Mitt Romney on Tuesday, commenting on the Justice Department blocking a South Carolina law requiring a photo ID in order to vote:"I find it extraordinary that Eric Holder is, one more time, making a very serious error. The idea that people should not be able to be identified as they vote so that we can know that they are not voting multiple times. I mean, that's the purpose here of course. We don't want people...

Okay, I promised a final four and here it is. Life has been harrowing lately and that is getting in the way of these fun polls. I had proposed a traditional matchup last time, but I think I'll forgo that and have everyone pick their order. Since we have so few voters, if everyone could rank them I will tally the votes accordingly.Halle Berry just may be the most beautiful woman currently in her prime...

After looking at this division, I am making a unilateral decision and completely removing the Roger Moore division from competition. This will be the ultimate battle of new age versus classic. Considering I think I am the only male voter under forty this could be a blood bath, but I think you will all agree it will be quite compelling. Lana Wood and Ursella Andres advance from the Connery division into the Final Four. Two...

Usually, I take great pleasure in downloading these pictures for the polls, but that joy was missing this time around. It occurred to me very quickly that if the Connery division is the SEC of the bond divisions, then the Moore division is the Big Sky. Anyone can pull an upset at any time, but who are we kidding. I think a good four or five from the previous poll are better than what we...

I tried this once before and got a tepid response. I am fair if anything so I decided to allow for a ladies version of the poll. The poll is simple (because there are fewer candidates). Simply put, pick your Bond. I tried to get the pictures as uniform as possible. Feel free to choose a top choice and second choice in case there needs to be a tie breaker.Sean Connery 1961-1967, 71George Lazenby 1969Roger...

Okay, we are having our own version of a NCAA tournament. We will go through one bracket at a time (except for having only three brackets). There is the Sean Connery bracket, Roger Moore bracket, and everyone else bracket. We will take the top winner (and a wild-card) into a final four following the competition. So, the rules are to pick one and then a wild card if you think one is warranted. Pictures were...

We are doing take two in every respect of the word. I am taking what appeared to be the top five (there may be an extra two because the last few were close). I will include two pictures (one tasteful and one not) and some commentary.Erin Andrews of ESPN fame didn't do herself any favors with that 911 call, but she didn't ask for some jackass to take pictures through peep hole either. She does...

It has been entirely too long I know, but I think you will all agree it has been well worth the wait. You know the rules. Everyone gets to choose a top five and then we will go from there. As usual write ins are accepted, but I will have to verify them. The subject today is women in sports media. That's women in sports media for 1000 Alex.Cassidy Hubbarth (ESPN3)Clarissa Thompson (FSN)Mystery GirlHazel Mae...

I've never been a fan of raisins. There's just something about a so-called fruit that is all shriveled up and looks like dead bugs that has never appealed to me.   Over the years, raisins have become analogous with things that I have found annoying. I find it particularly annoying when a situation calls for bold, decisive action ... and in comes Mr. Stay Puft to handle it. You know what I'm talking about. You...

Here are my endorsements for the 2010 general election.(Above--The red is the City of Houston within Harris County, Texas.  In the upper right is Harris County in Texas.)Where possible, I am voting the straight Democratic ticket.In the case of the office of the State Comptroller, I am voting for Green candidate Edward Lindsay. There is no Democrat in this race. If the Green gets 5% in this race, then Greens get automatic ballot access in Texas...
