Ya know, for the most part I'm pretty easy going. Just ask my wife. Hmmm, maybe not. But today's column is going to be "therapy" for me because there are things in the political world that's really bustin' my chops. Yea, I'm not a real happy camper these days. In fact I'm vexed to the ...
I wanted to talk about Thanksgiving this week. Maybe tell some funny story about me and a turkey or something. But I can't. There's something else that needs to be talked about today. I'll begin with the fact that there are four people in my family. And we are all nestled under one roof. To ...

Halloween is no longer my favorite holiday because I am Halloween. Let me explain. There are three main pillars that Halloween is known for. 1. Costumes. 2. Candy. 3. Horror. Now, let's take this bit by bit, number one. I have the same circumference of a Buick Skylark, so going to the ...

If I am awake before nine in the morning, chances are I haven't been to bed yet. I am an up all night, watching movies at three a.m. type of dude. I know very few morning people. I don't want to know morning people. The simple act of getting up early in the morning just to get a good ...
