Welcome and Be Afraid

WisPolitics is a top notch publication, and yet they still offered a Blue-collar Kid from Janesville space to write big thoughts and small opinions.

Religion and politics – the 2 topics every bartender will caution against discussing – but what else adds so much flavor to life? The key, I think, is to be capable of feeling passionate about your values and opinions, while maintaining one’s composure when confronted by morons.

So, welcome to Free Will, where religion and politics mixed with a few cocktails combine to expose the morons amongst us.

If you are unsure where you land on the circular spectrum of wisdom, then I invite you to send me your comments for determination. And it is possible that you might be so wise that your knowledge carries you full circle, back to being an incomprehensible moron – like Hunter S. Thompson.

As for myself, I offer these nuggets of absolute wisdom;

• In our politically-correct-hyphenated-culture, I am a Norwegian-American;
• Ed Thompson is our modern version of Will Rogers;
• Government corruption is the worst kind;
• Nobody is owed anything;
• Someone I’d like to drink with – Jeffrey Feiger;
• Someone I have drunk with – P.J. O’Rourke;
• I like both kinds of music, Country and Western;
• In America, fishing and bowling is a sport;
• Best Movie Lines;

What you see is a guy who never measured a man's success by the size of his WALLET!

I wasn't in a class room, hoping I was right, thinking about it. I was up to my knees in rice paddies, with guns that didn't work! Going in there, looking for Charlie, slugging it out with him;
While PUSSIES like you were back here partying, putting headbands on, doing drugs, and listening to the GODDAMN BEATLE ALBUMS! OH! OH! OH!

• The Chicago Tribune's John Kass it our best modern muckraker;
• The NFL is our real national pastime;
• Followed by NASCAR;
• Oprah is never wrong;
• Teddy Kennedy is never right;
• The best time of day is when my 2 & 4 yr boys go to bed..and when they wake;
• Be American, Buy American;
• Thank a soldier/veteran when you pass-by;
• Being married isn’t as bad as I once envisioned;

See you in the Funny pages…..
