9 comments Smiles everyone, smiles! It is that time of year when the undue stress of studying past, present and future performances of the Nation Football Leagues finest players is at hand.

3 comments Stephen Sangirardi Bard715@aol.com Born evil, or Made evil? There is a great, although virtually unknown, short story by Roald Dahl called “Catastrophe and Creation.” (He’s the writer who created the Matilda series.) This first story—which Dahl claimed to be based on a historical event—is about a fragile newborn at the turn of the century [...] August 15, 2012

5 comments I suppose the current political climate encourages me to pose this question: “Would you rather play “fair” and lose – or – play “unfair” and win?” However, this question does not only apply to politics – it applies to relationships, sports, business, or any other aspect of daily living. I would like to know [...] August 10, 2012

25 comments So I can deal with Roseanne or Trump wanting to run for President, it’s worth a chuckle or two. So silly is all of the inane Olympic chatter surrounding the size of female athlete’s feet, or their choice in coiffeur. The Mars photos haven’t been that interesting, but I suppose I’m looking for the [...] August 9, 2012

4 comments Perhaps I am just a grumpy and bitter old man? As a Viet Nam era Veteran, I recently looked into what VA benefits I might be entitled? I investigated these benefits prior to my discharge but have not done so since. I saw a piece, on TV, about a WWII Vet who could not [...] August 3, 2012

8 comments In the past I have written an article on our oil reserves and the efforts or lack thereof to tap into these resources. It had the title of The Biggest Oil Find in U.S. History. At the time it was written given the data available it was true. Today we find there are other [...] July 28, 2012

11 comments In a column written by a great fellow, there was a discussion of the “negative” commentary about public officials and their attitudes toward “the people,” otherwise known as the “employer.” Lest they forget for whom they are to work, I am an infection here to re-inform them. A controversy of sorts has been fanned [...] July 26, 2012

11 comments Michael Jackson’s Children I don’t know any of the Detroit Jacksons of Jackson 5 fame. Of course I know who they are and I certainly appreciate all the music they have produced for our enjoyment however, what goes on in their family has nothing to do with me except, like someone recently said [...] July 16, 2012

23 comments I was disappointed the other day when I heard Morgan Freeman acerbically saying that President Obama was “not our first black President. He had a momma and she was white…” I have always been a fan of his work, and he seems like a mostly likeable fellow. But I fail to understand why he [...] July 4, 2012

One of the critical rights we have is our right to choose who we want to represent us in our local, state or federal governments.

Leave a comment In America today just like in Lake Woebegone every child is above average and every child gets a trophy. We may score low in international grade comparisons but we rank number one in self-esteem. In other words American students may not be doing well but they think they are. Those of us old enough [...] June 20, 2012
Sunday was Father’s Day and was a special day for most fathers but it seems it was especially nice for one daddy in particular, John Edwards. Not only does he have a young daughter but he also got to spend the weekend at his beach house in North Carolina with her, rather than a [...] June 9, 2012

2 comments There once was a time when I wished life along, racing to win or just to belong? From teen to adult not speedy enough, the waiting, alone, was really quite tough. From Army to jobs caring little about, my purpose in life I really did doubt. I searched and I searched but really in [...] |

Just a Little Snip…SNIP
When law enforcement officials entered a Philadelphia medical clinic to gather evidence and put a stop to the illegal prescription business, or “pill mill,” they noticed a strong smell of urine, dirty bedding, cat feces, blood spatter all around, and poorly-cared for moaning women on gurneys. While investigating the drug-selling activities of Dr. Kermit [...]
