You’ve read or heard, I’m sure, about some cities looking to ban baggy pants that are so popular with many of the youth today.
Some are opposing the bans because they’re “targeting young black men.” Well, that’s bogus. If for no other reason than because the “young black man” with baggy pants I just saw was [...]

There was a story in the local news this week about a child in the back seat of a pickup that was stolen.
According to the story on WTVM, Dr. Jimmy Johnson was leaving his parents house, had put his 18-month old child in the car seat in the back of his truck, then ran back [...]

Seems there was a little spat in California last week about a Padres game.
Now, me, I don’t normally pay much attention to what goes on in California. I agree with what a fellow told me one time: we need to send in the Marines to get that state back. He told me this in the [...]

This whole Cindy Sheehan coming to town has sparked some angry feelings … on both sides … in the local newspaper.
One thing that keeps coming up again and again by the looneys on the left is “this illegal war.”
Somebody with some sense explain that one to me.
Didn’t the President get authorization from Congress for this? [...]

Saturday morning. A perfect day to sleep late.
But not this Saturday.
Why is that?
Guess who’s coming to town?
Cindy Sheehan.
Read that again.
That piece of garbage, that low-life hero of the Democrats, that attention whore, that …
I couldn’t believe it when I read that Cindy Sheehan is coming to the area. She’s going to be at Fort Benning [...]

No, there’s no Marilyn Monroe … or even a Britney Spears … to offer a song.
But George Walker Bush, the President of the United States, turns 61 today.
Happy birthday, Mr. President.

I read about the new Star Wars stamps the other day.
Apparently, I missed something.
Seems that it’s not just stamps that are taking on a Star Wars look.
They’ve got mailboxes that look like R2D2.
I wasn’t expecting that. Then, I saw one.
Now I know why the cost of postage stamps had to go up. I wonder how [...]

So Jimmy Carter called the Bush administration “the worst in history“???
Jimmy Carter?
Heck, I remember when he was a bad governor. And when he was a bad president.
But the man from Plains has decided that George W. Bush’s foreign policy is bad. So bad, that it’s the worst in history.
Hmmm.
Jimmy Carter and foreign policy?
You know, I [...]

I’ve never been a big fan of Jerry Falwell. Neither have I been a big fan of his critics.
He professed his Christianity. He led many to Christ. That’s a good thing. I dare say that even most of those who don’t believe in Christ … or in the divinity of Christ … would agree that [...]

Driving in downtown Columbus this morning, I noticed something odd.
The homeless seem to have had a bath.
Now, let me first say that I don’t normally drive in Columbus after 9:00 AM. Or not in all areas.
I work in the downtown area, as does the Wife, but our travels are usually limited to a few blocks, [...]
