American’s are so fickle. Suddenly, we are all World Cup fans and consider getting up ungodly early in the morning to watch team USA “battle” Germany normal, when a few weeks ago, half the country couldn’t even tell you we had a soccer team. As soon as they lose, they will all go back into […]
As long as I live, I will never understand Terry Barton. I don’t know what was going through her mind when she started the Hayman Fire, and I can’t begin to speculate on whether she did it accidentally by burning a letter or on purpose for attention; but either way, I hope she pays. In […]
The media has a new bad guy for this week. They have decided to focus our attention on the “demons” at Southwest Airlines. Sure, this new policy is controvercial, but is it really as bad as the journalists want us to believe? No. Basically, Southwest is requiring people who take up two seats to pay […]
Oberlin is a small college town here in Ohio; it is so small in fact, the town’s population has only changed by 4 people in the past ten years. In this small town brews the latest “news tragedy“. There is a retirement community (basically an apartment building for seniors and a people with various debilitating […]
Tomorrow’s the big day. Line up and get ’em while they’re hot. The brand new $.37 stamps go on sale tomorrow, and I know you can’t wait to get your hot little hands on them. The post office expects us to believe this new rate hike has something to do with increased equipment costs due […]
It is no wonder our kids have gone crazy; this world is insane. A seventh grader at a school in Euclid, OH was sent to the principal’s office and ordered to spend several hours in detention for inhaling helium from a balloon. I wouldn’t be writing here if I thought he was just being punished […]
I don’t usually post other people’s gripes, I make them comment on mine, but I happen to really like the person who sent this to me and I agree with her. Plus, I have my own issues with her story… “I have a rant of my own. (We) went to McDonald’s yesterday, and ordered, you […]
Sorry for the lack of posts this past week. I had a house full of guests, so I didn’t get around to writing here. It is amazing how four kids can break your concentration. Allow me a brief moment to congratulate my brother (and a frequent reader here), Vince, on his wedding today. I am […]
The Los Angeles District Attorney’s office is reportedly fuming over Winona Ryder‘s recent attempts to make light of her arrest for shoplifting and possession of Oxycodone. They assert the charges against her are very serious and she doesn’t appear to understand the magnitude of the situation. She recently appeared on the cover of W magazine […]
Sorry, but I have to go back to local politics for a few minutes. The State of Ohio’s Attorney General, Betty Montgomery, unveiled her “New Hope Initiative” yesterday. Cleveland has been selected as the pilot site for this program. Basically, the State of Ohio got a $2.2 million grant from the Justice Department to create […]
