I do love cities at night but I have aversion to the days with suits, horns, smog, rushing, dust in my eyes, traffic jams, and the ... http://bloglife.com/mike/2007/06/28/mann-does-ny-ny-will-never-be-the-same/ I don’t understand why everyone has a hardon for this girl. I mean what did she really do so bad? A sex tape, smoking pot, drunk driving? Clearly bad stuff, but a saint by Hollywood standards. Now that she is out of jail and has done her time for her crime ... http://bloglife.com/mike/2007/06/28/more-on-paris-j%e2%80%99-aime-paris/ As of June 10, 2007.    Paris deserves the identical treatment as any other criminal who committed the same crimes in California.

And why market forces didn’t put him out of business before now. Or Howard ... http://bloglife.com/mike/2007/04/14/on-imus-situation-2/ Until today I really didn't have much affinity for Apple, other than for Jobs himself. I thought that my coworkers spent too much on their boxes, I didn't like the hype, and I thought the graphics on my PC were just fine anyhow. I have never used a Mac or ... http://bloglife.com/mike/2007/03/27/apple-convergence/ My opinion is that it was a good idea in theory to remove the regime of the Hitler of the Middle East (Saddam). The original correct reasons (not nukes) to go in to Iraq include: -They sponsored terrorists by pledging $25,000 to the families of all Hamas suicide bombers. Bush had ... http://bloglife.com/mike/2007/02/16/eye-rock-and-a-hard-place/ Anna Nicole was once a regular girl. And typical American poverty and family issues mixed with a high demand for strippers led her to become one. Then she was fortunate (or unfortunate) to marry a really rich dude who was about to die. Golddigging and attempting to buy love are also ... http://bloglife.com/mike/2007/02/07/34/ I heard the sound clip of US military pilots who accidentally killed a British soldier on the ground.  They instantly understood from their heart that this was one of their own and therefore immediately began crying, getting sick, and even expecting a jail term.
