Normally when that happens, I talk about politics but I've sort of lost interest in that other than making fun of other people (I don't think that will ever wear out). I've done stuff but it has just been normal stuff. I was out ... http://www.lancehaun.com/blog/2008/07/17/no-updates-for-two-weeks-no-problem/ So last weekend, I was in Vegas Thu-Sun. This weekend, I am in Walla Walla Thu-Sun. Our cat really hates us right now. It has been quite busy. Summer usually is anyway but this one seems to be flying by. We have stuff going on all of the time and our schedule is ... http://www.lancehaun.com/blog/2008/07/02/in-and-out-all-of-the-time/ This is actually news. If you knew my distaste for beer for the past five years, you'd be surprised. And while I am still moving into IPA's and Stouts and stuff like that, I have been enjoying some of the lighter brews of Portland more frequently. I am afraid that ... http://www.lancehaun.com/blog/2008/06/30/i-like-beer/ I don't know why this song is stuck in my head but I've got to ask a question. Which one of these is the most sad/outrageous/"signs our country is going down the crapper": There is a genuine question of whether or not Obama would turn into this cult of personality figure as ... http://www.lancehaun.com/blog/2008/06/30/cults-of-personality/ I think when it comes down to it, Senator Obama is going to be elected president in November.

There has obviously been a swing to a left and for better or worse, it is what we are going to be ... http://www.lancehaun.com/blog/2008/06/17/more-annoying-than-anything/ At this moment, the hit song from Disney's The Lion King ("Circle of Life" by Elton John) is stuck in my head and will not get out. Stop the pain and the suffering! http://www.lancehaun.com/blog/2008/06/16/stuck-in-my-head/ So last night, I went to the high school graduation of my cousin. I was feeling cocky about my ability to predict the future so I bet Jen five dollars that they wouldn't play "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)," the most overplayed graduation song in recent memory. The song ... http://www.lancehaun.com/blog/2008/06/12/graduation-songs-from-19-years-ago/ Obama is talking another one time rebate to boost the economy. In a word: no. In more than one word: we don't need it. Just like we don't need a gas tax holiday Sen. McCain. All of these one time, unfocused, short-lived tax relief plans lack a lot of things but the biggest ... http://www.lancehaun.com/blog/2008/06/09/we-dont-need-another-one-time-rebate/ ...In Houston. No joke. KTRH is going to be calling me at 6:50 am CDT (that would be 4:50 am Pacific) to talk to me about employers reducing their work weeks to four days to help save their employees gas costs. I guess I didn't think this had any traction until ... http://www.lancehaun.com/blog/2008/05/29/i-am-going-to-be-interviewed-on-the-radio-tomorrow/ Prickish, Uppity and Purist Fans Oh no! How dare we call baseball boring! Stating the obvious is Just. So. Wrong.
