This is shaping up to be quite a weekend for confrontation. Right here in Las Vegas we have the Floyd Mayweather Jr.-Ricky Hatton welterweight championship fight. And in Iowa, heavyweight (and I mean that figuratively) Oprah Winfrey will take on former president Bill Clinton in a battle where there is much more at stake than [...]

I, like I’m sure many of you, have been watching the presidential candidates from both parties face off, as well as listening to a never-ending parade of pundits give their two cents and polls that tell us who’s doing what and where. It seems like this campaign has been going on for a year and we [...]

Thanksgiving. That day for most Americans to eat as much as they can as early as possible so that they can have time to digest all that food and be ready for their 5 a.m. assault on any one of a hundred Super Sales the following morning. I hope, however, that those same Americans will take [...]

It looks like talks will begin again on trying to work out a solution for a peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinians and a future Palestinian state. Both sides, particularly the Palestinians, are revving up for a conference next month that will be hosted by the United States. I realize the U.S. is Israel’s [...]

If you’re thinking I’m going to write about O.J. fuggedaboutit. I’m already tired of all the hullabaloo that’s taking place over this sleaze ball. But that doesn’t mean I’m not going to take a page from 60 Minutes’ Andy Rooney and do a bit of bitching. I don’t know about you, but I’m getting tired of [...]

So it was no surprise when they were uttered today by Michael Vick during a press conference as part of an apology and plea for forgiveness. There [...]

Michael Vick is going to plead guilty after making a plea deal with the prosecution. “Yeah, judge, I dun it. I had dogfights on my property and yeah, there was some betting going on…..What’s that?….Oh, yeah, some of the dogs got killed, but they were hurt and we had to put them out of their [...]

Watched Jay Leno last night, as I do most every night as I like to go to bed in a good mood and laughter is the one sure way to make that happen. What I found interesting was that during his monologue, he asked the audience how many had watched the debate among the Republican [...]

As Barry Bonds attempts to tie, then break, Hank Aaron’s home-run record, the controversy surrounding the use of steroids heats up even more, if that’s possible, and though I have always been against the use of steroids, I would like to clear the air on just what it means to sports and what we can [...]

I was watching one of the cable news shows today and saw results of a poll asking people if they thought the campaigning and coverage of presidential candidates began too early, seeing as how the election is still almost a year and a half away. I was surprised to see that 80 percent of those [...]
