A rough weekend got rougher. Got sick this weekend. Must have been something I ate. Sick Saturday, sicker Sunday, and began feeling better Monday. Then the house fire. Oh, not our house. But a family member who lives across the street. The Wife’s sister, her husband, and their two children cam...

Illegal immigration is a controversial topic. Though it shouldn’t be. I’m in favor of immigration. Heck, my ancestors came to this country … before it was a country. They were immigrants. Hundreds of years ago, to be sure, but immigrants, nonetheless. Same for everyone who calls th...

There’s not much I can add to this. The picture sort of says it all. This is a real photograph from the Columbus Public Library. Photo by Brian Bolton. Used with permission The thing is, I’m not sure the folks at the library were actually wrong. Many people seem to worship their computer...

The Wife and I carpool most of the time. We work just a few blocks apart and our schedules are usually in sync. So, it makes sense to ride together. Friday afternoon, I left work, drove over to where she works, and called when I got there. No answer. Called her desk phone. No answer. So, I decided t...

We mentioned the other day that monkeys are now off-limits for humor. We pointed out that the left compared President Bush to a chimp often. But, after that cartoon in the New York Post, it seems that monkeys are now off-limits for humor. Because it’s offensive. And racist. Even when no racial...

I like movies. Not all movies. But some. Or a lot. I guess it depends on how much “a lot” is. I’ve always enjoyed going to the movies. I never wanted to be in the movies. And won’t. But watching a good movie is … better than good. It’s great. When I was just out o...

During this recent presidential election … and since … many of us on the Right have concluded that the mainstream media (MSM) get .. the best word to describe it is “orgasmic” … over Barack Obama. An Obamagasm, if you will. One of the most famous examples is the tingly ...

Any other business? Mr. Chairman, I have one final item. The chair recognizes Howard Atkins. Dick, it’s no secret that we’re hurting… You can say that again. Damn, Bob, you’re someone to talk. As I was saying, we’re hurting. A year ago, our stock was over $33 a share. A...
