Look at this guy. He’s Peter Rettman. Doesn’t he look like he could be anyone’s grandfather? He probably is. But he’s also not a nice guy. Not because he’s a cross-dresser. I couldn’t care less. But because he crossed the line. First of all, he’s reported to be a “renowned stockbroker” and University of Washington […]

I know zilch about sports. All I know is that “March Madness” annoyingly pre-empts Judge Judy (I want to be Judge Judy when I grow up). So, I REALLY don’t understand stories like this one: “Riot police used pepper spray in small amounts for crowd control as thousands of rowdy fans swarmed into the streets […]

People never cease to amaze me. Day after day, I read something about some nut job going crazy over the most ridiculous things. A guy was finally arrested after calling 911, not once, but five times, to complain that his iPhone wasn’t working properly. Now that’s a real emergency. Another moron in North Carolina caused […]

Case in point. Andrea Merida, one of seven on Denver’s School Board. As a member, she’s charged with overseeing a budget of […]
