First off kids, don’t try this at home or for any high school or collegiate paper for which you will be graded. I am a highly trained and 40-hour a week salaried professional. What you are about to witness, if I can pull it off, is a column which weaves three, seemingly unrelated topics into […]
Elvis Presley sang a song in the late 1960s for the movie, Live a Little, Love a Little. The song, I believe written by Mac Davis (who also wrote In the Ghetto), was titled A Little Less Conversation. It wasn’t that cool of a song in the late ?60s, but became popular with a remix/dance […]
I can’t help it. I know it’s not funny. I know it’s not a joke. But ‘death by hamster? just sounds funny to me. I am bad. I’m going to Hell. But, I can’t help it. In 2005, I remember reading about people who died because they received donated organs infected with some sort of […]
I asked a question in a my headline, and I think it was an appropriate question, ‘Sunny and 80 for Memorial Day?? The answer, sad to say is, ‘No.? Weather prognosticator Swami Don says this weekend while, reverent and solemn, will be kinda sucky (which also means it will be sorta good). Friday looks to […]

As any one who has drank from the fountain of knowledge that is the column called Don’t Rush Me can attest, I ain’t the brightest firefly in the night sky. Those who thirst for wisdom and higher insight rarely have their need sated from reading what I lay down with my trusty keyboard. So, what […]
Some how, some way and for some years now, I always get notice informing me when you and I stop working to pay the government, and start working to help ourselves and our families. Tax Freedom Day, the day when we have collectively earned enough money to pay our federal, state taxes, arrived in Michigan […]
I always thought one of the nifty things about living in America, as a citizen of these here United States, was the freedom to be ‘Me? or the freedom for you to be ‘You.? Carrying that notion a bit further, is the freedom to think, feel and express myself as I see fit. You can, […]
We are becoming a ‘soft? nation. An ocean of ‘wimps? and ‘hoity toitys? (whoever they are) will soon be upon us. No longer will we be a nation of beer and burgers — everybody will want Chablis and crumpets (whatever they are). Woe is us. I have come to this conclusion after thorough research. The […]
