What Divides Us

(a.k.a. I'll be damn glad when the election is over...)

8 Days.

A slap in the face

Christy and I watched the Vice Presidential debate last night on ABC.

What I Believe

I believe that everyone in this country has the right to have whatever political affiliation you feel closest represents your ideals and no matter what your political stance, you are still 100% American.

I believe that freedom is the second most precious thing in the world.

Two times the charm

As you can see, onemattDOTcom has gone Pink for October.

A funeral indeed

I haven't used this blog as a forum for spouting off about sports in a long time. So as my good friend Kenny Wilcutt says, I'm due.

I witnessed the Funeral in Athens last night as Alabama dismantled the preseason #1-ranked (and #3 currently) Georgia Bulldogs. As Pat …

Skip Caray - RIP

I was probably 7 or 8 years old when I first heard Skip Caray's voice through my TV.
