Unless you are anti-American, a prisoner in solitary confinement, Satan himself, or have the sensory abilities of the late Helen Keller (God rest her soul), there is no excuse to not fill out an NCAA Tournament bracket, or 9, this year. I don’t even care if you’re SO busy with work and kids and [...] Continue Reading…

We’ve all seen the bumper stickers. They pop up after every election. “Don’t blame me, I voted for ‘the other guy.’” In this case, of course, the “other guy” is John McCain (with respect to the delusional members of the Green Party, the Ron Paul bots, Ralph Nader’s folks, et al). Now, although [...] Continue Reading…

Here’s a little riddle for ya: What does a steaming pile of fresh dog poo and the new economic stimulus package passed by Congress have in common? Give up? It’s a trick question; they are one and the same! Ok, ok, so I sacrificed a little cleverness to make a point. Sue me! The [...] Continue Reading…

Ever wish you could just turn off your cell phone, unplug your computer, throw out your TV? Well, first of all…you can. No one is forcing you to fiddle around on your iPhone all day. To answer the question, though…sure, sometimes; I think we all wish we could disconnect ourselves occasionally and just be. [...] Continue Reading…

I know, I know, I probably just lost the interest of half my male readers right there. Here’s the thing, though, while I feel confident in my knowledge of basketball, you [...] Continue Reading…

Preface: Before, during, and even after the election of Barack Obama, I have been less than glowing in my remarks about him on this website (and elsewhere too, for that matter). I don’t need to rehash all my reasons why (that’s why I have an archives page), but I did want to take a [...] Continue Reading…

It was a quick remark, and one that seemed insignificant at the time. It flowed effortlessly off of George Bush’s tongue…as all words do. When asked what he would do the day after relinquishing the White House to Barack Obama, Bush commented simply that he would “make Laura a cup of coffee.”

It didn’t hit [...] Continue Reading…

As you may (or may not…and that’s ok) know, the first hundred days of a new President’s term are highly scrutinized and believed to be tone setting for the next four to eight years. Therefore, most new Presidents like to come out of the gate roaring. They typically set extremely ambitious legislative goals, and [...] Continue Reading…

It’s been over 6 years now since I’ve graduated from college (I know, I know, I’m an old geezer). It’s funny, as recent as maybe two years ago, I still mentally considered myself college age…whatever that means. Young at heart, I guess, right? Anyway, looking at college kids now, they look like, well…kids. It [...] Continue Reading…

Let me just get this out of the way right now in case the title above has already left your taste buds somewhat curious. I’m not about to introduce for Mickey D’s some kind of Chicken McNugget/Club Sandwich. Give it time people. Eventually we’ll probably all get to experience a dish, much like KFC’s [...] Continue Reading…
