Thanks to Scott O’Brien for posting about this.

I used to handle the ring announcer chores for the WWF whenever they came to Cedar Rapids and Waterloo, IA in the mid-1980’s. I was a young man then(mid 20’s) and got a kick out of the performers. I was fortunate to make friends with a few of them, and found them to be, for [...]

Anyone who knows me knows I will never root for the Bears or Cubs. My least two favorite teams in all of sports.
But I give the Bears a major thumbs up for cutting Tank Johnson today. The guy thinks he’s above the law, he’s obviously not very smart, and he thoroughly embarrassed an employer who [...]

I see where the catholic church (or more correctly, the vatican) has released a “10 commandments” for driving, rules of the road, if you will.
I’ve got an idea…instead, how about if the church works harder to protect young alter boys from getting molested by pedophile priests and I’ll worry about my own driving. Sound fair?

Here in Kewanee, we’ve just lost our “Murphy USA” gas station, located, like all Murphy stores, on Wal Mart property. At first, I thought it may have been a failure for Wal Mart, which would bring great joy to most of the world. But it turns out that Murphy, starting in May, has begun purchasing the [...]

…the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, for this little gem today:
 White House Defends Cheney
Of course they do. This guy could murder someone in cold blood during a press conference, and the rest of “the White House” would defend him and say he didn’t do it.
In this case, he didn’t murder anyone, or even shoot  anybody in the face, [...]

They just ought to erect a scoreboard and hang it from the Murray Baker Bridge:

“…well, Biff, as the clock runs out on spring and we head officially into summer this weekend, it looks like 2006 has some work to do to get back in this one.”
“right you are, Cotton, but 2007 sure looks strong and [...]

Here’s what happens when a former player turned best TV analyst in the game bets the best pitcher in baseball that he can’t throw a shutout.

Bert Blyleven will now sport a shaved head. Thanks, Johan, it’s a good look for him!

The Cubs have just sent Michael “Rockhead” Barrett to San Diego for some cash and a backup catcher. Talk about addition by subtraction. Now, they’re just a dumping of Kerry Wood away from another positive move for team chemistry.

On the same edition of Hannity and Colmes that I saw the report about Broward County, they had something called a “Dan Senor” on to discuss Iran.
 ”Dan Senor”, another idiotic chickenhawk who wants to drop everything and bomb Iran right now, and who never himself served, went on and on and on about all the [...]

So the Broward County, FA, Commission, made up of all Democrats, want to force station WIOD in Miami to drop Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity. Guess how they want to do it? WIOD has long been the official hurricane warning station in Miami. It is low on the AM dial (610), and has a powerful signal. That combination [...]

My first reaction to the story about the 25-year old who died on his motorcycle the other night is the sadness I feel for the family who lost a loved one way too young. My second reaction is, upon reading that he was not wearing a helmet, frustration that people can’t get it right, both [...]

Head to Bloomington tomorrow night. I’ve never been much of a fan of football, let alone indoor football, but I do appreciate the skills and physical sacrifices required to play the game. It’s not easy to be a football player. 
I agreed to be the Public Address announcer for the Bloomington Extreme this season first and [...]

Not a lot of talk coming out of Billy and Mouse about the Cubs lately. Let’s check the standings…
Cardinals, 23-29, 2nd place in baseball’s lamest division
Cubs 22-30, 4th place (and only 2.5 games out of last) in baseball’s lamest division, and now fighting each other in the dugout because their overrated “ace” (and tremendously hot [...]
