A few things that have been nagging at my cranium lately…

Bad enough the flying experience is awful these days, but now airlines want to keep you in the skies longer to cut costs.

…And if they ever allow cell phone use on planes, count me completely out.

Question: who’s the biggest sleazeball – Madonna or Roger Clemens?

Maybe it’s just me, but this endless weeping and gnashing of teeth by conservative cable and radio talk show hosts like Hugh Hewitt and Sean Hannity, not to mention bloggers of a similar political stripe over Jeremiah Wright’s overheated rhetoric smacks of racism to me. These priviliged white breads have never walked in the latter’s shoes (no matter how fancy those shoes might be) and should therefore stick to what they know from their own caucasian perspective.

Put me down as a new devotee to the Dave Ramsey Show on Fox Business Channel. As someone who has spent too many years drowning in debt and paying the minimum on credit cards, Ramsey is like a breath of fresh air – for him it’s all about getting debt free (house included) and Tracey and I are starting to breathe some of that rarified air. We’ve still got a long way to go, but at least the ship is finally pointed in the right direction.
