Lane Kiffin Fired at USC

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Lane Kiffin Fired at USC. Mediocrity hasn’t had this long a run since Randy on American Idol. So I am sitting in a sports bar late Saturday night and it’s embarrassing. On one of the screens in this half empty beer hall, my alma mater is […]

The Filibuster

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Filibuster: (N) – an action such as a prolonged speech that obstructs progress in a legislative assembly while not technically contravening the required procedures. Senator Ted Cruz’s Filibuster on Capitol Hill was a doozy! Senator Cruz delivers an all night speech against Obamacare as the big health […]

Satis-Fries

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Healthy French Fries. That’s an oxymoron like safe chain saw juggling. French Fries are as American as beer guts and beer nuts . Fries go with everything. Chili dogs and ham sandwiches. Filet Mignon and Caesar Salad. Pizza and Mac N Cheese and even spaghetti all go […]

Twerking

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Twerking. I just heard this term for the first time. Excuse me? Twerking? It’s like Jerking and Working combined. But Working and Jerking what? Your ass! Yeah I said it. Your ass. Twerking is an ass shaking thing. You know how it looks when your washing […]

the night shift

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ The Night Shift. I’m a disoriented gerbil on nocturnal walking wheel. I’m an A.M. kind of guy in a P.M. kind of world. At least this week. I’m a first shift news gatherer carrying a 2nd shift basket all week long. It’s just the night shift […]

I just threw away 40 million

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Throwing away 40 million dollars. I feel like I flushed a dream down the tubes. It’s swirling around the drain, being sucked into a greased filled pit of oblivion. What I did was so careless, the Gods of fortuitous irony will strike me with a thunderbolt. […]

insurance bullies

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Insurance companies extorting money. Cash cranking. Check book prying. Financial malfeasance. Insurance company workers are modern day snake oil salesman. 100 500 200 they talk about rates and coverage like con men telling me what coverage i need, what’s normal, what i have to have. “Yes […]

South Worst Airlines 2

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Sleeping in the Denver airport. After missing my connecting flight to Nashville, and being told there are no hotels in the Denver due to the 500 year flood, I am sitting in a row of black chairs weighing my options. I am frazzled and tired. I […]

South Worst Airlines

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Flying the friendly skies. As we are making our descent into Denver, the captain comes on the intercom. “Well folks. Here’s the latest from the flight deck.” I strain to hear his words over the garbled speaker system mixing with jet engine roar. “I’m afraid the […]

Timeless Beach Beauty

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ The Beach. At the end of the Earth, where the sand ends and the waves begin, there lies an aquatic boundary. So much beauty all condensed into one space. Sunshine and salt air and spectacular blue-green water. Waves and sea lions and surfers. The beach is like […]
