It's a crazy Friday, so let's get right to the Clutter... Of course I support expanding off-shore drilling. I mean, what could go wrong? Brunch at Burger King, man, I'm already drooling. Thank you, Goldman Sachs. We really couldn't have done this without you. As far as baseball goes, the Wall Street Journal does a great job reporting on stocks. The verdict is in in the Odgren case. Our society is at such a loss over how to handle mentally ill youth, and the judicial system doesn't have the slightest idea how to treat these cases. I hope Bret Michaels... Read more →

Happy Thursday, everyone. We all know how much I love my friends at the local DD, but I have to give them one suggestion. The whole shtick of anticipating my order, because I'm a regular, only works if you get it right. I've ordered a medium iced dark roast with milk and sugar every day for the last few weeks. Every time you ask me if I want a hot medium regular, it doesn't exactly make me feel like Norm, you know? Anyway, grab a beverage, and let's clear out some Clutter. I have to admit that I missed the... Read more →

This large head is starting to fill up again. Grab an iced DD with milk and sugar, and let's see if we can get the Clutter back down to reasonable levels. The Red Sox beat the Blue Jays 2-1 last night, and it was a great game. For those of you who need the occasional Sox talking point at work (you know who you are), here's the story: Clay Buchholz was outstanding on a night that the Red Sox really needed him to be. He saved the bullpen and avoided getting into any major jams. The saddest point of the... Read more →

Hi Everyone. It's time for another round of randomness, so grab your beverage of choice (may I suggest a medium DD with milk and sugar?), and let's clear out some Clutter... I think I'm probably missing something here (what else is new), but are actor Randy Quaid and his wife just crazy? They ran out on some bill in 2009, have skipped out on a number of court dates and were all smiles in handcuffs on Monday? What? Breaking News: New study shows bad habits can kill you, so break them. This public service announcement brought to you by Clearing... Read more →

Good evening everyone. Grab a iced DD...wait, it's too late in the evening for coffee. Scratch that. Grab a Sam Adams Summer Ale, and let's clear out some of this Clutter. Actress Scarlett Johansson speaks the truth. Women have curves, and that should be applauded. Granted, the woman is probably a size zero, but the point's still the same. The Party of No can't wait to block debate on financial regulation reform. It's been so long since they had the opportunity to press the red button, I imagine some of them are starting to get the shakes. President Bush's autobiography... Read more →

Good morning, campers. Rise and shine! Grab yourself a DD, and let's get right to the Clutter.. The Catholic Church isn't the only organization with a child sex abuse problem. Just a reminder that Hamlet airs this week. Yes, that's me, always wanting to make sure others are able to enjoy the arts. I'm very thoughtful that way. Singer Bret Michaels remains hospitalized in critical condition as conflicting reports swirl. Of course The Donald managed to work his way into this story. A Boston legend hangs them up. Red Sox fans need to relax. Management recognizes the issues facing the... Read more →

Good afternoon, everyone. Happy Saturday to you all. I hope you've got a DD handy, cause we've got Clutter to clear. What a crazy and ugly Sox game last night! You can read all of the details here, but the three things I want to point out are, 1) Big Papi hit his first home run of the year, and he did it a month earlier than his first one last year! Hopefully that will get him to relax a bit. 2) Bill Hall finally gave me a reason to like him when he made a great throw in the... Read more →

Hi folks, Sorry to miss you yesterday. Every once in a while, real life gets in the way of the important stuff, like writing this blog. The flip side is that it gives me even more Clutter to clear, so I guess there's an upside. Grab a beverage, perhaps a medium iced dark roast DD with milk and sugar, and let's do some clearing. Ben Roethlisberger suspended for 4-6 games next season. Senator John Ensign is a fund-raising machine. Senator Brown for President in 2016? I'm having a hard time understanding the difference between the Facebook poll asking if President... Read more →

Happy Wednesday, everyone. I just went through an extended sneezing fit, so perhaps I need a new round of Tylenol Allergy to go with my medium dark roast iced DD with milk and sugar? Yum, the breakfast of champions. Let's clear out some Clutter. What a crazy Red Sox game last night. First, it looked like it was going to be another blow-out loss, second in the pinch-hit heard round the world, Terry Francona pulled the trigger and swapped Mike Lowell in for Big Papi. Finally, Darrell McDonald (who according to Peter Abraham at the Boston Globe, arrived at the... Read more →

Happy April 20th, everyone. This month is going by seriously quickly. How can I slow it down a bit? In any case, grab a medium DD dark roast iced coffee, with milk and sugar, and join me for a little Clutter. Let's see if we can't just mellow out a bit. Goldberg was eliminated from "The Celebrity Apprentice?" That's an outrage! I want to see Goldberg vs. Cindy Lauper as the main event of next year's Wrestlemania. MSNBC has a documentary on Timothy McVeigh. US Supreme Court to hear a case on texting privacy. I'm going to predict a 5-4... Read more →
