Sometimes the tail wags the dog.  Not this dog.  Abby Roux is riding the wave.  Four total points stood between her and a perfect week two.  So it goes.  She’ll gladly take it. The results in week two were identical to week one.  That brings the season totals to six wins v four losses, ten …

In the 19th-century election ballots were counted by hand. Usually, when the count was first announced, the customary crowd of people that gathered to await the results cheered loudly. Oftentimes, this was a preliminary indication of who would win the election, hence the expression, all over but the shouting. In California last evening it was …

Well, if week one was crazy, then week two was cray, cray, as they say. We have a few observations as you might imagine.  Ten to be exact.  Alabama had mercy on Mercer.  After leading 31-0 at halftime, Bama cruised to a 48-14 victory.  Predictably, this made Nick Saban unhappy. His rants are fun …

Guess what’s back in all of its pomp and circumstance?  College football.  Fans included. Guess who’s back for year four with all of her picking prowess and expertise?  Abby.  Her fans included. Abby and college football. Red beans and rice.  Our President and leadership.   Well, two out of three isn’t bad. Abby starts year four …

Seven is usually the lucky number.  But for President Joe Biden, the dice roll in month seven of his presidency has come up snake eyes. Major storm clouds gathered rapidly both internationally and domestically.  One storm was named the Taliban, the other Ida.  Both have had devastating effects. What could the man in the highest …

To vax or not to vax, or booster or not to booster, or mask or not to mask, those are but three of the questions Americans ask. And, now the workplace is emboldened.  Mandates commeth. Afghanistan?  Don’t even get us started. We need a good dose of the best medicine known to man(and woman)kind in …
