Playing the lottery…

by Guest Writer December 8, 2009

There is a pretty obvious reason why buying lottery tickets is a bad idea. You will lose money. The odds are usually just awful. Casino gambling is, in comparison, a comparatively sound investment.
And, of course, casino gambling is not a wise thing to do with your savings. You would have to be off the deep [...]

‘The Blind Side’

Actress Sandra Bullock says meeting Leigh Anne Tuohy, who she portrays in The Blind Side, showed her there really are some Christians who “walk the walk.”
The film, which opened the week before Thanksgiving, presents the true story of the Tuohys — a well-off white family in Tennessee — who welcome a homeless black youth into their [...]

“Insuring” Good Health

Thumbnail image for “Insuring” Good Health by Chick Heileson December 2, 2009

As Congress currently debates a massive government overhaul of our nation’s healthcare system, it seems a fundamental question is being left out of the debate: “Does the federal government have any right to discuss how to manage your personal health?”
The current administration is pushing for a government-run plan that will compete with private insurance plans. [...]

Blake Hall – Police Report! (in a searchable text format)

Thumbnail image for Blake Hall – Police Report! (in a searchable text format) by Eavesdropper November 15, 2009

I have read that Blake Hall plead guilty and has spent time in jail, or is spending some time in jail as we speak.  I’ve read discussion on this site that ranges from accusing Blake Hall of basically being a relentless stalker, to what someone might call a broken hearted victim of a cruel women.
So, [...]

OK, so let me admit up front… I am shamelessly promoting my radio show right now.
Since there’s a lot of interest in this Ehardt/Cornwell race, you may want to tune in to the program today (Thurs). Cornwell will be on around 12:20, then Ehardt around 12:35ish. — On Newstalk 690 & 1260.
I’ll have some tough [...]

Why does the media persist in honoring Michael Jackson?

by The Gadsden July 13, 2009

I do not know about you, but I am absolutely tired and concerned about the media’s coverage and love affair with Michael Jackson. We are nearing the month anniversary of Jackson’s death and the media has refused to let him die. Is there not anything better to cover? Is there not actual news happening elsewhere [...]

Pardon my gripe over public education

by Neal Larson April 6, 2009

[PRE-EMPTIVE DISCLAIMER: Before I proceed, let me make it clear that I largely love those who work in public education and believe they work hard. I come from a family with plenty of educators who have worked in the public education system. The people, in my assessment, are good. It's the system itself that is [...]

Scott Stevens Still Fighting to Prove WeatherWars Theories

by Joe Vandal September 13, 2007

I have an embarrassing admission to make. I interviewed Scott (Weather-Wars) Stevens about a year ago, but lost my notes. I recently found those interview notes in some other papers, so here it is.
We probably all remember the strange circumstances when former KPVI meteorologist Scott Stevens suddenly got famous for his “weather control” theories. [...]

Conversation with Idaho Falls Mayor Jared Fuhriman

by Joe Vandal August 8, 2007

I had a chance to speak with Idaho Falls Mayor Jared Fuhriman this morning. I have met with him a couple times previously, but did not want to make a big deal about it, and definitely do not want to imply he endorses IdahoFallz.com or anything like that. Usually a mayor would not have any [...]
