GEORGE ROOT: Some good ideas

I notice things when I am out and about. The wife and I went to Applebee’s last week, and while we were there, we got to hear the waiters and waitresses singing “Happy Birthday” to some poor, unsuspecting victim on the other side of the room.....more>>

  • GEORGE ROOT: Running with the ball
    This recession was a bad one. Probably the worst I can remember. Everyone I know, including myself, was affected by it in some way.
  • GEORGE ROOT: Give the guy a chance
    I read in the papers that even though the stock market is on the rise, we will be recovering from this recession for at least another four years. That is a long time to recover from anything.
  • GEORGE ROOT: Random thoughts from Root
    Normally when I do these random thoughts things, it is because I have no other ideas for the week, but this week it is different. There are many different things going on that I want to comment on, and this seems to me to be the best way to do it.
  •  GEORGE ROOT: Sick of attention-mongers
    Octomom made me pretty sick. She has 14 kids now, and she admittedly had a litter of eight this year to try and get her own reality television show. Of course, television can be partially to blame.
  • GEORGE ROOT: Oh say, can you see?
    President Obama has won the Nobel Peace Prize. I think this is a classic example of how the rest of the world will take their shots at the United States whenever given the chance. Obama is accepting the award in the hopes that people will see the positive value of change and help to bring peace to the world.
  • GEORGE ROOT: A 2009 report card
    Get your lists together now because there are only 78 shopping days until Christmas. That’s right, I said it, Christmas. I cannot believe it is October already. It seems like just yesterday I was wondering how 2009 would treat me, considering that 2008 was actually not that bad.
  •  GEORGE ROOT: Cult of Personality
    Let me introduce you to the meaning of “a cult of personality.” Yes, it is a kicking rock song by an awesome band, but it is also a phrase that has been around for a very long time. When a political leader lavishes praise on the people and gets them to do the leader’s will by making outlandish promises and associating the success of the country with the peoples’ belief in the leader, then you have a cult of personality.
  • GEORGE ROOT: Holiday habits
    I started a diet immediately after my doctor’s appointment last week, mostly because the appointment included me being weighed. I saw the number and decided that was enough.
  • GEORGE ROOT: A loss is a loss
    Jon Gruden said he wanted to run down to the field and kiss Tom Brady.
