Dumb Cops (Is That Redundant?)
A police officer dressed like a KKK member.
Police officers. Ya gotta love the dumb lugs. Always making the stupidest decisions. Some photos circulated of a cop wearing a KKK outfit. He received a week suspension with (surprisingly) no pay. Why this cop wasn't fired, is beyond me. …

Sports Shorts
Burying jerseys near Hoffa, old men running marathons, instant replay, and the stands collapsing.
I often wish I wrote some of the other sections of the Reader. The funny Remote Control column, making fun of TV shows. Movie reviews would be a blast. And, the Sporting Box, because there's always so much craziness in …
Talent Doesn't Equal Intelligence

Cash Settlements
Virgina Tech victims getting $11 million.
My girlfriend and I were both mentioning how odd it was that the Virginia Tech case was settled, giving the victims families $11 million. We both feel it was a tragedy. We both feel bad for the families. But, neither …
Incoming.
A Navy Seals act of bravery. Is it proper procedure?
I heard that President Bush gave a Navy Seal some huge award. He was the dude that jumped on a gernade, which killed him, but saved the lives of others. As always, newspapers and reports, don't tell me key facts …
Insurance Companies
Insurance companies not wanting to pay when a claim is filed.
Why do insurance companies always try to jack with us? I had car insurance with a big name company for 15 years. Then, they were raising my rates (this was years back). I asked them why. I didn't have a …
Charleton Heston and Guns
The death of Charleton Heston, and my thought on gun control debates.
Well, Charleton Heston died. And, I thought I'd do a blog about him. Not so much about him. I love movies, and love his films. They're classics. Ben-Hur, 10 Commandments, Planet of the Apes, etc. He was the first guy …

Giving to Charity
I hate baseball. So, how about a football story, involving charity.
I've been doing volunteer work for the Make-a-Wish Foundation for about five years now. I used to buy things that a radio station auctioned, with the money going to the charity. Then, I dated a cop in Los Angeles. I …
Teach Your Children Well (or they'll kill)
8-year-olds plotting against their teacher.
My stepbrother is a middle school teacher. I was shocked when seven years ago, he talked about a kid that didn't dress for P.E. and was then at the fence, exchanging something with a guy that wasn't a student. The …
Tattoo You (pranks part II)
A 2-year-old baby tattooed on the radio.
A friend of mine told me she heard a radio station in L.A. pulled an April Fools Day prank that has them in hot water with the police. I Googled, and saw that it was a DJ named Kid Corona. …
A Fools Bucket List
Various pranks that have been done locally, on April Fools Day.
April Fools Day passed, and it's the first one I can remember, where I didn't do any pranks. I just didn't care enough to think of any. A lot of people don't realize how to prank. My friend Maria once …

Have Bouncers Check ID
Bars that get scammed out of money.

Pliers for Flyers
I heard about a woman, I believe she lives in Texas, who now hired a big name lawyer, to sue an airline. Was she ticked she couldn't get peanuts? Or because the only movie they were showing was a Martin …
Gun Control II
The media reporting on the cop shooting in Oceanside.
Okay, I'm totally confused. Why is it the media, and everyone else, is so upset about this cop in Oceanside not being jailed? Don't get me wrong. I'm all for punishing cops when they do something wrong. But, listen up …
Gun Control
Two stories involving guns that "went off".
I have no problem with guns. I have no problem with the NRA. I do have a problem with people that own guns, and their kids get to them, and shoot up a school. Or a neighbor. Or themselves. The …
Horrible Movies
Two of the worst movies you'll ever see.
So, my parents went and saw "Definately, Maybe". They told me it was good. I shouldn't listen to them. They saw The Bucket List, said it was great, and it wasn't. But, they used to always be tough on movies, …
