Robert Colavito, 54, had lost almost [...]
Awhile back, we all met Bubba the giant lobster. Well, today we met Bubba’s little brother, Donovan. While only 15 pounds compared to Bubba’s 21 pounds, Donovan is none the less causing quite a stir.
Jeff Grolig ordered a “large lobster” for the tank of his Potomac seafood store three weeks ago, confident he could sell [...]
I haven’t written about the Terri Schiavo matter because I haven’t really been following it. I don’t really know enough about the circumstances of her current situation to know which side is telling the truth. I will say that I have heard a lot of very negative things about Michael Schiavo and his treatment of [...]

Full drink alert in effect!
Yesterday evening, on the way home from work, I got another huge helping of humble pie. In short, I failed to each lunch yesterday and it caused my blood sugar to bottom out while driving home on a very busy freeway. Since I am diabetic, failing to eat lunch is a mortal sin as well [...]
Eric Pfeiffer over at Beltway Buzz has uncovered something that I have suspected for a long, long time:
