Yesterday, I read the sad news that actor Patrick Swayze died. While he hasn’t been as visible over the years as he was in the 1980s and early 90s, I do think he is a Hollywood icon that didn’t get as much credit as he deserved.
For one, he is …

I would not necessarily describe Bill as being the most popular guy in America, but I will give him credit for saying exactly what is on his mind. It is acutally irrelevant to me, if I agree with his opinion, or not regarding various political issues. Either …

When the Minnesota Vikings signed Brett Favre to be their starting quarterback this year, a lot of people argued they were the team to beat in the NFC North. I disagree.
