One thing that everybody seems to agree on is that we need universal health care in America. All Americans should have health coverage. Nobody should lose their house because they got sick.
We all agree, right? Right?
Okay, good. Now we can get on to a problem that really needs to be addressed.
There are too many [...]

Winter Olympic Fun

By Wink
The Winter Olympics are now over. Did you enjoy them? Did you watch ANY of it?
I did, and am startled to announce my personal conversion: The winter games are more fun than the summer games.
Can’t believe it? I can hardly believe it either. I have always been one (of the many) who trash [...]

Tiger Owes Me an Apology!

Tiger apologized recently. It was broadcast live on TV. This was a really big story.
Whole televised sports hours were dedicated to discussing all aspects of this.
Countless hours of radio programming, even on non-sports stations, have parsed his words and vocal intonations. Newspapers and magazines are swimming in articles about this.
Was he sincere?
Maybe you know [...]

We had a flat tire the other day. Noticed it outside, at work.
Since we are deep in snow (for what seems like three straight months now), I just went to the store and purchased a product that is supposed to fix a flat. I won’t mention the name of the product, but just know [...]

Are you a guy? Did you have a brother? Was he older or younger?
I am a guy, with an older brother.
I don’t know what it is like to have a younger brother because I WAS the younger brother. I am sure I was pretty annoying…. hanging around, saying stupid things, bugging his friends.
He is [...]

As you probably know by now, Tim Tebow has an ad in The Big Game this weekend. He with his mother are discussing the choice that she made not to have an abortion. For some reason this ad is considered controversial. By who, I don’t know.
Often times when a superstar, whether [...]

NFL: Safest Job in The World

By Wink
Formerly fierce Conrad Dobler has paid a terrible price for choosing the NFL as a career. No longer a physical specimen (in the positive sense), today he is 90% disabled, having suffered through numerous operations to repair his battered body. He has had too many surgeries to count, but let us just begin [...]

Language – The Key That Opens the Door to the World
By Ike

There have been hundreds, perhaps thousands of countries in this world, and tens of thousands of languages. There are those that have become remote or extinct, with names unrecognizable by today’s citizens of the world. However, as languages die, new ones are always there [...]

I just found out that someone I know is into numerology. I didn’t know her well enough to know that she was born on the 6th, but I do now.
So the number six means a whole lot to her. She sees six’s in all of her daily life events.
I see six’s too, but [...]
