Since my vacation to the South this weekend, I’ve been puzzled by a couple of things.
On our drive through Tennessee en route to North Carolina, Samantha and I joked about a number of things; particularly how she may be treated by Southern folk. We...

I fell in love with North Carolina this weekend. Also went to the ocean for a quick dip; I’ve never been to the Atlantic.
I think the ghost of Lincoln sent a couple tornados my way while driving through Tennessee on Friday; perhaps to teach me a ...

I am about to write/say something so shocking, so evil, so un-Springfieldian and I sincerely hope that you, my dear reader, will not think any less of me than you may already think.
I DISLIKE ABRAHAM LINCOLN!
Since my childhood, despite years of education...

God Bless America. Just when one election comes and goes, there is another; and each election is more important than the last and has ramifications for the next. And I didn’t vote because I am still reeling from the last one.
We just got done with...

If there were to ever be a Springfield Blogger Hall of Fame, there is no way Dave, Marie, 30 What, Shoo, Gish, Will or Just 2 Guys would not make it. After reading The Way of the Andy, after reading comments left by him, I would have to say this site is ...

Just finished reading an article at MSNBC entitled “Gunmen in Mass Killings had Permits,” and I take issue with the article.
(Deep breath. Exhale. Kick the cat.)
Now I am sure there are worried citizens out there who are having trouble sle...

I can’t believe it has been 8 months since I left my job at Verizon, but I am back in the game as a sales rep with a different company specializing in telecom/wireless. Yippee!

I’ve never been one to shy away from speaking his mind; and it has landed me, many times, in hot water through the years. I like to write and speak my mind, but there are even lines that I do not cross; not out of “fear” or “polit...

Like many youngsters, I grew up watching the old WWF; but I also was lucky enough to watch the old NWA and its offspring WCW.
After 1997, I could not stand the WWF/WWE product that Vince McMahon produced because of its filth, sleeze, etc. When TNA was cr...

Every season the cynic in me takes a particular delight in following the self-destruction of the Cubs and I laugh at the ability of Cubs fans to find a new scape-goat year after year, all the while proclaiming “Next Year” in a vain hope that t...

Obama is a failure! My five shares of AT&T have fallen $.26 cents/share and my twenty five shares of Qwest have fallen $.02 cents/share. I can’t believe I voted for this guy. He has failed to make my measely shares of stock skyrocket in value...

I’ve been reflecting on an interview I had for an organizer position with a local union last Monday. When I found out today that my “qualifications were outstanding” but “the union had decided to go with somebody else” I rea...

I’ve been in a pretty foul mood today. I lost my job yesterday and found out that I was not good enough for two jobs I applied for last week; a union organizer position and a wireless sales position. I thought I had wowed both my interviewers and ...

A couple weeks ago when the Dow plunged 700 pts., many of the right started to hail the drop as proof that Obama’s economic policies were failing. But I wonder, since the Dow rose almost 500 pts. today (and did well last week), does that mean Obama...

You can only hope it goes away.
Without giving away where I live totally, four years ago I bought a house near North Grand. At first, my neighbors and I did not really get along all too well but our relationship has gotten much better; and that is more t...

Khadija Abdul Qahaar, a Canadian formerly known as Beverly Giesbrecht, is a hostage of the Taliban; and she is pleading for help. I am finding it hard to feel sorry for this woman, and I do not see how her death would be on someone shoulder’s other...

I’m officially no longer a fan of Family Guy; and deep inside, I hope it gets taken off the air for a third time. I enjoyed the first five seasons, but since season six, it seems that Family Guy just took a turn for the worse. It is as though the ...

What are you most afraid of Some people are afraid of the unknown, others are afraid of being exposed. Others are afraid of being irrelevant, while others still are afraid of guilt/remorse. It would be safe to say that, ultimately, everyone is afraid ...

I hate when neo-Conservatives are quick to call for others to go to war, but are quick to find any way possible to avoid fighting those very wars they support.
It also annoys me to no end when liberal leaning individuals feel the need to disparage those w...
