HOW BAD ARE THINGS?Once again the voices of doom are declaring the GOP dead and buried. According to the most recent WSJ poll, evidently the GOP isn’t well favored by voters this year – or are they? The eternals are here.&nb...

THE GREEN DEATHThere are now endless Henny-Penny reports that the sky is falling and we are all going to die of starvation. They are “rationing” rice at Wally-World and Costco. They are rationing rice in Israel.&...

The results of the radiation test of my thyroid gland came back and a nodule appears to be dead so the eyes, ears, nose and throat doctor wants to do a needle biopsy. I am freaking out over this periodically due to my huge, massive, gi-normous phobia o...

Barack Obama was 'angry' ... at least according to him and according to the media who repeated what he wanted them to repeat. But you can’t fact-check emotion, can you? That's what the Columbia Journalism Review asks. Was Obama really...

I should mention I own a trucking company so my interest in fuel prices is very keen. Relief in any form appeals to my instincts.

I have taken steps to reduce my fuel usage by turning down top speed, reducing idle time, and double checking routes in order to minimize miles.
