Hey, Genesee County taxpayers: You just lost $150,000, got nothing for it, and the governmental body that gave it away isn't going to tell you why. Nice, huh? The board in question is the Bishop Airport Authority, which most people don't even know is a city/county board, … [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...]

Come Heller high water … the Independence Day edition
Come Heller high water … This will not surprise you but I disagree with our tinhorn dictator about his Fourth of July celebration. Turning it into a military parade is so juvenile, so beneath us, so … Soviet. We’re better than that. Or used to be, anyway. I like … [Read more...]

The Murch: Heckuva fight the other night, eh?
Did you see the vide of the fight in Lakewood, Colorado? No? Count yourself lucky. In another sign the apocalypse is upon us, parents got into a full-on brawl at a baseball game … between 7-year-olds. No, that is not a typo, 7-year-olds. One side got upset by a call made by the … [Read more...]
I’m apparently rockin’ the old school lifestyle
At 58, I like to think I’m still a hip, happenin’ guy. But as it turns out, I’m not. Out of 20 “old school” behaviors that a USA Today article says positively no one does anymore, I still do 12. Possibly 14. But definitely not more than 16. OK, it was 18. For … [Read more...]
