Former newspaper guy. Yes, I like pina coladas, college football, the Steelers and soccer. Take nothing I post seriously - unless it's about BBQ or beer.

I got my second tattoo at an old school biker tattoo shop back in the early 1990s. He was halfway through the piece when I noticed the swastika flash on one corner of the wall. I had gone in with my own design and never looked at the flash. Never made that mistake again.

I was quite drunk in Brussels a few years ago and only got a hangover ... which a breakfast of frites and mayo cured.

What is that - a 27-inch screen? No quad box? With crappy beer?

A leftist's head would explode if they had to watch sports with such an incredibly shitty setup

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.

Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

At the last rally in Fort Smith, I saw little old grandmas and Iraq veterans, preachers and Sunday school teachers.

Mike Johnson on No Kings: "We refer to it by its more accurate description -- the Hate America Rally. You're gonna bring together the Marxists, the socialists, the antifa advocates, the anarchists, and the pro-Hamas wing of the far left Democrat Party. That is the modern Democratic Party."
