A View From the Cheap Seats

Nothing fancy here folks, just a lot of words - artfully-arranged.; Some of you regular readers have asked if my columns were on-line, so you could send them to friends and family who don't live in Examinerland. Chances are they won't be family and friends much longer after reading my schtick, but here ya go. I'll post the weekly tirade here and, hopefully, some older stuff. Maybe even add a few things that haven't been in the mighty Examiner as time goes by. We'll see. Hope y'all enjoy and I look forward to your feedba
