I just read that the Illinois senate has voted to impeach Governor Rod Blagojevich for abuse of power. According to the very short AP blurb that was published, 44 out of 59 senators voted for impeachment.
The process isn’t over yet, however, as all the senators must vote one way or the other, and the [...]
Prolific Pulitzer prize-winning writer John Updike passed away today at the age of 76. He had been suffering from lung cancer for a long time, and was in hospice when he died.

Ok, I’m getting kind of tired of making all these posts on my blog only to have a handful of people actually read what I’m writing. So I’m going to make a concerted effort to boost my traffic in the coming weeks. My first goal is to try to double the number of hits I [...]

The car is being auctioned on eBay with a Buy-It-Now price of $1M. As of today, there are 9 bids on the car, and the price [...]
I have just two days left before my huge job interview. This is basically my dream job, the first “real” one that I’ve had in my life that I can be proud of. I’ve done a lot of things to get by, like manning a cash register or operating a machine in a factory, but [...]
