Come Heller high water … After Corey Lewandowski did everything short of mooning the House Judiciary Committee during his rancorous testimony, Democratic Chairman Jerrold Nadler said he was so gosh-darn mad he was “considering” holding him in contempt. Considering? Why are … [Read more...]
Jarts and vaping are bad but you know what’s worse?
People who know me know my lifelong obsession with Jarts. If you’re younger than 40, you probably have no idea what those are. They were – and are – the world’s best lawn game, consisting of two plastic rings placed 20 or so paces apart into which you lob Jarts, which are … [Read more...]
Come Heller high water … the ‘Ohmygod, summer’s ending’ edition
Come Heller high water … There are no fence-sitters on Line 5, including me. I’m squarely on the side that says oil and water don’t mix. It makes no sense to risk the Great Lakes based on the word of a company with a lousy record of keeping oil and gas, you know, actually … [Read more...]
Discovering my inner old dude
Being an incredibly witty and insightful commentator on the absurdities of life is easier when you’re younger. People think you’re simply being delightfully sarcastic or wry. But when you’re older and you point out something ridiculous, people immediately think you’re just … [Read more...]
Come Heller high water … the Andy does summer edition
Andy does summer in Michigan … I’m just going to say it: I like Renaissance festivals. I’ve always been a fan of hokey and there’s nothing hokier than a guy dressed in tights telling you in a bad English/pirate accent where the turkey leg stand is. Sheer, dumb bliss. I … [Read more...]

Here’s the only real solution to our gun addiction
We could easily start to cool the mass shooting fever that has gripped America. It isn’t rocket science. We could, for instance: Ban assault weapons and define the term broadly. The assault weapon ban that Congress let lapse in 2004 is a good start but doesn’t go nearly far … [Read more...]
What we need is a debate on debates
I watched part of the big debate this week. Can you believe Hannah Brown picked that lousy dog-food jingle singer over the other guy? Hey, what can I say, “The Bachelorette” was way more educational than the first Democratic debate. At least with “The Bachelorette,” I … [Read more...]
How to survive The Donald in two easy steps
For their health and well-being, if nothing else, Democrats and others who are horrified by Donald J. Trump have to stop doing two things: Being shocked by him. Expecting a savior to do something about him. The latest, greatest example is his stunningly racist … [Read more...]
Come Heller high water … the CBD edition
Come Heller high water … Before I get started, a quick disclosure: This column contains CBD oil. Why? Because I’m pretty sure that by law everything has to contain it nowadays. My problem is I have no idea what it is or what it’s supposed to do. Please don’t enlighten me. I … [Read more...]
