I wonder if he said “This is a Stick-up”?

Usually, when people get naked and hula dance, it’s AFTER the beer, not before (or so I’m told.)  But in Missouri, three men thought it was the perfect way to steal the beer. These three geniuses thought that if one of them did a naked hula dance, the female clerk would be too distracted to notice the [...]

U.S. Americans, South Africa & the Iraq

                    
By now, you have surely heard, or seen, the rather bizarre answer given by Miss Teen South Carolina, Lauren Caitlin Upton in the Miss Teen USA Pageant to the question about why American teens can’t read a map. <if not, check it out here> What you may not know however, is that Miss Upton [...]

Dems to Florida: DROP DEAD.

How quickly we forget. Just under seven years ago, the Democratic Party fought, and screamed, and sued, supposedly to make sure that every vote in Florida was counted. Who can forget the bug-eyed election official, squinting to see the hanging chad on any number of punch card ballots. But now, these same people who were so adamant that [...]

2007 NCAA Preview

                              
Finally, all is right with the world, college football season has arrived. No longer will I have to endure watching ESPN Classics or CSS broadcast stuff like the  1986 Georgia – Clemson game. Here’s a quick preview of what we will have answered over the next few months:
Joe Paterno. Will he coach from the booth or on the sidelines? Will [...]

Another reason to Hate the Yankees…

            
Imagine if Ford, or GM, marketed their cars as being the “perfect vehicle for a drive-by shooting”, almost everyone would be outraged, and with good reason. If you think something like that can’t happen you’re wrong. New Era, the New York Yankees and Major League Baseball are now marketing caps to gang members. These caps [...]

Vermont -Standing Firm for Freedom!

Ah Vermont……that jewel of New England and home to Bernie Sanders, whose sole, enduring contribution to the culinary fabric of the world is Cherry Garcia ice cream, has once again made America proud. The town of Brattleboro- no really, that’s the name-has once again made it legal to be nude in public. Town resident and Selectboard [...]

Michael Dukakis…he’s back…..

                  
Michael Dukakis still doesn’t get it. In a recent interwiew, Dukakis attributes his failure in the 1988 election to being poorly organized and not having enough precinct workers. Even more amazingly, he says a 2008 Democratic defeat would result from another lack of organization and a terrorist explosion, “We’re probably not going to outstrategize them. And some crazy guy will [...]

2008, My Take…

As the first primaries creep ever closer, I am becoming increasingly more concerned over the quality of those seeking to lead our nation.  This seems to be the weakest field of candidates in my lifetime and having seen the likes of John Kerry, Mike Dukakas and George McGovern, that is saying something.
The Democratic Field:  Hillary Clinton- so [...]

The Selective Outrage over Michael Vick.

                                           
So Michael Vick has finally listened to reason and to his attorneys and will enter a guilty plea next week. What a waste. A gifted and talented football player throws it all away because his arrogance led him to believe that his enjoyment of maiming and killing dogs would be of little consequence when compared to his football [...]

What A Croc of ….

          
Who would have thought, that in rural Alabama, banning shoes in school would provoke a fight.  I’ll bet that this sterling mother raises her two “wonderful” kids in such a way,  that society will be supporting them for years to come. I do hope that if the superindentent does choose to fight back, mommy dearest removes the [...]
