An embarrassing spelling mistake outside a school in Manhattan’s Lower East Side reportedly remains unfixed months after the error was made. Can you believe this? The New York Post reported officials at the Department of Transportation said the error was not made by city officials, but rather by a utility provider following repair work on […]
It’s the big showdown in Florida today. Polls show Mitt Romney way ahead of the pack. We’ll see tonight. While watching The Factor last night, I learned that Mr. Romney has outspent Mr. Gingrich by 4 to 1 in advertising and that was one of the reasons for his surge in the polls. He just […]
My husband and I were recently in New York for a few days to enjoy the Christmas trees, window displays, and decorations. While visiting St. Patrick’s Cathedral, I planned to buy a gift for my grand niece who will be receiving her First Communion in May. I was shocked to see that a music box […]
By this time, I really shouldn’t be surprised when I read about yet another waste of taxpayers’ money. But I am. While our national debt has recently passed the $15 trillion mark, we continue to waste money on any number of ridiculous causes, programs AND countries! Did you know that the U.S. government gave $18 […]
Michael Fuller of North Carolina thought he was going to hit the big time when he went into a store to buy $476 worth of stuff at Walmart. Either he was incredibly dumb or trying to pull a fast one – I say both. He tried buying his vacuum cleaner with a $1,000,000.00 bill insisting […]

I would say my favorite job was back in 1968 when I worked for Macy’s on 34th Street while going to college. I worked two nights a week and all day Saturday and netted about $22. I loved the job. I took orders on the phone. I loved the different forms — the order forms, […]

The center collects and displays a wide variety of items related to the history of skiing, including equipment, films, photos, art, and clothing. For example, visitors can […]
I guess we have to start out with the premise that you’re probably dumb if you’ve ended up in jail. So it shouldn’t surprise me when I read about really dumb lawsuits filed by some inmates. If you’ve read anything I’ve written about prisons, you’ll know that I don’t get why prisoners get for free […]
Those were the words uttered by FBI agent Fox Mulder, a character on an old television show, The X-Files, after a bunch of Satan worshippers perform some sort of hocus pocus ceremony aimed at summoning up a spirit and then finding themselves the target of that evil force. I couldn’t help but think of those […]
