Huckabee and Lungren Host Blogger Conference Calls

Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee and Republican Congressman Dan Lungren (CA-3) each held their own Conference Calls yesterday afternoon. Because I was busy writing a college paper that would make even the most liberal tenured professor cringe (don’t worry, I was only having fun with my education), I missed both of them. I’ll have a more detailed analysis of both Huckabee’s call and Lungren’s challenge to John Boehner tomorrow. Everybody should have been aware of Mike Huckabee’s Blogger C more...

Why Republicans will likely have to cave on the automaker bailout.

Today, Congress reconvened itself in the “lame duck” session to attempt to force through before the 111th Congress the remaining laundry list of bills that Democratic leaders promised during the October campaigning period.

(Not So) Quick Update with a Laugh

I just wanted to eat and I used the "I’ll just start again Sunday" mentality to justify all the junk food. It’s not that big of a deal. I’m just a bit mad at myself for continuing to eat when I wasn’t hungry. I was eating for the pure taste of it. Soft more...

The ultra experience

Last year’s Ultra was my first long distance running event. Besides the fact that I had no idea about the route (especially the uphill sections), I had also not run more than 10-12 kms in training. So it was quite an experience for me. But what was really motivating was the fact there were so [...] more...

Reminder: To The “Hardcore Group” & Future Fast Runners

Henceforth, this speed training will be done on the said days and time on a regular basis. The speed training requires each runner to report in their running attire (leave your Ipods at home!).

the running star

The Running Star is the latest addition to the fleet. She is a Chase Speculaas' Corsair, born for speed and aggressivness.  She is less armored and with less firepower than the Fighting Star but she is much faster and more manouvrable. In terms of permissions the ship does not actually belongs to me but to one of my alts. I chosed to do so partly to be able to have some sailing fun also when I am not logged as Wildstar (after all I have given a naval rank to all my alts ;) ) and partly because more...
