So did you get what you wanted for Christmas?  Were all your wishes fulfilled?  Were you ecstatic or disappointed on Monday morning?  Maybe a little bit of both, I know how you feel, for the fifth year in a row I didn’t have a new BMW convertible in my driveway, actually for the fiftieth year…

Well, we made it through another “End of the World”. At least, if you are reading this I presume that the Mayans were wrong. If you’re not reading this, then perhaps one of the many and varied doomsday scenarios actually happened on December 21st. On the other hand, maybe you’re not reading it because you…

Let me start by saying I’m not fan of radio prank calls.  When they come on our local radio station I turn it off or find another station.  I also don’t like TV shows like “America’s Funniest Videos”, probably for the same reason.  I am really not into relishing  the humiliation or pain of others…

Just a month ago, Dale Porch, 46, collapsed and died on his front steps after returning home from his night shift job.  The man’s death was certainly a tragedy at his age.  However, what makes it more disturbing is that the Denver man’s body remained on his front steps for two days before anyone realized…

Bah, Humbug,  Scrooge is like Bond, everyone has a favorite.  For some there is no Scrooge like Alistair Sim, he was the actor who portrayed Scrooge in the clip we just saw. He also reprised the role in an Oscar winning short film in 1970.  Maybe it is Albert Finney in the 1970 film simply…

So, Kim Kardashian had to apologize for comments that she made on Twitter.  And you might be thinking, “ and this is worthy of a Penn?”  Well yeah, because of what she had tweeted.  It appears that Kardashian had the audacity to post “Praying for everyone in Israel,” and she followed that with, “Praying for…

Caught!  He got caught.  The fact that a high ranking government official was caught cheating on his wife really shouldn’t be a newsworthy item.  We’ve seen it happen with mayors, senators, governors and Presidents.  That doesn’t make it right, it just makes it common.  But this guy was supposed to be able to keep secrets. …

She was proud of the name she carried and tried to her best to add to the legacy of that name.  Most of us heard the tragic  news of the sinking of the HMS Bounty this past week. What you may not know is that the crewmember whose body was recovered was Claudene Christian.  Does…

The Bounty has been lost. . . again.  I first heard about the problems the Bounty was having early Monday morning as the initial reports came out and I followed the progress of her loss and the rescue of most of her crew with rapt fascination.  It’s an interesting quirk of human nature that I…
