That’s right, I’m not calling it Football Mania, I’m calling it Football Madness. I’m amazed at how many sport pundits figure life revolves around football. I actually heard one announcer recently say, quite emphatically, everyone will be watching the Super Bowl on Sunday. Everyone in the nation will be watching the game! Give me a...

The Simpsons are in their 19th season on TV. Now I must admit I pretty much avoided the show for the first 18 seasons. I just couldn’t get into watching a show about a dysfunctional dad picking on his brat son. How in the world was this going to be a good influence on...

It appears as though New York State Governor Eliot Spitzer is still trying to buy favor among the voters. Since he first took office a year ago, the new Democratic Governor likes to throw money around in hopes of having people like him. He needs to do something, polls show he’s at an all...

Another Republican debate was held in Myrtle Beach Thursday night. A quick sound bite from the debate has four of the six candidates dropping the name Ronald Reagan like it was going out of style. What’s up with that? Why is it everyone thinks the only way to win the Republican nomination is to...

It was only a matter of time before Senator Hillary Clinton found some way to pull on the heart-strings of voters. She tried it during the earlier debates when she whimpered — “They’re picking on me because I’m a girl!” It didn’t work though. Many people saw right through the tactic and pretty much...
