It's Not Just the Swedes or Orientals. The Mexicans are Jumping in

It seems we're taking a little news tour around the world, doesn't it? Hey, I don't find this stuff; it comes to me (Not like in a voice from God, but it comes to me). Mexican officials have their hand full nowadays. Mexico City has seen a crime wave involving bogus Mariachi bands. Go ahead, re-read... Sign in to see full entry.

Is It that Crime Does't Pay, or Criminals Can't Do Math?

Before I start: Yes, I really spent time crunching the numbers on this. It's an illness or a sign that I may be thinking about switching careers. Entrepreneurs always look for opportunities. An article appeared yesterday about an extensive FBI sting that netted 16 people on assorted charges related... Sign in to see full entry.

Newlyweds' Antics Lead to Lawsuit: Good thing they didn't get comp coffee

Okay, my posts have been a bit heavy, to I'm going to lighten it up. This is a short one, but seriously, there's not much more to say on it. A couple honeymooning in Shaghai is suing the hotel they stayed in. It seems the couple was running around the room. I'm guessing they were acting out a scene... Sign in to see full entry.

Study Proves the Nature of Murderers...Sure

I'm trying not to go nuts on this one, and I'm not having much luck. That's pretty ironic give the gist of this post. A Swedish study just published proclaims that 90 percent of murderers are mentally ill. I'm not nuts about this. I'm pissed beyond reason. Let's take this at face value. The study...

This is Greater than Sliced Bread! I've said this many times over the

years, but as with the phrase, "the best thing that ever happened to me," I was probably stretching a bit when I said it. In a political/pop culture I'm in, a guy asked this great question. I'm the only one who answered, but I think it's a great question so I'm running it by you all here: 1)What is... Sign in to see full entry.

This is the best thing that has ever happened to me

Did you blink, hoping I wouldn't finish that sentence with something stupid? I don't like to disappoint, so, no. No answer. I wish I could say the same for everyone. I thought I could trust TV commercials. Now I’m wondering…about a lot of things. Some woman had to consult a personal injury attorney.... Sign in to see full entry.

What Rocks Your World?

For me, it's words. Have you ever heard someone say something, or read a long-forgotten line in a book, only to know it will be with you from now on? I can't pick out one favorite quote, as it depends on the day and what's going on in my life. The last few days it has been this one from Eleanor... Sign in to see full entry.

Viagra for the Masses

For a minute there I thought I was looking at one of the many emails I get promising me lasting happiness. But no. It was a real news story from Reuters. We've heard of Sex for Drugs; Sex for Grades...So it's only nature that the next run latch on. Now we have The Promise of Sex for auto repairs and... Sign in to see full entry.

Louie, Louie...It's Go Time

As per the last post, the superintendent of schools in a Michigan district was incensed that a middle school had approved the song Louie, Louie for its marching band. I don't want to repeat, so details are in the previous post. Well, what a difference a day (or so) makes. The superintendent sent... Sign in to see full entry.

School bans Louie, Louie---albeit it a bit behind the rest of the world.

Okay, what decade are we in? Didn't we debate this a long, long time ago? A Michigan middle school took a tongue lashing for giving the thumbs up for its marching band to play Louie, Louie, written in the mid '50s. They said it was inappropriate. How do they know? Urban legend, that's how. Almost... Sign in to see full entry.
