Everywhere I look, it seems like some important person is endorsing a candidate for the 2008 U.S. presidential election. What is particularly interesting is the supply and demand for Kennedy endorsements on the Democratic side of this contest. The media is going wild over these endorsements in particular. But as usual, my curious and inquiring mind wanted to learn more about the value that endorsements have on political campaigns. What better way to do so than doing what I do best — talking to knowledgeable people?
That being said, I invited two politically active friends — Charles, a supporter of Hillary Clinton, and Brandy, a supporter of Barack Obama — to my office. We all had some wonderful, freshly brewed Folgers’ Coffee, and I started a conversation.

For some of you, it may seem that not much has happened since November 22, 2007, the last time that sauhard.com manufactured a great story about our wonderful world. Why has it been so quiet over the last three weeks? The reason in fact is really simple, and I find it somewhat embarrassing — basically, our janitors went on strike and we couldn’t understand why.
Now, these janitors aren’t the type of janitors you are probably thinking about. When I created this company in August, I planned with the long term in mind. I asked myself, what technology we would be using in a few years? I figured I should invest in computerized, robotic janitors. By then, robotic janitors would probably be able to do everything that human janitors can do today.
Sure enough, the robotic janitors worked fine from August until about three weeks ago. As I painfully learned, they truly are capable of doing everything that human janitors can. That includes not working when they are upset. As a result, our building became too unsanitary to use without violating some health regulation or the other. No employees at work meant no new stories!
To make up for all this, I figure that the least I can do is give you a summary of what has transpired here at sauhard.com over the last three weeks.

Yes folks, it is back now. The laptop which I mentioned in my previous post has returned to my place of residence, in better shape than when it left for Tennessee. I was thinking of interviewing the laptop on its improved health, but that project quickly proved to be impossible.
Nonetheless, be ready soon for some more great stuff. The wait is over… in about a month. The first season is over, and I’m taking a short break.
Hello regular and not-so-regular readers,
It pains me greatly to say that you might not see any posts on here for a couple days. The reason for this is that my laptop — from which I write these posts — is being sent to Memphis, Tennessee for a number of long-overdue repairs. My image-editing software and stuff is on that laptop, so I just feel that without that software on that laptop I cannot provide the same quality in my posts to which you have all become accustomed.
This situation is very temporary, and thus should be resolved like any temporary situation — just wait a couple days and this dreadful situation will soon be a thing of the past. I expect to get the laptop back on Sunday or Monday, and that’s when the regular sauhard.com postings will resume.
Hang in there, friends and foes!
As some may recall, the old name for this un-blog was “Sauhard’s Laugh Zone.” Yet after much careful consideration, I have opted to change the official title to “sauhard.com”, because I felt that the latter name was far sleeker and far more suave.
But it was not an easy decision. I hired three independent, reputable consultants, named Billy, Damien, and Susan, to advise me on whether I should make the move. I asked them to complete a form that consisted of two questions.
- How much do you weigh?
- Do you approve of changing the name of this blog to sauhard.com? (a) Hell yea, (b) Hell no, (c) I don’t give a crap
That first question was mostly to serve as a tiebreaker — the heavier a person was, the greater weight their response would have. It’s either flattery or insult, depending on how you look at it. Anyway, here were the results:
