I’m not a chocolate fan. Now, now… I didn’t say I “hate” chocolate, or I “don’t like” chocolate… I’m just not a fan. Maybe my disdain for this confection comes from being exposed to such cheap drug-store brands like Russell-Stover or Whitman’s as a young lad. Or maybe it had… Read More ""Cadbury Mini Eggs Are My Weakness." Or, "1,080 Ounces of Heaven.""

Nobody could say they didn’t see this one coming! The Citizens Voice newspaper is reporting that Lackawanna County Commissioner A. J. Munchak and former commissioner Robert “Bobby” Cordaro are just about ready to get papers in the mail from the feds. Munchak was interviewed by the feds Wednesday afternoon and… Read More ""Movin' On Up." Or, "I Wonder How A. J. & Bobby Look in Orange Jumpsuits.""

I can’t think up one of my two-title-titles for this post. I can’t even muster up enough words to express my angst for the justice system in Luzerne County. Shortly after 6pm this evening, The Times Leader and Citizens Voice newspapers broke yet another store of a judge gone bad.… Read More "Another Black Eye for Luzerne County Justice"

Sometimes the craziest things spark a memory. Whether it be the smell of burning leaves that reminds you of fall and spirals you into seasonal depression or the obscured back road in the middle of nowhere that reminds you of the first time you tried out back-seat yoga in your… Read More ""Polkas, Bartels and Some Dusty LPs."

It’s now official. ABC has more power than the President of the United States and it’s just one more reason why I’m beginning to worry about the future of our great nation. With the President’s State of the Union Address coming up, rumors started flying around the Internet that the… Read More ""As A Nation, We're Lost." Or, "What Would Reagan Do?""

Checking In On The Judge The plot thickens in the accident investigation surrounding former Luzerne County President Judge, Chester Muroski. The man in the black robe slid off a slippery Route 115 in Bear Creek Township earlier this week damaging his car and taking out a mailbox. He vehemently denies… Read More "“Checking in on the Judge, Jesus Buys Only the Best, and Another Goes Down." Or, "Helen, We Need Shorter Titles.""

So I’m sitting outside my “office” which is on the ocean at the Boca Beach Club next to the Boca Raton inlet, when I see the Goodyear Blimp flying around. Normally this is nothing out of the ordinary since it’s based in Pompano, it flies around almost daily. But today… Read More "Whoa! A Whale!"

He almost made it. “He” is former Luzerne County President Judge and now Senior Judge, Chester Muroski and he almost made it into retirement without making headlines. But slick roads and “one, maybe two” drinks did him in. I was going to let Chester’s moment in the spotlight pass by.… Read More "“One, Maybe Two at the Bisto.” Or, “Hide Your Mailbox, Here Comes the Judge!”"

Ok, so I’m a couple days late bidding 2009 a fond farewell. Well, it’s not a “fond” farewell. It’s more like good riddance, thank God it’s over and lets move on.
