If you’re a friend of Miss Courtney Karamanol on facebook, you might wondering why on God’s green Earth is she obsessed with my writing. For the past few weeks, she’s shared my articles and rants on facebook almost immediately after I publish them. This would be the sign of an obsessive stalker if it... »

All of you die-hard Mildly Relevant Thoughts readers (or folks who got here by Googling “Christmas Drinking Games”) have probably been wondering where the Hell I have been. Heck, it’s been like a week since I wrote anything original. Well I’ll tell you where I’ve been. Beautiful Northeast Ohio! Thus far I’ve caught up... »

I couldn’t really blame people for not coming to see a then 2-11 team play a 3-10 team. One could probably find more excitement on C-Span than in a typical Browns... »

If only the picture were true. Courtney departed for New Jersey this morning, starting an un-Godly nine days apart for the world’s most adorable couple (suck it).

Last week I briefly turned into an 85 year old man. Here’s why. Rarely do I receive snail mail anymore. If I do, it’s a card for some sort of occasion or a magazine subscription. Last week, however, an IRS warning snuck its nasty head into my pile of mail. Apparently I owe them... »

Most of you who know me know I’m a bit of a Charlie Chaplin nut. The video below comes at the end of of his first talkie, The Great Dictator. The Jewish Barber gets mistaken for the Dictator of Tomania, Hynkel, and we see the Barber (essentially Chaplin) address the world in one of... »

As the video says, the House Subcommittee recently approved a bill that would force college football to have a playoff instead of the current BCS system. I’m no fan of the BCS, but it sounds like Congress doesn’t have their priorities in order. Here’s a list of your elected football fans: Sponsor: Rep Barton,... »
