MILFs vs Cougars

November 30th, 2007 by Chris Snethen · No Comments · My American Life

The meatheads on The Fan have taken to calling the on-again/off-again girlfriend of their producer “The Cougar”. I thought maybe I’d lost out on an inside joke from way back. Maybe she was a Washington State graduate. Turns out there’s a genre of single(?) woman out there called the Cougar. The [...]

Dear Westwood One

November 30th, 2007 by Chris Snethen · No Comments · Media, Sports

There’s a reason people tune into you rather than watch the game.  Maybe they’re out running errands.  Maybe they’re driving home from work.  Maybe they’re at work.  Whatever it is they’re doing, they’re listening to you because they can’t watch the game on TV.  No one, and I mean no one, is turning down the [...]

Well I Hear the Whistle but I Can’t Go

November 30th, 2007 by Chris Snethen · No Comments · Music

In case the video didn’t blow your mind, try this on for size: Jeff “Skunk” Baxter, the bare-chested guitarist on the far right, is now a missile defense consultant.
Of course he is.

Obama The Muslim

November 29th, 2007 by Chris Snethen · No Comments · Politics

The meme thrives as Obama rises in the polls.  When confronted with the truth, or at least asked to defend themselves, the “Obama Is Muslim” crew tend to wither.  You should try it out for yourself.

Till I Get to the Bottom and I See You Again

November 29th, 2007 by Chris Snethen · No Comments · My American Life

I had a little time to kill downtown on Tuesday night, so I ducked into the remodeled Meier and Frank Macy’s to see what they’d done with the place.  I’d only been in the store a few times in my life.  I’d been very unimpressed.  It seemed stuck in some bygone era.  Like one of [...]

I’m Like a Hidden Treasure!

November 29th, 2007 by Chris Snethen · No Comments · My American Life

So says Megan, the female subject of this week’s Date Lab experiment in the Washington Post.
I was glad that he was Christian. But he does things that I don’t do, like dancing and drinking and going to movies.
I’ve got to imagine dating her is like dating Angela from The Office.  Only Angela will let you [...]

Everyone’s New Favorite Referee

November 27th, 2007 by Chris Snethen · No Comments · Sports

Ron Cherry has been lighting up the Interwebs all weekend. I hope we haven’t seen the last of him this season. College football would be well served to advertise his presence should he officiate a bowl game. So long as it doesn’t involve Clemson.

How Best To Preserve Mt St Helens?

November 27th, 2007 by Chris Snethen · No Comments · Politics, Regional

National park or volcanic monument?  On the face, it would seem to be a no brainer, but like most everything else, nothing is as easy as it seems.  If turning it into a national park means less access for sportsmen, then we need to find another option.
