Let me say this about that.

Twenty years ago, I saw a cartoon in the newspaper that depicted a father scolding his son who he caught studying a mathematics text book.  The caption read:  “Put down that text book, go outside and practice your jump shot”.  The point of the cartoon, of course, was a tongue-in-cheek reference to the [...]

Twas the day after Christmas, and all through the house, the only thing stirring, was Shambo’s sweet spouse.
She woke-up her hubby, to do chores she was wishing, but all  Shambo wanted, was just to go fishing.
He stumbled to the john, to empty his bladder, and then snuck out the door, without [...]

Guys love their sports, especially ones in which they can participate.  Participation sports are important for men as a way to disperse the pressure and frustration that builds up on the job by the end of each week.  Sometimes I wonder if, in [...]

Poor ‘ol Tiger Woods.  Seems his whole world has come crumbling down on his frizzy little head.  Too bad he was caught doing the one thing that is an unforgivable sin for anyone famous:
He screwed-up on a slow news day.
Now, of course, you can’t pick up a newspaper, turn on [...]

Let me say this about that.
Well, the ‘ol Tiger sure has had his troubles of late.  Seems he has been ‘putting-the-wood’ to more than his drives off the tee.  Even without much of a putting game, he does not appear to be having any problem finding the hole.  In his latest ‘foursome’ he was the only [...]

One of the favorite topics for bloggers is the political scene.  Bloggers seem to do a superior job of exposing the unjust, corrupt, ignorant, unethical, and wasteful output of our political system.  The more established print and broadcast media must be a lot more evasive in their coverage because they are compelled [...]

Let me say this about that.
In order to write a successful blog, one must be fearless.  Readable blog content cannot be diluted with political correctness, swayed by personal bias, nor shrink from controversy.  In my LMSTAT blog, I have taken on some of the most powerful people and institutions in the world including the U.S. federal government, [...]

Question:  What happens when you mix good intentions with stupidity?   Answer:  A dumb idea.Â
Dumb ideas abound in America, in part because we have a huge base of good-intentioned people.  Regrettably, because we also have abandoned disciplining our children and allowed our education system to become little more than a government run baby-sitting service, we also have [...]

Let me say this about that.
On the whole, I believe many of America’s workers are under paid – based on the value they add, based on the profit they generate for their employer, based on the results they achieve.  Conversely, I believe many Americans are grossly overpaid, based on the same criteria.  If you want [...]

Let me say this about that.
It seems to me that there is nothing more un-American than something or someone that is given credit for excellence that is not based on actual performance.  It’s unjust.  It’s inequitable.  It’s prejudicial.  It’s malodorous.  It’s abhorrent.  And, it just pisses me off.Â
Back last June, I wrote an article about [...]
