I recently rented a cargo van from U-Haul. While reviewing the agreement, I noticed a $1 charge for an “Environmental Fee.” I asked the clerk to explain, and he pointed to a page that bragged about the $20 million that U-Haul has generously “donated” to environmental initiatives. Then the clerk printed a page for me…
As I have said many times before, when I see evidence that shows I’m the smartest person in the room, I’m probably in the wrong room. “Despite new technology in helmets developed over the past two years, concussions are still at the forefront of the NFL. Concussions were up 21 percent in 2010 over the season…
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/10/03/hank-williams-compares-obama-to-hitler_n_992513.html I’m not a fan of Hank Williams, Jr. Other than the theme to Monday Night Football, I couldn’t tell you one of his songs, not even by accident.

There’s a commonly known formula, or at least it’s commonly known to me, that lies in almost every John Grisham novel. Either the government, nationally feared law firm, or conglomerate of a company is doing something wrong, usually doing it to regular people.…
On my bank website there’s a security question that asks, “What team do you usually hope will lose?” That’s easy. I know a lot of Boston Red Sox fans, but I only know one real red sox fan. Usually, the easy way to tell if someone is a “real” fan of anything is to…
Fall is approaching. Fall means two important things: baseball playoffs and football. Football means two important things: college and pro. College football means two important things: fans gambling and illegal activity in the program. Most illegal activity involves players receiving money and gifts in order to attend or remain at a particular school. Many players…
New laws always bring question marks. Why is it necessary, and what brought this to mind? Why weren’t we smart enough to have thought of it before now? Was this a knee-jerk reaction, or was it thoroughly considered? Was there much opposition, and what were their reasons? What are…
It’s about lying, and more than just regular lying, like a kid lying to his mother about not having homework, I mean a national figure knowingly lying through the media to the American people. Rush Limbaugh…
As of July 31, heat records have been set 2,676 times this summer, and it’s only a little more than half over. Flooding is so bad that entire towns have been swallowed up, and some will never come back. These floods are mainly from the greater-than-usual mountain snow this past winter, which is now melting and running down the Mississippi…
