It seems that gatherers and providers of “The News” can be overwhelmed soccer moms or dads too. So, this week, no matter how you went about seeking your information, (newspaper, TV, radio, InterNet, water cooler), you may have found it more challenging to find any. Always ready to be helpful,…
Not one of the more than two dozen Democratic senators, who held an all-night vigil this week to bring awareness to the catastrophic possibilities of global warming, mentioned the obvious parallel between their presentation and the horrific end to planet Krypton. The Kyrptonians, light years ahead of human scientific and…
I don’t know where Jackson County, MO is exactly, (I was going to look it up, but I didn’t want its ruralness, or lack thereof to cloud my perception), but their Spelling Bee ended today after more than 90 rounds and a two-week delay due to the “word givers” running…
I’ve been trying to find a copy of the Arizona Bill that wacky Jan Brewer just vetoed, but, even though you would think it should be an easily accessible public record, I can’t find it. Instead, I’ve absorbed as much of the reported, satirized, paraphrased and blatantly misrepresented, (both pro…
Among the greatest freedoms, for those of us who are lucky enough to enjoy any, is being able to freely speak one’s mind without fear of legal reprisal.

Leno’s done…again; it rained in California; Sochi hosts the Olympics; and today marks the 50th anniversary of The Beatles first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show. Personally, I have never found Jay Leno to be funny. His delivery, (again, for me), is of the apologetic variety that begs for validation after…
Before I climb onto my high horse and get all snidely about what most Republicans had to say about the SOTU, let me say that this year’s Presidential locker room pep talk will probably not, in and of itself, inspire a high-scoring effort by the unspecific team to which it…
Who can BLOG in weather like this? I was slip-sliding up the walkway last night, doing that hunch-shouldered shivering thing, the tips of my ears burning, my nose dripping across my lips and freezing on my chin and, of course, really, really having to pee. Later, when my bladder was…
If you’re being audited, is that an audition? And, if so, what exactly are you trying out for? Managra Music, Inc. is being audited. Some weasel from the IRS spent a day pouring over three years of my financial history, (at my expense, both for my accountant’s time and his…
