Don’t laugh until you’ve heard me out. It might be one of the strangest ideas you’ve seen to bust loose the legislative constipation that’s got its hold on the halls of the U.S. Congress, but it just might work. Anyone who’s diverted his eyes away from his text messaging in the last couple of years knows that we are paying millions of bucks You must be a logged in paid subscriber to read the full story.

I knew something was fishy when the Chicago police surrounded our plane. We’d just landed at O’Hare when a covey of police cruisers circled the plane and the gentlemen in blue started taking long guns out of their trunks. I’d experienced some memorable landings. In Honolulu sarong-clad girls draped flowery leis around our necks, and in Sydney we were each handed a toy You must be a logged in paid subscriber to read the full story. Please Login to access.

I admired Harold Ridgeway immensely. A farmer, a man of business, a dedicated father, and one of the finest men to ever walk woods ‘round Poosey. Harold felt that civic duty was just that… a duty. While many of his friends carefully avoided taking part in any civic office for fear it might hurt their business or take up their golf time, Harold You must be a logged in paid subscriber to read the full story.

It’s simple math. I’ve solved the problem of unemployment. The current jobless rate hovers around 8% and if we’d adopt the Crump Plan for Unemployment (CPU), then I’m guessing that we’d actually have jobs going a-begging. The premise is simple: I know, you know, we all know some highly creative people who don’t have a lick of common sense or the ability to You must be a logged in paid subscriber to read the full story.

It probably wasn’t one of my holiest moments, but as I sat through a recent sermon on loving one another, all I could think about was Marlon Brando. It was that scene from The Godfather when he advised his sons that they should never take things personally… little things like robbery and murder. “It’s not personal. It’s just business.” The Godfather knew that You must be a logged in paid subscriber to read the full story. Please Login to access.

It must surely be one of the more delightful jobs in the universe. A group of graduate students were recently given the job of studying people’s laughter. I don’t know the details, but I assume they were assigned a subject to follow around for a day or so and record what made them laugh. I’m not certain how this worked since there’s nothing You must be a logged in paid subscriber to read the full story. Please Login to access.

It’s the battle of the beard. Herb swears he’s going to grow one after going untold centuries with a clean-shaven face and I insist that the addition of more hair to his already sad mug would only make things worse. I think Duck Dynasty is to blame. If you’re not familiar with the hottest show on cable TV, Duck Dynasty is a semi-reality You must be a logged in paid subscriber to read the full story.

It doesn’t take much to flummox my husband Herb, but lately he’s been stymied. Being a die-hard, irascible Republican, the unseasonably late spring has him frustrated. He won’t be able to sleep until he can find a way to blame Obama and the Democrats for the weather. He can be excused on some issues. It’s not uncommon to blame the President for a You must be a logged in paid subscriber to read the full story. Please Login to access.

When the eyes of the world turned Rome-ward last week as the Cardinals from around the world gathered to elect a new pope, my mind was whisked back to the day Herb nearly met His Holiness. John Paul II was running the place when Herb and I climbed aboard an aircraft in Chicago then flew to Italy in the early 1980’s and our You must be a logged in paid subscriber to read the full story.
