Isn’t Life Strange?

I found out this morning on the radio that Gordon Waller, half of the Peter and Gordon duo, passed away a few days ago. I got to see these guys when I visited Epcot in the Spring of 2007. While they lost their polished edge years ago, they were still a joy to watch.

Bend over America. The Looters feel empowered, or they are trying to make a point by being absurd. Either way, this should make EVERY American wake up and realize there is no limit to what they will consider as free game to fund their irresponsible spending.
Under a Senate proposal, Congress would raise the federal […]

We lost another comic great yesterday. Dom DeLuise passed away at age 75.

Do you want to know why so many of us have been so pissed off at the main stream media for so long?

Can you imagine the fake outrage from the left and the media if President Bush made such an insensitive remark?

Honestly - I have nothing against Roland Burris. He has served the state of Illinois for as long as I can remember, in a number of positions which include State Comptroller and Attorney General.

Here’s a collectible you may wish to avoid.
The widely advertised “Obama Presidential Coin Collection,” seen here, is a colossal ripoff.
The coins are nothing but ordinary pocket change with stickers! Video
So in other words, the new “coin” is simply the same old thing we’ve had for years, but it’s covered with cheap […]

With all the announcements of jobs being lost, companies scaling back operations, and some going out of business altogether, it seems to me that most people would be grateful simply to have a job at this time.

Wildlife officials in northern California last week came across one of the biggest Chinook salmon ever found in the state — a monster more than 4 feet long and weighing 85 pounds.
I don’t know why, but monster fish caught in inland waters fascinate me. Read more and see a photo of the […]

How’s this for a feelgood story?
Kristin Pass, an 18-year-old senior with Down syndrome, became Aledo High School’s homecoming queen Friday to a joyous standing ovation and the flutter of a thousand tissues on a remarkable night for an amazing young woman.

How’s this for creativity with a gavel?
URBANA, Ohio - A defendant had a hard time facing the music.
Andrew Vactor was facing a $150 fine for playing rap music too loudly on his car stereo in July. But a judge offered to reduce that to $35 if Vactor spent 20 hours listening to classical music by […]
