Baby Boomers, does the term Baby Boomer ever get on your nerves? The baby boom was a long time ago, does the term itself make you feel old.

Andy Warhol said that everyone in the world will eventually get their 15 minutes of fame. If that's true I'm still waiting for mine.

Boomers, did you watch Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live last week? I bet you did, because the ratings were through the roof. I don't really understand what her appearance did for the McCain campaign, but it did get me thinking about what other television appearances political candidates could m...
