There is a lot of violence in the world, a lot of physical assault and murder, and a lot of hateful abuse.
Many times folks on the left treat a statement like that as a picture of something far away, something going on in countries ruined by imperialism and corporate rapaciousness and other sinister institutional evils. […]

It took a small item in my January 28, 2008 issue of Business Week magazine to do it but I finally really get where John Edwards was coming from in his approach to economic issues affecting the middle class. There is nothing automatically shocking, I suppose, about the British being more affluent now than we […]

I am so excited, I can hardly contain myself. Today, is Super Bowl Sunday; the day when all the most funny commercials premiere on television! I can’t wait to watch them.

That’s right: The half-time show!
There’s supposed to be a game or something going on, but […]

I know that I said, yesterday, that I am sick to death of politics. No…no, that wasn’t a lie.
You see, the thing is, the main reason I put together this round-up, these days, is not so much for my own pleasure (narcissist, though I may be), but to give SSG Dizzy (currently serving his third […]

It’s still January and yet, I am sick to death of politics.
Sadly, the primary wars are just like major car wrecks: you can’t help but stop and take a quick peek, no matter how gruesome the carnage may be.
The same can be said for my penchant for watching bad musical movies. And it’s not […]

My internet connection was down on Sunday evening/Monday morning, so I was unable to get out my round-up in a timely manner.
But, I’m back and ready to go despite the busy, yet, hugely successful weekend that just ended (Dizzy plus one microphone plus 400 people = &%$# awesome!). Too bad it wasn’t a political rally […]

Stepping aside from the clash during last night’s debate, I’ve been thinking about the statement above from Hillary Clinton in her closing argument in the debate. American’s are struggling in this ever tumbling economy just to get by. […]

Thursday, Thursday, Thursday! My favorite day of the week. I get to be the center of attention. I get to sing all night. I get entertained by sobriety-challenged singers. AND…I get paid for the privilege! Yes, I have a semi-charmed life.
Just to give you an idea of what I […]

Wednesday? Wednesday! Yes! We are so close to the weekend now, I can almost taste it!
Did you guys catch the Democratic debate in Nevada, last night? I missed it, but I wonder, did it look anything like this: ダンボールの攻防: Attack and Defense?
My big news involves yours truly, my chosen political party, a podium, and a […]
