There is still a certain primal hormone, gene, DNA strand, or whatever you wish to call it in mankind – that’s the generic “mankind” for any woman who might have been insulted – that causes an animalistic, uncouth, violent reaction whenever ‘their’ particular athletic team wins a championship. This behavior is extremely difficult for the [...]

“When I quit smoking back on Jan. 16, 2005, I was using oxygen 24/7. I needed to take breathing treatments every four hours and was watching the clock for the next treatment. I was on 20 different medications, and up until five years prior, I had smoked two packs of cigarettes a day for 40 [...]
Who’s next on the hit list?

Whoever said that politics is an ugly business deserves a medal. It’s ugly because it’s a power game by the mighty to maintain their domination of the weak…I think I read that somewhere but I don’t remember the source. It’s probably the most “no holds barred” game that countries can play. It seems that there [...]
How sad

“It’s a season of love.” Boom, go the bombs outside of a Catholic church. “Love thy neighbor as thyself.” Seven found shot at the breakfast table in Texas. Love, love, love, love, love, and more love…bullshit! We are not a world that loves anymore; we are a world filled with hate. “You’re wrong,” you say? [...]
Who bought Congress?

That the United States Congress must be replaced in 2012 is a given. While it would be possible to list precise reasons why each of the 535 members should be ‘laid off – off to the unemployment line boys and girls – editorial opinion pieces are not allowed to ramble on forever. Since the vast [...]

Something has to change in Division 1 collegiate athletics. This has been the most horrific year that I can remember. Before the football season even began Ohio State asks their head coach, Jim Tressel, to step down for lying and covering up a scandal involving several of his players. Further investigation showed (a) that the [...]
Stop the protests and get to work

I don’t like protests. They will always conjure up a picture in my mind that is ugly and served no purpose. The protest of which I’m speaking occurred in the late sixties. S.I. Hayakawa a semanticist and Professor of English at a California University, was scheduled to speak at Northeastern University in Boston. At that [...]
Sex and money

“Birds do it; bees do it; even educated fleas do it…” and I’m not talking about falling in love. It seems that now we can substitute, “Pols do it; coaches do it; public servants of all kinds do it…” and we’re still not talking about love. Sex has been around for a long, long time. [...]
