there are a number of reasons i don’t like tim tebow and he seems intent to keep providing more.

as i’m sure you know, this sunday, during the superbowl tim and his mother will appear in a commercial sponsored by the hate group “focus on the family” discussing abortion. i’m don’t know what is in their ad, but i’m pretty certain it will be critical of a woman’s right to choose. tim defended this decision with the following:

“some people won’t agree with it, but i think they can at least respect that i stand up for what i believe.”

actually not timbow – standing up for what you believe means you won’t be getting an abortion.

airing this commercial during the superbowl constitutes preaching to the rest of us. you are certainly welcome to do it, and i am actually glad you are, but at least call it what it is.

and if the game were standing up for what you believe in, stand up and demand the opponent be allowed to take the field, or at least admit you are just being pimped for ratings by cbs…

a couple of things logan has said recently have me concerned she may be planning on eating her parents.

first, she keeps asking if she can stay in our house forever, but wants to know when natalie and i will be leaving…

also, she keeps reminding us that even if little kids do something really bad, people don’t send them to jail…

but she loves at least one person in the family – she recently asked her mom if she had to move in with her husband when she got married. natalie said it was typical and asked who she wanted to live with after she got married, logan responded “ethan”.

before the internet, how do you think people figured out to avoid chasing tigers around on the backs of elephants?

jon stewart hits on my half-sister, she’s at the 1:13 minute mark.

in my experience, the difference between performing home repairs on a new house and old house are this:

old house: ack, i’ll never be able to find a replacement for this, they haven’t made anything like it in fifty plus years…

new house: ack, who knew they could make this out of balsa wood and rubber bands, i hope i never see one of these again…

i’m such a fan boy…

in spite of all my talk of not being interested in an apple pad computer after seeing it, i’m in love and will be incomplete without one…

this is too funny, scott brown’s wife in a music video.

the browns have to be the one of the most narcissistic families on the planet, shocking he got in to politics.

for the past week logan has pretty much stopped calling me papi or dad as she had always before, now i’m matthew.

at first i was put off by this change in designation; then it was kind of cute; now i’m just plain tired of hearing my name the three hundred thousand times a day she says it…

i have never been much of a fan of wallpaper and after having spent half of my sunday taking it down from a bathroom in the house, i like it even less.

this was the first time i’ve ever removed wallpaper and my experience was a bit different than all the how-to articles i read that advocated this potion or that and scoring tools.

for me it was all about water. the more warm water applied, the easier the removal. this is experience i hope to never need again.

its bad enough to live in a country where we elect politicians much the same way we elect a homecoming court (see the male centerfold, senator elect of massachusetts with the broadcast journalist spouse and american idol daughter as the most recent example).

but now the supreme court has given corporations unchecked power to buy political influence from these paper mâché politicians.

so in five to seven years when we have the next financial crisis, as jamie dimond, the ceo of jp morgan says is routine and not representative of corporate malfeasance, which politician he has paid to have elected do you think will be siding for the people and not in jp morgan’s interests.

this has got to be one of the most disgusting evolutions of all time, u.s. obesity trends from the centers for disease control and prevention.

and in just twenty four short years…
