Stallion Cornell

I’mtraveling with the fam until Wednesday, so I don’t know how much blogging I’ll be able to squeeze in over the next couple of days, but at least I don’t have to go to my personal trainer until Friday. That, my friends, is a good thing. You know what’s not a good thing? A garage ... Read more

Iwant to blog every day, or at least every weekday, and yet I find myself with nothing earth shattering to offer, and I don't have the time to dredge up a story that I want to record for posterity. So I give you... this. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBsxqQIu_5s&hl=en] ... Read more

Extraordinarilyrough workout this morning. I’m not holding up well, particularly my back. To paraphrase Berkeley Breathed, I don’t think the Schwarzeneggerization of Stallion is meant to be.

And in the meantime, we’re burning through our food supply to make ethanol, driving up both gas and food prices and doing absolutely nothing to ... Read more

What’sthe opposite of green? Because that’s what I want to be. I don’t want to be a sensible, environmentally friendly conservative who wants to go about greening the planet “the right way.” I want to be a slash-and-burn mudhead who wants to replace the ozone layer with cigarette smoke, put motor oil in the water, ...

Carlygot sent home on Idol last night. Brooke and Jason were far worse, but I can’t say I was disappointed. At least we won’t get any more cutaway shots to her Illustrated Man husband. ________ WhiteEyebrows, who is a gentleman and a scholar, weighed in with a pertinent comment he made yesterday re: the Boston ...

Excruciatinglybad television makes for fun blogging. And there was some excruciatingly bad television on Tuesday evening. We start with American Idol’s Andrew Lloyd Webber night, which fell far short of my expectations. To call it “Broadway Night” is a little overstating it, because most of Webber’s stuff is solidly pop. (When they do a Sondheim ... Read more

Note:today is both the Pennsylvania Primary and Earth Day. In celebration, I recommend dousing an effigy of Hillary Clinton with biofuels and setting it ablaze inside a hybrid gas tank. ______ Questions have been raised with regard to my broken back that I mentioned yesterday.
