Stallion Cornell

Thursdaynight was Corbin and Cornelius’ first basketball game. If you read the sad-but-true story of their last practice, then you won’t be surprised to learn that the actual game wasn’t all that pretty. The final score was 12-10 – and my boys were on the losing side. My boys do not like to lose. ... Read more

...isbetter than I think the Romney campaign could have hoped for. Rush Limbaugh has spent his entire show praising the speech, and he keeps having to remind people that he's not endorsing any candidate for the primary. Although if he were to endorse someone, I doubt Rush could match the glowing accolades that he ... Read more

Watchedit on TV. Haven't seen the pundit's reactions yet, and I should probably wait to let the thing sink in before I render my own final verdict.  My initial reaction, though, is that he nailed it. He was certainly more passionate and sincere than I've ever seen him, very near tears at a number of ... Read more

Thereis some sinister force in my home that burns out lightbulbs before their time.  Changing poopy diapers never gets fun.  The iSight camera on my Mac doesn't work. This is probably the fifth time I've had to take it in. If I hadn't bought AppleCare, I'd have spent more money on repairs than on the ... Read more

A friend of mine forwarded a link to an article from David Frum at National Review which makes the case that Mitt’s speech is going to cause him a whole lot of problems. Jonah Goldberg, at NRO’s Corner, has received a host of emails from evangelicals who maintain ... Read more

I’mbeginning to think that if Mitt weren’t a Mormon, I probably wouldn’t be as excited about him. Better writers than I have plumbed the depths of CNN’s perfidy in their plant-ridden YouTube debate, which I thought was a disgrace from beginning to end. And I was also deeply disappointed in the performance of all the ... Read more

Severaluncredited elementary school ditties have been with us for generations. Who can forget "My Eyes Have Seen the Glory of the Burning of the School" or "Great Green Gobs of Greasy Grimy Gopher Guts?" But perhaps my personal favorite is this Christmas classic about the Caped Crusader who cuts the cheese: Jingle Bells, Batman smells ... Read more

Mysix-year old boys are on a basketball team. The Sandy City Parks and Recreation department has christened the team the Suns, after the Phoenix Suns, which sent one of the twins into a paroxysm of rage. “I want to be the BYU Cougars!” he shrieked, yet they’re still the Suns. The universe is a harsh, ... Read more
