For those valiant and noble readers still with me, you can see that this site is beginning to look like its author had intended. Still lacking supreme CSS power, those bulleted lists at right still frustrate me mightily. For doth, it is yet beyond my paltry augury yet still I press on, to try again. [...]

The death toll from this week’s disaster is over 60,000. Visit Prestopundit for the up-close-and-personal video. I just keep thinking about the words of Jesus.

A Ford commercial asks, “What do you think of when you hear, ‘Fantasy’.”
A) Wizards and Dragons
B) Swimsuit Model
C) Football
Three decades ago I would have said, “A”.
Two decades “B”.
Today? It’s gotta be “C”.
So it’s a sad day when all the fun comes to a screeching halt. In our main league—The Breakfast Club—I lead all season only [...]

I have no problem stating that the People’s Choice Awards are more relavant than the Oscars. They should also be more esteemed since much of what goes into the ballotting and subsequent “voting” is subject to the kind of political manuerving that would make Illinois Democrats proud.

Reggie White, the long-time Packer sackman passed away today. Reggie was much more than an amazing football player, he was a man of God. Which in this day and age doesn’t get nearly the accolades it deserves.

Oh my goodness there’s a lot of snow around here. But, of course, our mayor says the city is handling it well. What else is he going to say? “We’re really just a bunch of lazy government employees, so don’t expect that snow cleared any time soon.” Uh huh.

How can you not love the Kentucky players as they visit the local children’s hospital? What? I forgot to mention how UK came back from 16 points at the half to beat UofL on a last second play by Patrick Sparks? Oh silly me. ;^)

Rumaisa Rahman, born three months ago in Illinois at the astonishing weight of 8.6 ounces, finally gets to go home. What a remarkable time we live in. Scott Peterson gets two counts of murder for killing his wife and unborn baby. A pregnant mother is killed for her unborn child while others are “aborting” them [...]

Growing up in Kentucky, we usually just answered, “Yeah, I’ll have a Coke.”
To which the response invariably came back, “Ok. What kind?”
And viola! “Root beer, please.”
Now, I understand that different parts of the country like to have things their own way, a la the Burger King, but it always struck me as odd hearing my [...]

I thought Christmas would be a worthy topic of this site’s inaugural post (relaunch actually). It means so much to so many people, and not all happy. But no one can deny it’s predominently altruistic effect. I found the history of Christmas to be very interesting. Here’s hoping you all have a wonderful Christmas season [...]
