  • Water bottle cap comparison
    So, why is it that a half-pint bottle of Zephyrhills water has a bigger cap than the pint-size bottle? To me, there is no logical explanation. Looks like a waste of plastic, if you ask me. Take a look at the photos and you be the judge. Water bottle cap comparison is a post from: [...]Water bottle cap comparison is a post from: Updates Copyright 2010 Tony Va […]

  • The "Walk Away" House Abandonment Myth
    I had a talk today with a friend who abandoned a rental property last year after he lost a renter and was unable to find a replacement. Here is what I learned from the conversation: he just got a 1099-A from the bank. This is good, right? […]

Wikileaks: Loose Lips Equal Website Hits

So here are my thoughts on Wikileaks, the website that revealed classified information about the Afghanistan war, and related topics: - Loose lips sink ships - However, republic’s like ours need information so that the populace can make informed voting decisions So you have a pseudo-paradox of sorts. At the end of the day the [Continue]

Who Funds The Foundation for a Better Life?

I decided to look up The Foundation for a Better Life, as their PSA commercials play all the time on the radio. I just wanted to know who is behind the organization and what’s it about. I figured it was a government thing. Well, in searching for this info, I ended up on an Internet [Continue]

Shirley Sherrod: SUPERHERO

I’ve been under a rock this week, but occasionally I heard snippets and talk of Shirley Sherrod being fired from the USDA for saying that she refused to help a white farmer. As the week went on, I then heard that Andrew Breitbart edited a speech she gave before the NAACP to make it sound [Continue]

Michael Savage Interviews Laura Ingraham

Well, before Talk Radio Network pulls this down, I figured I’d share the talk radio crossover event of the month, Michael Savage interviewing Laura Ingraham: Now, they’re both TRN employees, so I’m not surprised this has happened. Laura Ingraham is the only national conservative talk radio host to actually discuss Michael Savage [Continue]

Anyone Buying Overton Window or Obama Diaries?

In a video inspired by the A Day In The Life project, Tony Vahl decided to go to a bookstore and observe whether anyone was really buying books written by conservative talk show hosts or not. Since he lives in Smallville, USA, you’d figure the answer would be yes, right? Watch the video to see [Continue]

Deflation

Deflation

Just thought I’d share this photo proving that deflation is happening, in this case at the gas pump. Quite frankly I am glad that inflation has not hit, and I love deflation. It costs less to fill up the tank of my car with fuel. It’s great. Don’t believe the lie. Deflation is good. On [Continue]

Black Panther “Cracker Baby” Race War Hype

Tony Vahl basically called out Talk Radio for falling into the Race War Hype trap on the above DailySkew Video Podcast. In this video, you might also see Vahl’s dog break his leash! Unfortunately, the video ends abruptly due to the failings of his Blackberry Bold (memory issues, back again). Here’s part II, which also [Continue]

Mash-ups legitimized

I met up with my pal G.A.V. for lunch yesterday. He started telling me about DJ Earworm, a mash-up artist. Here’s a couple of examples of what he does. First, a mash-up of the 2009 Billboard top 25: Second, an Annie Lennox mash-up commissioned by Annie herself: We talked about the original mash-up controversy, The [Continue]

Robert Byrd vs. Strom Thurmond: FIGHT!

I did an article years ago about looking for original ideas to write about. Basically, it seemed like if I came up with what I thought was an original idea, I would invariably find someone else had already done it when I searched the web. Well, today was no different as I thought about the [Continue]

US Poet Laureate – NO; Smartphones – YES

Just sharing some random thoughts: - Do we really need a U.S. Poet Laureate? $35,000 yearly stipend plus $5,000 travelling money? Seriously? I love poetry. I love writing poems and lyrics for songs, but, dang. I don’t expect anyone to pay me for my poems! It’s a total no-profit exercise, unless you KNOW somebody. - [Continue]

    TRS training was INCREDIBLE. I’ve never been more thoroughly trained in my life. Seriously — Neptune Atlantis University, where I graduated, didn’t have this level of detail in their PDF’s or holo courses. My mind was CRAMMED, ever so effectively, with TRS procedures, history of TRS, how TRS helps UCM’s mission, acronyms, acronyms for acronyms, and […]

    Yeah, so my wife keeps wanting to tell me about the book Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (she read it) while I just want to be surprised by the movie (I haven’t read it).
