For a very simple reason: What good can those days do now when we constantly moving into the future?? Don’t get me wrong my good people, history is wonderful. Just seeing how we humans did things in the past fascinates me. And of course if you don’t remember the past you are doomed to repeat it. But we seem to be in a time where we have a hard time dealing with the future. Generally speaking, I believe we love the “good old days” since it keeps our minds off the future issues. The future is scary and many of us don’t want to tackle it. Look at health care for...

Hillary Rodham Clinton says President Bush has a “What, me worry?” attitude (i.e. Alfred E. Neuman of MAD Magazine) and Republicans get all ornery and chippy: Republicans Blast Sen. Clinton’s Comments By MARC HUMBERT, Associated Press Writer ALBANY, N.Y. - Republicans took aim at Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton on Monday for a speech comparing President Bush to Mad magazine’s freckle-faced, “What, me worry?” kid, Alfred E. Neuman. A Republican National Committee official said the former first lady was “part of today’s angry and adrift Democrat Party,”...

Feels closer grip almost gone I’m feeling looser So tired of trying to hold on It’s looking crystal clear now Borderline is near now I can just breathe, yeah, yeah I’m headed for the brink of insanity And I, I hope to get there soon I’m tired of being sane in this world now There’s too much to be consumed I’m headed for the brink of insanity I can see the door not far ahead I hope that they sedate me and give me a rest – Kina, “Insanity“ What makes those lyrics and others so profound in that song is that the music says something totally different....

Last November, my wife and I were honored to be in the presence of Ivana Santilli. Club Meow in Windsor, Ontario (Canada) was the place to be that night. The wife was dressed to impress and I have to admit, I became a tad possessive seeing her but hey, she’s my wife and I’m with her. And I was lookin’ good myself. As Solomon is so fond of saying: HOLLA! Nevertheless we arrived, drank a little, and then it was showtime. This beautiful woman comes out with her band (even my wife gave her props). To start the show, she sits behind her keyboard and puts down some serious jazz...

We’re way too logical in picking U.S. Supreme Court justices. Since Sandra Day O’Connor was the recognized “middle” and/or “tie breaker” on the Supreme Court, how about we replace her with a certified nut job? I mean we go to a bunch of mental institutions and find us a solid wackaroon. One that makes decisions by throwing down the bones and reading the pattern of gravy, vegetables, and meat in a piping-hot, opened pot-pie. So after the four over-there make a decision and the four over-there make a decision, our Supreme Wackaroon will be the tiebreaker! ...

Venus Williams and Lindsay Davenport They both played their heart out in a classic Wimbledon match. Venus Williams and Lindsay Davenport are both champions in my mind even though Venus eventually won. I watched from the opening serve until the point and it was a honor. I don’t usually think like that about sports (even though I played college football). But sometimes we humans do great things while playing a game and it deserves to be recognized and applauded. Those of you who aren’t into tennis (or the women’s game) missed out on a historic match. I’m really happy...
