I hate Rush Limbaugh and if you drive in Ohio I hate you too.
Rush I found myself listening to Rush Limbaugh* on my way to lunch today and I actually agreed with him on something. God help me. Basically, Rush was reporting on a story in which Dell told a bunch of Muslim employees that they couldn't take time off from work to pray. Of course the employees are up in arms and so is some civil liberties group. Excuse me, but you are at work to work, not to pray. Pray at home, at church, at temple, or wherever else appropriate. The place I agreed with Rush is that (God help us) if this was a Judeo-Christian group that was complaining there would be no civil liberties group up in arms. (Of course the religious wacko nutjubs would be, but not other freak shows like the ACLU.) I don't care who you are or what you pray to. It's not for work. Shut up and get on with it. Get a different job or start your own company and work with like minded people. And go out of business because you'll never get anything done.

Anyway, the only reason I had the time to hear this was because more than 3 snowflakes fell in Cleveland last night, so the maximum speed one can travel is 2 miles per hour. One would think that living in a town in a snowy climate, one would learn how to drive properly in such conditions. Nope, the entire population has to piss me off by driving ridiculously and needlessly slow. What should have been a 5 minute round trip took 15 minutes each way. Maybe I should drink less coffee, but I am the most impatient person in the entire world when driving behind an idiot. And Cleveland has no small lack of idiots.

* Not on purpose; my radio was still tuned to 1100 from my morning drive in.

By the way, I hate Al Franken too.

Spring Training 2005
Chief Wahoo Woo-hoo! Finally. Baseball is back. 1pm today Tribe vs. Astros. I'm going to have to dig out the radio again so I can tune in to Dub-Tam and get into the mood.... while staring at the mountain of snow out my window. Ah well. I'll live. My only regret is that powers that be didn't listen to my rantings and ravings and stick Casey Blake out to pasture. At least he's been moved to the outfield where he will hopefully not cause as much damage. If I had to see one more ball roll lazily by him down the third base line, my head would frickin' explode.

Getting Started.
Dumped my ancient version of Greymatter. Haven't blogged in about 1.5 years. Trying again.
Bare with me while I get the layout, styles, and stuff worked out.

I should point out that - to start - I've blatantly ripped off the layout and styles from Jason Clark for this blog. I wanted something to start with and after looking for someone using the same blogware that I am, I stumbled upon his page and proceeded to thieve it. Hopefully soon, I will come up with my own design, ripping off learning from former co-worker and CSS master, Eric Meyer.
