Fireworks, the future, lies and innuendo

I know, I know . . . I am late on the whiner’s wagon in regards to crying about the excessive displays of selfishness taking over Michigan. Of course, I am talking about the evening hour shenanigans and fireworks. Come on already folks, July 4 was half a month ago! I know the state still […]

Wonder why Michigan sucks? Read on.

As of this writing, the fate of the free world is precariously sitting atop a pinpoint — one bad gust o? wind and evil will prevail over goodness. Well, maybe that’s a little melodramatic. Yet as I write, folks in Lansing are still trying to look good to their favorite special interest groups. I don’t […]

I am shocked . . . or is it shocking?

Okay something weird is up. Maybe I should just call an astrophysicist or something; have things checked out. In the course of one week and one day, electrical devices connected to you know who (if you don’t know who, it’s me — your hero, Dandy Don Rush) have been crappin? out. Two Sundays ago . […]

George Bush doesn’t like Michigan people

Recording artist Kanye West was wrong when he said something to the effect, ‘George Bush doesn’t like black people.? George Bush doesn’t like people of any color if they come from Michigan. It seems clear to me the future of Michigan (near term) is murky at best — and we can thank, in part, United […]

Our ‘deteriorating electrical distribution system?

Last week I surmised I may have been transmuted into some sort of electrical super-freak — in eight days I lost two computers, a TV and a car battery. The only thing in common with these electrical devices, as far as I could tell, was they all were touched by me. Gulp. I wondered what […]

Gas prices really bum me out . . . so who do I blame?

Has anybody ever done a study of the infrastructure the American petroleum pipeline? I swear there is at least one a year that bursts, blows or leaks and it is always a fast acting leak, too. As soon as that sucker blows, prices jump 30 cents a gallon. What was it, last Thursday, that gas […]

Lions-free, that’s me.

Recently — if you call a couple of weeks ago, ‘recently? — I announced I was Lions-free. It was at a family function, and well, it felt pretty good to share. I imagine it’s the same way an alcoholic feels when he or she professes to be going on the wagon. What I was trying […]

My cell phone policy has evolved

On Aug 16, 2006 I wrote the following: I have had a cell phone now for a couple years, but don’t expect me to give you the phone number. Even if I like you. Also, don’t look for the number on the bottom of my business card. My cell phone isn’t really for talking. It […]

Labor Day Freak Out!

Maybe three-day weekends are not a good thing. Maybe during so much time off a person’s mind can wander where it shouldn’t. Here are some of the things I thought about during the Labor Day weekend. (And I didn’t think about war in Iraq, Michigan unemployment, nor home foreclosures and high gas prices — but, […]
