Once in Awhile You Get Shown the Light in the Strangest of Places if You Look at it Right Assumptions are like assholes: Everybody has them and they are usually full of shit. We all know that whenever you “assume” anything, you just end up making an “ass” out of “u” and “me”, but somehow […]
Beautiful, Unethical, and Dangerous
Beautiful, Unethical, and Dangerous I really don’t like sitting in traffic. Yes, I know that is true for just about everybody else on the planet as well, but seriously, I don’t like sitting in traffic. Unfortunately, the drive I do frequently along the corridor of I-70 from my house in the mountains down to the […]
Killing Me Loudly (The Death of Music in the Modern Era)
Killing Me Loudly (The Death of Music in the Modern Era) As one enters into their sixth decade on the plant, they become keenly cognizant of their detachment from modern pop culture and its manifestations in the realms of artistic expression. It becomes increasingly evident that you are quickly sliding into that territory of being […]
What’s it Worth to ‘Ya?
I must acknowledge here and now that I did not see this coming. I probably don’t write three sports columns a year in TRUTH: In 1000 Words or Less, let alone three in a row, but this week we will do just that. But sports are all about breaking records, so let’s go for it. […]
When Your Heroes Turn Out To Be Assholes
When Your Heroes Turn Out to be Assholes I love sports as much as the next guy, but I don’t remember the last time I wrote about sports two weeks in a row in TRUTH: In 1000 Words or Less. But then Brett Favre had to go and be the ultimate douche that he really […]

C is for Punt Ah, I can smell it in the air now, can’t you? As the aroma of fallen leaves and my girlfriend’s zucchini harvest bread come wafting through my house, I can tell that Fall is coming. And who doesn’t love themselves some Fall? Sure, it means the end of the long, carefree […]
Lindsey Graham’s Abortion Bill Faux Pas
Graham’s Abortion Bill Faux Pas Oh, Lindsey, you just couldn’t help yourself, could you? You had to go and make a giant mess for your party, now didn’t you? On Tuesday, Sen. Lindsey Graham dropped a giant, Amber Heard-sized turd on the Republican Party by introducing a bill proposing a national ban on almost all […]
The Erosion of Cultural Norms
The Erosion of Cultural Norms Is it just me, or does there seem to be a whole lot more assholes out there? Just the other day, I was riding my bike, as I am want to do on a spectacular Summer afternoon, trudging my way up a long, arduous stretch of uphill single track when […]
The High Price of Higher Education
The High Price of Higher Education College was, simply put, the best four years of my life that I’ll never remember. Oh, I’m sure some meaningful indoctrination took place in there somewhere and that I stumble around the universe with a modicum of that instilled knowledge locked away in the deep recesses of my brain, […]
Why Adam Kinzinger Should be the Democratic Running Mate in 2024
Why Adam Kinzinger Should Be the Democratic Running Mate in 2024 In last week’s TRUTH: In 1000 Words or Less, I argued for why Joe Biden should not be the Democratic nominee for President in 2024 and then left off with a dramatic cliffhanger for this week’s column, suggesting that I would reveal who should […]
