Some things are final. I worked for almost thirty one years for the same company, and I've spent the last three and a half years in retirement. I believe I can place a period there. There has never been a single day that I have wished that I had waited another year or two for…

Taxidermy means never having to say goodbye. I prefer security over extravagance. Truth can be terrifying, but only to those who are terrified of the truth. Never underestimate the power of the bean counters. If there are TVs in hell, Hallmark is on every channel. Free carrots will always get you votes. Experts come and…

How can it be the middle of November already? As I look to the east, and consider things, I'm wondering where fall ran off to. For central Kentucky, it's customary to have a couple of weeks dedicated to leaf removal and winter preparation, but there isn't a damn thing in this country that works like…

In this month we set aside for giving thanks, I always peter out by the middle of the month. I don't know why, because I'm not less thankful in the middle of November, but I just seem to lose interest in sharing my blessings, because I know the day to day struggles of so many.…

I love video games. Assassin's Creed has consistently proven to be one of my favorites. Like most RPGs, in the beginning I am stumbling around in a world that overwhelms me, and even though I am ill equipped, the future is filled with excitement.

So maybe you've been having an affair with this awesome political party that has promised you everything from Obama phones to free healthcare, and on and on, and life is good and you couldn't be happier. Then you wake up one morning and just like in Fatal Attraction, with Glenn Close standing over you, you…

Sitting here alone, and considering how much life has changed from a year ago, the cares of last year seem very unimportant to me now. ws

I remember a time when right and wrong wasn't political. I also remember a time when you were innocent until you were proven guilty. Tragically, those days are never coming back. How did we get here? I wish I knew. On the surface, it looks like control of the Supreme Court is at stake. On…

You can't put a price tag on hope. Communism will kill you for the good of the many. Socialism will kill you for your own damn good. Communism, with a happy face I guess. The best way to keep a good man down is to make him fat and lazy with government handouts. You will…

People will fight you now over issues they know little about. The less they know, the louder they shout. The louder they shout, the more enraged they become. When I was very young, people would say things like, "We don't discuss politics." Now we wear our guy on hats and t-shirts. Here's the funny thing though... I don't remember supporters…
