 The saying goes that you can fool some of the people some of the time, but Mercer got your wallet at the street corner when he asked you the time.

 Every winter about this time I find the fog clearing and sanity reasserting itself. Each year I resolve that it's never going to happen again, that I'm finally going to get my act together and abandon the follies of my youth. I think this year I'll finally be able to make a positive change because, as I lay passed out in the middle of what I can only hope was corn chowder, I had an epiphany: I realized that I was drinking to escape and what I wanted to escape was the no-fun, puritanical, hypocritical bastards that seemed to crawl out of the woodwork and ruin my holiday fun. |

 With the election safely behind us, and a rational system of divided government in place once again, my thoughts can turn away from a world in which I get paid for my work and toward a world in which there is no chance of getting a check whatsoever. Lucky you. |

Some have confused IRREVERENT with a blog. Well that's not accurate. A blog is a place for boring people to spout off about things nobody in the real world wants to hear. At IRREVERENT, everyone wants to listen to us because we're pretty damn funny in person. Of course if you think we're going to give you our phone number to find out, then you've got another restraining order coming. Unless you're an 18 year old Swedish au pair. Or you have beer. Preferably both. Sometimes you can catch us at one of our many speaking engagements. For example once again I've been asked to return to Ottsamatta University* in order to deliver the commencement address. Since recovering from the debauchery usually takes a few weeks, I thought I'd take the liberty of previewing my comments here. Enjoy. This is not a cheap attempt at a column, well not cheap according to the treasurer of Ottsamatta U. Not so bright for a college guy is he? |

In a day and age full of unmitigated ill-doings, it's nice to see a small, determined, almost under-capitalized company stand up for doing the right thing. I'm talking of course about Google, Inc., the world's favorite scrappy little search engine and non-doer of evil. Well, for a given value of evil. It's a crying shame that earlier this year, the lil' search engine that could found itself under attack for business practices that on the surface appeared greedy, treasonous, and more corrupt than Jack Abramoff's address book.

Since the Angry Gourmet took off with his "auburn haired beauty" to
hang out with the Basques in Spain, three things have happened around
this benighted violation of the web host's terms of use. The
first is that we don't get to stare at the lovely vision that was his
auburn haired beauty, the second is that the level of food provided as
we miss deadline after deadline now consists of Scott's Bean Surprise,
and the third is that the rag reads like The Daily Show meets Brokeback
Mountain. In order to butch this place up a little bit, I've
started introducing you, my fair reader, to the wide world of
sports. Gently at first with our Olympic coverage, and now with
that greatest of American sporting pastimes: the mighty NFL.
