    Unionism 101

    I was brought up in a union household. The clothes we wore, food we ate and the roof over our head were all paid for by union earned money. I followed my father into the Structural Ironworkers trade. At that time, it was known as a father-son local as far as getting into the work, although this...

    NFL Draft 2012

    Awhile back, my wife and I stopped in for a drink at a local tavern and they had a gazillion TV's going. They had a bowl game going on one of them and as I watched, a certain LB, was in on every tackle it seemed. I didn't know who he was, but they put his name up on the screen. His name is Luke...

    DISGUSTED

    What a bunch of malarkey. The Giants couldn't make it to the game to play the Vikings. As many of you know, I'm an older man. Years ago, I worked up on the "Iron Range" in Minn. That's well north of Minneapolis where the game is to be played. It was a matter of pride up there that nothing ever...

I've been saying as much in letters to the editor over a period of time and I've gotten some impassioned responses from teachers and my wife has been taken to task ove my views...

    Plot ditches

    That was some fair piece of flying by that pilot who hit the flock of geese flying out of LaGuardia airport in NYC yesterday, bound for Charlotte. Went up around the Bronx and came back down heading south to ditch in the Hudson River around 44th St. Never went above 3200 ft. A White guy of...

    titan receivers

    The Titans must be gluttons for punishment. They're bringing back Justin McCareins, recently cut by the Jets. This guy can't catch the ball for love or money. Unbelievable that guys like this just keep getting another, and another and another chance. Then of course, with the Titans, there's...
