Let me say this about that. Seems that in America we’ll do just about anything to get out of a day’s work. In order to soothe our guilt trip for being lazy, we have invented “holidays”. Our logic is that somehow it would be sacreligious, unpatriotic, or disrespectful to actually go to work on these days […]
Let me say this about that. America is wallpapered in warning labels. A guy from another planet could beam-down to Earth and be forgiven if he believed that doing anything on this planet could be hazardous to one’s health. The really silly part of this ‘lawyer-propagated’ blemish on our culture is that we are ‘warned’ […]

Let me say this about that. A few years ago, there was a big flap about the lack of political correctness in the Florida State University’s use of the “Seminole” as it’s mascot. Seemed some folks thought it lacked sensitivity and was disrespectful of the poor Seminole Indian tribes in Florida. Unfortunately, the chalky white, […]
Let me say this about that. In 2001, the Writer’s Guild of America went on strike against network television. The strike lasted only for 22 days, but it forever changed TV entertainment. The writer’s union mistakenly believed that the drivel their membership pumped into D-list sitcoms was actually entertaining. It wasn’t. And during the strike, the “Reality Show” […]
Let me say this about that. My wife and I were in London last year for a short vacation. To avoid traffic, we took the subway downtown for a little sightseeing. While waiting on the subway platform, I was approached by a uniformed policeman who gave me a stern warning: Cop: “Sir, you are forbidden to […]
Let me say this about that. As LMSTAT pointed out last week, America has some big problems. Leaders in business and government have proven that they are no smarter than the average Joe Sixpack. The guys running General Motors ran the company into bankruptcy. The guys running the nation’s largest insurance company, AIG, ran it […]
Let me say this about that. The LMSTAT blog has only been published for a couple of months, but it only took a couple of days before we started getting responses from other countries. Germany, Switzerland, Greece, a few Arabic countries, and Russia – especially Russia. You don’t see most of these responses, either because they are sent to me […]
Let me say this about that. I’m an old guy, which means I was raised as a kid – ‘old school’. Today’s parents don’t know how to raise kids and are far too gentle in teaching them the life-lessons they will need to survive as adults. In my entire youth I never received a ‘time-out’, […]
Let me say this about that. We homo sapiens are pretty proud of ourselves. We’re at the top of the food chain, we are masters of our domain, and we have prehensile thumbs. But, we are also self destructive bastards and are one of the few members of the animal kingdom that has no natural enemy other […]
