The past two weeks have found me sifting through mountains of political ads and movie Western clips to try and find some semblance of a common thread. This week is the American Association of Political Consultants Pollie Awards fiesta. The Pollies award good campaigns and RedEye has been charged with showcasing the video spots in […]
Hello all! And to residents of Alaska, Georgia, Idaho, Massachusetts, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Vermont, and Virginia – happy Super Tuesday! Residents of those states can be sure to see plenty of ads today telling them why one candidate is better than another or why one candidate is just a downright threat to liberty […]

My 1st blog! Yay! OK, the reason why I am finally writing one is because I enjoy reading them and I have something to share. I feel like I am from a bygone era. I am no Jane Austen but I love her and period dramas of any sort. Ok, the Jane Austen, Emily […]
One of the great things about being in a city is the myriad restaurants and cuisines that are so readily available. I love to cook and eat and though I am no Anthony Bourdain of Food Network’s No Reservations fame, I am happy to sample frog legs or olive oil ice cream. My three roommates and I […]
