During this rather slow season in the sporting arena, little things that are really not all that newsworthy wind up making the news.

Real Clear Politics provides an average of the various polls that measure the approval ratings of politicians, and it is both stunning and encouraging to see that just 18.6% of Americans approve of the job that Congress is doing.

The celebration was a memorable one indeed. The last necessary state turned blue, and the United States of America had just elected its first African-American president (though that meme was always seemed odd to me since the guy is half black and that half wasn’t American). Jesse Jackson, the civil rights icon, waved his little

It looks like Pope Benedict really takes good care of his gentlemen while they are waiting. Reports have surfaced that a Vatican choir member, Thomas Chinedu Ehiem, was caught on tape by the police lining up male prostitutes for Antonio Balducci, who is a Gentleman of His Holiness.

These days the presidential election seems to go to the bigger celebrity, not the most qualified candidate with the best ideas. If that trend continues, it looks like Sarah Palin has the inside track for the Republican nomination in 2012. Last week 5.8 million viewers turned in to watch her crack jokes with Jay Leno,

Many of us can recall learning back in elementary school that St. Augustine, Florida is the oldest city in the country, and I can personally say that the pictures that they had in the books made it look like St. Augustine would be a great place to visit. I subsequently lived in Florida for a

When you are interesting in doing business ethically, you have to consider the consequences down the line, and unfortunately big business in America has never done that. It is like farming, and I grew up in the city so I am no expert on farming. But I did learn the principle of rotating crops. You
