I would just like to announce that I love my wife, Michele, just a little bit more today. That revelation comes after watching just a half-hour of The Bachelor last night to see what they used from the show’s trip to the Oshkosh area back in October. For those of you that did not…… READ MORE

The George Costanza Era
One of the greatest lines to come out of the Seinfeld series was from George Costanza telling Jerry how to be come a great liar and fool a polygraph machine: Now fast forward from the 1990’s to just this past weekend, as new White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer set a combative tone…… READ MORE
The Obama Legacy
As he heads out of office today, talking heads are wondering what President Obama’s “legacy” will be. It’s important for Presidents to have “legacies”–although I would be hard pressed to tell you what the legacies of Chester A Arthur, Franklin Pierce and Benjamin Harrison may have been. Obviously, President Obama’s “legacy” was going to…… READ MORE
Doing Too Much
When you think about a state university, what do you believe should be its primary focus? Educating kids, right? And it’s second purpose should be conducting research that can benefit all of society, correct? Anything beyond that is tertiary in importance and should be done only if resources are abundantly available. That is why the…… READ MORE
A Final Slap in the Face
Wow. You’ve gotta hand it to President Obama–he really knows how to go out in style. On the third-to-last day of his Presidency, Obama delivered the biggest slap in the face to his country by commuting the sentence of treason convict Chelsea (nee Bradley) Manning. Manning was to serve a 35-year prison sentence for stealing classified…… READ MORE

And I’d like to extend a very special “Come on aboard” to those specifically demanding scaled-back Executive Powers starting on Friday. I bet you never thought you’d…… READ MORE
An Idea Whose Time Had Gone
Animal rights activists are crowing this week claiming the decision by the Barnum and Bailey-Ringling Brothers Circus to end their show is a “victory for their side”. As if their emails to radio and TV stations in advance of circus stops–or flyers handed out to people going to the show and then just tossed on the…… READ MORE
Not Worth a Pitcher of Warm P!$@
The number one thing I won’t miss about President Obama after his term ends a week from today is his stunning lack of historical awareness. The President decided to show that off one more time yesterday during his presentation of Joe Biden with the Medal of Freedom. In his speech, the President called Biden “The best Vice…… READ MORE
A Simple Solution
If social media is to be believed, there is another petition going around demanding that FOX Sports no longer assign Joe Buck and Troy Aikman to broadcast Green Bay Packers games. The belief is that both “hate the Packers”, criticize the team unfairly and don’t get as excited about their big plays as they do for…… READ MORE
The Greatest Farewell Address Ever!
Well I must say that I am inspired this morning having just recapped the best farewell address ever delivered by an American President. I logged onto the Library of Congress website last night and read through George Washington’s farewell address to the nation in 1796. Washington never actually gave the address–as there was obviously no…… READ MORE
