The Paddock Pulse: February 8 Edition
So yesterday was Pressdog's and Charles Dickens' birthday. That's some pretty RARIFIED AIR in terms of writing talent right there. I'm a little sad that the Pulse rolls the day after such a special literary day, but hey, you have to give the masters their due. Then again, you have all of those...
The Paddock Pulse: February 1 Edition
It's February, everyone! And did you know it's Leap Year this year? That means that everyone who was ever born on February 29th gets to have their sadly all-too-rare birthday parties! I've been invited to a few of those parties over the years, but I usually don't go because the skeeve factor is...
The Paddock Pulse: January 25 Edition
So last week I got razed for going light on the snark because of the SOPA/PIPA crap that was going on outside of our little racing world. Some folks got it in their heads that I redacted the snarky comments that usually accompany Paddock Pulse links to get out of doing work. Well, I'm here to tell...
The Paddock Pulse: January 18 Edition
So today is the big SOPA Protest Day, and instead of writing the Paddock Pulse I'm probably supposed to be writing to my congressman imploring him to vote against the bill. What is SOPA? I'd tell you, except that Wikipedia is offline today to protest SOPA, so I don't actually know. It sounds like...
The Paddock Pulse: January 11 Edition
One of the toughest parts of coming back from a holiday break is breaking yourself of the habit of sleeping in late, eating anything you want, and letting your brain turn into some sort of mushy fungus that looks - and thinks - like a giant Portobello mushroom. The intellectual vacuum created by a...
The Paddock Pulse: January 3 Edition
Happy New Year, everyone! It's time to wipe the slate clean and begin a new year filled with optimism and happinOMIGODTHEREARENTENOUGHOVALSANDBARFIELDISANASSANDTHEDW12ISAPIG-- Ack! Sorry, folks, old habits die hard (although those are not necessarily my habits). Anyway, welcome back from the...
The Paddock Pulse: December 21 Edition
So here we are with the last Paddock Pulse of 2011, and let me just say that I'm gonna miss publishing it next week when I... when I... AW WHO AM I KIDDING - I am going to be lying around my house in my pajamas, unshaven, unshowered, and too busy basking in the fact that I haven't moved in FOUR...
The Paddock Pulse: December 14 Edition
I drank some egg nog earlier this week, and while I was reclining back, basking in the savory aftertaste and massive stomach cramps, I thought to myself - "I really am lucky." Why? Because every week I get to read great stuff in the IndyCar blogosphere and share it with YOU via our Paddock...
The Paddock Pulse: December 7 Edition
I was going to go on and on about today being Pearl Harbor Day, and how appropriate the phrase "A day which will live in infamy..." was to describe another issue of the Paddock Pulse. Then I remembered that Pearl Harbor happened 70 years ago and that the 18-34 demographic that SBN so desperately...
The Paddock Pulse: November 30 Edition
It's the last day of November today, but considering that my local adult contemporary station started playing 24/7 Christmas music IN OCTOBER, it feels like it's been December for years. Of course, it's hard for me to judge because I live in Arizona, and we basically have two seasons here -...
