…when you can roll-over and play dead every time somebody disagrees with you.
Apparently that’s the new mantra over at the local fishwrap. Well, calling it new might be a bit of a stretch – let’s just call it continuing. It doesn’t seem to matter who the Publisher or Editor are, because when the wind blows [...]
It’s been six years, get over it.
Sorry that sounds cruel, I’ve never been very good with grief. It’s just the way I’ve been feeling lately when it comes to remembering 9/11, but not the way that it’s changed our world.
What I mean is that as soon as those planes hit the Twin Towers, smashed into the Pentagon and [...]
Q. What was the last Category 5 hurricane to strike the U.S. mainland?
If you said Hurricane Katrina, YOU ARE INCORRECT. Katrina was a category 3 storm when it made landfall.
A. The last Category 5 storm to hit the US mainland was Hurricane Andrew that made landfall on southern Florida in 1992.
I bring this up because today is [...]
One of my favorite standards of the MSM is the familiar voice of Paul Harvey (which soon may be replaced with the syrupy gravel tones of the “Southern Fried Reagan“ when FRED figures out that his is the current version of Wesley Clark’s 2004 presidential campaign). Of all the familiar bits that Harvey provides, perhaps my favorite is [...]
Gay, straight – I don’t care we’re all people, but somone may want to check into all of this discussion about homosexuality being the result of genetics and not choice (or vice versa) – just ask Bill Richardson, he’s still not sure.
HUMOR ALERT – IF THE FOLLOWING IS OFFENSIVE TO YOU, YOU OBVIOUSLY DON’T LIKE [...]
By luck I find myself along with my family in the Charleston, South Carolina area getting a little r ‘n’ r (of course lucky us it’s supposed to be in the 100 degree zone the whole time we’re here), and that affords me the chance to enjoy a little southern hospitality and relax.
One of my favorite [...]
I’ve been a little bemused lately at the uproar (yes Jill, I’m calling you out on this:
“I’m not much into name-calling, but I gotta tell you – the way the Republican candidates are freaking out over the CNN/YouTube debates – criminal and immature at the same time. You want people to vote for you, but [...]
“I aim high,” all 20 roar, using their hands to shoot 20 imaginary baskets.
“I will never, never, never, accept failure,” they boom, shaking their heads, “because I’m destined for greatness.”
* * * *
“Do y’all smell that?” he asked the audience. “It’s the smell of fire! Destiny’s burning in the fumes. Young lives just being consumed. [...]
What’s 1700 into 4500? Mathematically it can be explained as 0.37777778. Or as 37.8%. In Cleveland it can also be explained as complete and utter FAILURE!
You see, in August 2003, 4500 kids started their freshman year in Cleveland’s public high schools. 1700 out of the 4500 graduated in 2007. Nationally, about one-third of all public [...]
As a Clevelander one of the things we’ve come to expect is the inability of our elected officials and those in positions of power (the Intelligensia) to accurately account for their use of public funds. In recent years that’s meant that the Cleveland Public Municipal Metropolitan Memorial Regional North Shore Insert Name You Think Fits [...]
