We went shopping for new work pants this weekend and I bought some Dockers. Now I must say that my sole reason for buying Dockers is their advertising. That said, they are actually Nice Pants.
The telling thing about a pair of good pants is the zipper. Cheap pants have bad zippers, they jam, stick, don’t move smoothly. A good zipper, to me, equals quality.
My Dockers? Great zipper. 
As hard as I try, it’s impossible for me not to become political during a presidential election year.
What does everyone think of the candidates? I’m not very excited about Obama and really don’t like the McCain campaign.
I was and still am a Hillary supporter. Biden did nothing for me, I don’t know what I was supposed to think about him being selected… I was really hoping Obama would chose Hillary for his running mate. I gave McCain about two seconds of consideration when he added Palin to his ticket. I truly think having a female voice in the White House would be a Good Thing™.
Realistically I will vote straight down the line Democrat as I always do.
Realistically I think McCain is going to win no matter when Obama does.
Realistically I am pretty jaded and apathetic about the whole thing.

That said, articles like these still make me sick.
]]>Looking at less expensive options I’ve found the NordicTrack Elliptical ASR 630, and the NordicTrack Commercial Elliptical 1300. They cost a respective $499, and $799.
I like the ASR 630 a lot, it has some nice iPod integration and really seems like a great buy, but its reviews seem pretty mixed. The Elliptical 1300 seems pretty straightforward and while it lacks features it looks pretty sturdy and built to last.
Does anyone have any experience with any of these fitness machines. How about other options? I’m looking for some good low-impact cardio so treadmills are a bit out of the question.
Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

It looks like the Fennec Fox considered the only species of fox which can properly be kept as a pet. I wonder if they’d get along with a Jack Russel Terrier…

In fact, I should be reading right now… instead I’m writing this blog entry. 
She wrote, “Earl W. Worth died Saturday, December 2nd at his home. Services are at The Baptist Church at 3 P.M.”
The employee looked at the form and said, “I’m sorry, ma’am, but obituaries are limited to 7 words apiece. The woman took another form and wrote, “Earl died. ‘57 Chevy truck for sale.”

The interrobang (/ɪn’tɛrəbæŋ/) (‽) is a nonstandard English-language punctuation mark intended to combine the functions of the question mark (also called the interrogative point) and the exclamation mark (known in printers’ jargon as the bang). The typographical character is a superimposition of those two marks. The same effect is also frequently achieved by using both, for example, “How could you do such a thing!?” or “How could you do such a thing?!”
I’ve begun setting up a monthly budget at Mint. Does anyone have any budgeting tips to keep in mind?
I like the idea of monitoring spending in order to lower your monthly bills. This is all so exciting.

Why did Christ sacrifice the chance to have a wife and a family?
How is this considered a good thing?
Isn’t the entirety of modern Christian faith based on the concept of familial values?
