The Fearless Blogger

Happy Thanksgiving!

This year marks a first for the Fearless Blogger – preparing Thanksgiving dinner!

Since I can’t work my tofurky magic sitting here blogging, I’m relying on my muppet friends to host my online holiday celebration.

Sarah extolls the virtues of running (from runnersworld.com)

Here’s the deal: I want to share this video with you, but it’s late and I’m tired.

Frankly, I don’t know if I’ll be able to stay awake long enough to provide some example to substantiate this post’s title.

I know, I know – people can’t just go around making bold assertions – blanket generalizations – without providing evidence to back them up. It’s just not done! No one’s going to buy into empty cliches.

No amount of winks and catch-phrases can distract people from the absence of verifiable facts.

I get it – generic and vague isn’t good enough. People need specifics. I’ll try to find you some and I’ll bring them to you.

In the meantime, check out this video of Sarah Palin fans sharing the reasons they support her.

What’s that?

Without a single example to support my accusation, do I actually expect people to take this post seriously?

You betcha.

On November 20, 2009, at a Borders bookstore in Columbus, Ohio, Sarah Palin held a book signing event in support of “Going Rogue”. Palin’s supporters wanted her to run for the presidency, but they weren’t exactly sure what she’d do as president. Short on specifics, most of them were uncertain what her policy positions are. They just felt that they liked her. She’s “real”. And that the solution to all of our country’s problems—health care, energy, the deficit, unemployment, and the economy—was to cut taxes and lower spending, and Palin, they said, would solve them by doing just that.

This NEW LEFT MEDIA film was produced and edited by Chase Whiteside (interviews) and Erick Stoll (camera).

This post goes out to all the Neil Young/Fresh Prince fans out there.

Well – Jimmy Fallon as Neil Young, that is.  But it’s a cool cover nonetheless! And maybe one day?

Many people comment on AD/HD in their daily lives on Twitter. Some accept it; some deny it. Some mock it; some praise it.

By embedding a live stream of tweets referencing ADHD into a recent blog post, A Splintered Mind blogger Douglas Cootey uses the thousands of voices on Twitter to give us a glimpse “of what real people think about the subject”.

A picture may be worth a thousand words, one could also say that the words of thousands can paint a powerful picture.

I was trying to think of a blog post topic that would give me a good excuse to share this photo of little Jazz (my nephew).

It occurred to me that whenever I find something that puts a smile on my face, I like to include it here, so I can share the smile with you.

Well, looking at this picture, I can’t help but smile ear-to-ear. I hope it puts a grin on your face too!

(I think that’s as good enough of an excuse for a blog post as any – don’t you?)

Happy belated Halloween!  May the force be with you!!
