You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ When you do your best and your best isn’t good enough. I took an ass chewing today. The sad part is I thought I had done more than expected, more than needed. I thought my effort was superb and bullet proof. My task was widely applauded […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Real News vs Fake News. I just had a serious discussion. It was a news discussion. It was a calm discussion, but a passionate discussion.

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy. Morning News. It’s disheartening. 2 Minutes of news. And then 58 minutes of promos. If it’s not the Bachelor, it’s Dancing With the Stars.

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ DEFLATE GATE. With the Superbowl a week away, the propaganda machine is revved up like a teenage boy at the prom. DEFLATE GATE?

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.

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Crazy Fred! It’s 9 am on a Saturday morning. I am scheduled to pick up a car at Enterprise Rental Car for my drive to Carmel. I’m picking up the car in sleepy Camarillo, a city north of L.A. The doors open at 9 am. I […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Club M. It’s a San Diego Night Spot that is one part Star Wars Bar and one part Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus. “Step right up and look at the Moth Faced Man,” the door man should shout. “Step into the Club M and […]
