20 Questions

I once went on a job interview that ended so poorly that I blew a kiss to the office building from the sidewalk and said, "Not getting that one."

Having spent the previous hour answering questions like, "Where did you park your car when you moved into the city?" and "Where does your current boss sit in relation to your cubicle?" - I didn't even care too much that I wouldn't get the job.

On a related note, the National Press Club issued this news release today and I think Barack Obama might be blowing a kiss to White House.

And now for something completely different.

Recent news coverage from the campaign trail seems to typecast small-town Pennsylvanians as gun-loving religious zealots – and bitter ones at that.

I don’t know where anyone would get such an idea.

Surely not from my father, who once accidentally shot the family SUV during target practice in the woods in Nanticoke. And not from Nanticoke itself, a town that can’t host a social event unless it makes use of a Church parking lot in some way.

But NO ONE'S BITTER ABOUT THOSE THINGS, that's for sure.

I mean, I may not have known how to operate Microsoft Word until I enrolled in college in 2000, but I once was able to recite the Beatitudes backwards and I can shoot an empty Clorox jug with alarming accuracy. So it’s not like people who grew up in small-town Pennsylvania are deprived or something.

Of course, no one has to apologize for their opinion - but they might consider apologizing for their insult.

And a certain someone else might consider apologizing for this.

Why we should stop selling vitamins.

After the last presidential election, I definitely referred to Ohio as “The Fuckeye State.”

Very mature, I know.

But as it turns out, if I don’t like this year’s results, I can blame vitamins.

TABS Group, a marketing, consulting and research company, released survey results that claim to analyze presidential election voting preferences based on vitamin and supplement purchases.

“These results provide interesting insight into Vitamin and Supplement Users and how their usage patterns can predict and explain voting behavior,” said Kurt Jetta, President of TABS Group.

Yes, really.
