan's Brother shot back ...

I'mstill pretty bummed, and I still think Mitt is finished. I also think, though, that it doesn't matter much, as Barack Obama has a one-way, waterslide ticket to the Oval Office. I think anyone Republicans could throw up would beat Hillary. (And if it's Huckabee, yes, it would involve a considerable amount of throwing up.) ... Read more

Thispost's title comes courtesy of my brother-in-law, who wrote this article about Mitt Romney for the San Francisco Chronicle and called tonight to commiserate over Romney's crushing defeat.  And, make no mistake, this is a crushing defeat. After spending millions more dollars than his rivals, Romney ekes out a distant second-place finish to an underfunded, ... Read more
