The Fallacy of ‘Breast Cancer Awareness’
My wife has heard this complaint from me before, “You can’t turn on a sporting event, watch the frigging news or go to the grocery store without some sort of ‘Breast Cancer Awareness,’ crap popping up.” Yes, learning that the disease exists, that it needs a cure and that over 40-thousand women die annually is…

The Hell of Halloween
Devlin looked at his reflection in the mirror and straightened his shirt collar. It was Halloween Night and he was visiting the Crescent City for the first time in a while. Instead of hailing a taxi, he chose to walk the few blocks to Bourbon Street, which was filled with revelers, young and old. Devlin…

When a Car Becomes a Gun
Oh, my god — the car the woman was driving — was really a GUN! When a woman plowed her vehicle through a homecoming parade in Stillwater, Oklahoma, killing four and injuring 30, that was news. But when the Traverse City, Michigan Record-Eagle reported the incident, its headline gave it a whole new set of…

Unapologetically Black
A ‘Black Lives Matter’ protester took down the American flag at the site of the Police Chiefs’ Convention in Chicago and put up a flag that read “Unapologetically Black.” A Palestinian flag was also put up for display. The demonstration’s theme was Stop the Cops. Dozens of the protesters were arrested — most for blocking…

Hollywood Goodbye
Grant stood at the foot of his driveway, hands stuffed in his pockets, watching as Kelli drove away. Once the tail lights of her SUV disappeared, he turned and headed for his front door. “Romantic goodbyes only happen in Hollywood movies,” he muttered as he stood at the kitchen sink looking out the window at…

Meme Me Another Lie
The last couple of days I’ve seen this meme on Facebook – and it pisses me off… Progressives are again on the march, hoping to obfuscate the truth, by confusing what the Benghazi hearings are about. While on the face of it the numbers are exacting, the message is wrong. The four deaths in Benghazi…

Bend Over and Take It
Apparently, Health and Human Services is having a trouble convincing the 10.5 million people who are eligible for Obamacare to sign up. The initial HHS estimate for the number of people who would be signing up for coverage on the Obamacare exchanges next year was originally 20 million. But that ain’t gonna happen. Instead the…

The Grand Panderer
Hillary McCankle-Von Cackle’s (my new name for Hillary Rodham Clinton,) latest campaign video is nothing more than straight pander as she tries to build up her non-existent foreign policy experience. In it is a shot of her wearing a Hijab; an Islamic garment of submission. Not only is the Hijab a source of Muslim violence…

Nuke Waste Dump Fire Closes U.S. 95
It wasn’t jus’ flash flooding that shuttered U.S. 95 from Tonopah to the Pahrump exit – it was a fire at a nuclear waste dump in Beatty. Drivers on U.S. 95 can often see the company’s trucks driving in and out of the desert. The Beatty Dump, as it is sometimes called, desolate stretch in…

Brandy and Regret
Rhonda knew I was unraveling, and I wasn’t hiding it well on the air. The ten-year anniversary of the Beirut bombing was eating me alive, and I had mentioned it not once but twice, like some broken record stuck on repeat. After the second time, she called. She must’ve known. “Are you alright?” she asked,…
