I love the movie The Pursuit of Hapyness it so appropriately captures all that is possible in this great country, but there is another side of that pursuit as well. I think the statement below says it much better than I, so I shall let you read on.
In America I saw the freest and most enlightened men placed in the happiest condition that exists in ...

Will Smith’s “secret” to his success:
“Here’s the thing: I’m not afraid to die on a treadmill. I will not be outworked. You may be more talented than me. You might be smarter than me. And you may be better looking than me. But if we get on a treadmill together, one of two things is going to happen: you are going to get off first or I’m going to die. It’s really that simple. I’m not going ...

1. After nearly 100 years of both the automobile and the Tour de France the French still can’t drive. As proven by the horrific carnage in the photos below. Hoogerland went into the fence, but amazingly got up to finish the stage and is still in the race.
2. You can indeed forget how to ride a bike. As proven by ...

Happy Father’s Day to all the guys. In the spirit of fun I’ve collected this list of “Man Laws” from across the Internet, modified a few and deleted some. Guys, give this to the woman in your life to help her understand why you are the way you are. Of course, this will likely land you in hot water, but you’d get there anyway so what’s the difference.
Have a great day!
Man Laws
1. Men are not mind readers. We have no ...

What do you get when you combine Elton John, lawn gnomes, Michael Cain, a dash of Dolly Parton, Ozzy Osborne and Hulk Hogan with Shakespeare and a modern take on Romeo and Juliet? Gnomeo and Juliet of course (just saw it on DVD). What a great movie. Kids will love it and it has a ton of adult level humor to make it fun for parents too. If you like Elton John you’ll love the sound track. There are two outstanding original songs ...

It’s no secret that Kansas City, MO has been kicked in the teeth for the last several years by our State line neighbors KCK, but things maybe a changin’. Google announced yesterday that KCMO will also get Google’s ultra high speed Internet connectivity. This is a huge political win for KCMO. Great Job! Now let’s just hope that I get it and if I do I’m kicking Time Warner to the curb so fast (1GB/sec to be exact) that their ...

The joy of having a 6 and 7 year old. I’ve been humming the Care Bears theme song for two days now. It’s like an episode of Fringe where there has been something hypnotic placed into the song to melt your brain. Watch it I DARE YOU!

Okay, this is one of my hot buttons. Not only does the border war include 2 huge arch rivals MU and KU, but 2 cities KCK and KCMO. Once again KCK has managed to turn on the cooperative charm and work with companies that can really impact the economy and area. Today Google announced that the winner of the Google Fiber project is none other than KCK. Good for them. I know I can't blame this one on Sly, but ...
