Does anyone else love this commercial?
I’m cranking pages and totally jamming out to this song in my hotel room.
Check out Things Younger Than McCain.

Unbelievable.
The National Toxicology Program says that certain plastic bottles release a chemical called bisphenol, which could cause breast cancer, prostate cancer, and early onset puberty. (see nytimes article)
This is the stuff that goes into baby bottles! Is my 5 month old going to start growing pubic hair?
Put Jack aside for a minute….what about me???
I carry […]
The Vatican recently announced new areas of sinful behavior. (This is not an Onion article…this is for real)
I am so thankful, Jesus, that you’re keeping up with the times, but I’m a little peeved about Your communication style. These new sins were announced FOUR DAYS AGO! For Christ’s sake I had to read about it […]
Jake is about to chip onto the green when a long funeral procession passes by.
He stops in mid swing and bows in prayer.
“We were married 35 years,” Jake says.
I couldn’t be more excited that the Bishop of St. Albans is set to retire on January 7 of next year. The man is hogging my Google fame and I wish he’d be shot….that is, if it wouldn’t generate headlines. I guess I really wish he would just fade into oblivion. Every time the man […]

I started a new project this week. On the second day, my teammates sat me down and told me that I look strikingly like Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.
I’ve never been more insulted in my life. It’s a good thing I’m extremely overpaid, or I would have walked out of the team room and never looked […]
In the last 6 days, I’ve flossed 6 times and worked out 3 times. Congratulate me.
If you’re not using Joe’s Goals to track your New Year’s Resolutions, then you’re stupid and incompetent.
My sister’s co-worker Dane Steele Green needs your vote. Genre Magazine, a gay men’s magazine, is running a competition for “Genre Man Of The Year.”
Dane Steele Green is currently in 6th place overall. He needs your vote.
Why should you vote for him? Here’s a few reasons:
Because my sister says he’s a cool guy.
Because […]
Greta and I are watching Season 3 of Lost. In the past, I have made multiple vows to never watch this show again, but I always come back.
I have to know the secret behind all of these mysteries.
A plane crashes on a deserted island. A mysterious black smoke attacks and kills people. […]
Please join me in congratulating myself on the rollout of my new aStore: Herbietown Tested, Herbietown Approved.
This store is going to change your life, and it’s going to change the world.
You see, you people envy me, and that’s why you’re reading this right now. “How does he do it?” you wonder. That […]
…you will love this.
Apparently this professor of economics at Centro de Estudios Económicos de El Colegio de México read the Ken French Tuck Profit article that I wrote last year, and wasn’t sure what to think. I know enough Spanish to get the gist of his comments, but maybe there’s an underlying level of irony […]
The new American Gladiators is a real disappointment. Are they that worried about steroids? Trust me: the American people are not that concerned about a level playing field in American Gladiator.
Old Gladiators:

I’m “on the beach.” In the elite world of management consulting, that means that I’m not staffed on a project. To most people, this sounds like paradise. I am getting paid to sit at home and watch television.
But it’s not as great as it sounds. After a couple of days of relaxing, I start […]
Last night, around 4 am, I stumbled upon “Can’t We Talk?” by Deborah Tannen. Tannen explains some common differences between the way men and women communicate.
I found myself shaking my head a lot, and laughing.
Excerpt:
Information vs. Feelings.
A cartoon shows a husband opening a newspaper and asking his wife, “Is there anything you’d like […]
I just discovered Joe’s Goals, a website for tracking goals. This is much easier than an Excel spreadsheet, because it can be updated from any computer.
There is now a widget displayed on Herbietown, so all of my loyal readers will know exactly how many times I’ve flossed in the past 7 days. Each […]
