If I hear one more sports announcer say, “Are you kidding me?” I am going to quit watching sports all together and take up a nonsporting event like bowling.
I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn’t than live my life as if there isn’t and die to find out there is.
It is absolutely ridiculous how much they applaud during the State of the Union address. The man is not a genius. Everything he says is not earth-shattering.
When the Cubs were in the playoffs, not a day went by without someone in Quickly criticizing them. Then, after the Cy Young, Rookie of the Year and Coach of the Year were announced, not a word. Where have all the whining Sox fans gone?
If you don’t like the quality of bagging at the store, you can always bag your own.
With all the bad news in the papers, loved the article about new White Sox announcer Jason Benetti overcoming adversity to land his dream job. It’s a feel-good, inspiring story that even this dedicated Cubs fan can appreciate.

Barack Obama’s last State of the Union. I do like the sound of that.
If my company treated its customers the way the South Shore treats its passengers, it would be out of business. Stop in the middle of the route, major breakdown. Let’s just leave them there to wait. Somebody should be fired.
Considering the millions spent on ISTEP testing that turned out to be a bust, our politicians prove once again that they are masters at wasteful spending.
Even though I find it extremely comical that my far-right-leaning Republican pastor preaches about having compassion and mercy, I just can’t laugh.
Just when you think Texans couldn’t possibly get any more anti-American, their governor calls for a constitutional convention to consider nine separate amendments to the Constitution. This is the same Constitution, presumably, they keep accusing Obama of trashing.
