Oprah And Mr. Ohh! Driving The World

In 1954 many thousands of school children rolled up their sleeves to get the new polio vaccine. You may ask what it was like? Well, I have no idea, I wasn’t there. The thing is the modern press wasn’t there either. Sure, there were celebrities telling folks to get vaccinated, and newspapers taking pictures, but …

Numbers Don’t Lie But Liars Use Numbers

Think about your pets. You probably think your wombat, Vietnamese pig, or Burmese python is cute, loveable, and loves to talk baby talk. Others might say they’re ugly monsters destroying the yard looking for fungus, that can eat small children. Oh wait. Your more into cats and dogs. Sorry. In this case other folks will …

The Fall And Rise Of The Roman Epstein

I’m not one to laugh at other people’s suffering. Unless that person is stupid enough to send it to Las Angeles California for a ridiculous TV show. If this happens, it’s open season. I’ll laugh at anyone’s pain if they’re going to post it in the national media, in the hopes of making a thousand …

Finally I’ll Find Out Who I Am

Goals are important. I personally have goals to eat a piano and win a Chili Cookoff in Texas. Well not at the same time. Currently there is no access to a piano. I did live in Texas for a while but frankly, never ate the chili. But as I read in one of those Self-Help …

I Will Do Anything For Sports… But I Won’t Do That

Well, October is over. The leaves have changed, and Halloween has come and gone. We can now look forward to, brisk November mornings, delicious Thanksgiving feasts, and a complete lack of baseball. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I don’t like baseball. I love baseball. There’s nothing like the feel of the sun on …

Boy, have I had an eventful week. Also, I have to re-evaluate my opinions about all those conspiracy theorists. There are things going on and I have stumbled upon the greatest among them, so here is my story as best I can remember after the debriefing. If You Want To Hear Me Read This CLICK …

Hey, Am I Wrong? Ok I Am

I have a serious question. Well, not earth shattering, but it feels kind of important to me. I hesitate to ask it, because it might be the eternal stupid question everyone is looking for. Don’t doubt its existence, and don’t try to sweep it under the rug with patient denial. You know you’re doing it. …

Seek To Nurture Your Inner Wierdo

My father was a man of few words. That said, he had the greatest work ethic I have ever seen in anyone, and I’ve met a lot of anyones. I worked twenty years in retail electronics, and frankly, anyone came into my store every day. In those days I could meet six or seven anyones …

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished

Does anybody know the statute of limitations on robbing a bank? I could say I’m asking for a friend, but that would be a lie. You see, I robbed a bank once. Before you start dialing Crime Stoppers looking for the five-thousand-reward, you should know that I didn’t do it on purpose. In point of …
