Guess what’s coming to the US this Easter?

What’s the worst that could happen?

Donald Trump and Betsy DeVos

If you think Betsy DeVos is going to ruin your local schools and cause the complete ruin of the American education system, then maybe the federal government has too much influence. Parents and local school boards should be able to work together to provide a great educational experience for each and every child. If that means a charter school or school of choice, then local school districts should be able to offer that. My son benefits greatly from school choice.

Pairing Halloween Candy with Wine

You’re too old go to trick-or-treating, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have some fun on Halloween. Maybe you teach your children about taxation by taking some of their candy each year? If you do, then you need to know what wine to drink with what kinds of candy.

Halloween Wine Pairings

I don’t know much about wine, I’m more of a beer drinker, so I can’t opine on most of these. So, wine drinkers, what do you think? Would you eat these candies with the suggested wines?

Jon Dorenbos Deserves to win America’s Got Talent

Jon is the best act in the finals of America’s Got Talent! He deserves to win, he’s amazing.

Let’s run down Jon’s competition and what I think about all of them.

  • Grace VanderWaal, I hate ukuleles. I don’t get why America voted her into the finals.
  • I absolutely hate Brian Justin Crum. He’s ruined every 80s song he sang, hate the arrangements including the one he sang last night, Man in the Mirror.
  • The Clairvoyants just scare me. Why are Australians on an American show? Shouldn’t they be on Australia’s Got Talent?
  • Tape face is just weird, I hate mimes. A Londoner doesn’t deserve to win America’s Got Talent.
  • Linkin’ Bridge is the only other act that earned the win. I loved their performance of Free Bird in an earlier round. Who would have thought 5 black guys from Kentucky could do justice to a Lynyrd Skynyrd classic.
  • I like Sofie Dossi and “Sal the Voice”, but not as much as Jon.
  • Laura Breten is not a true opera singer. At her age she doesn’t have enough life experience to really put emotion into her songs.
  • Victor Kee was OK, but I think his make-up makes him a little weird. He’s another foreign performer who is on the wrong show.

The Punch Heard Round the Cycling World

Chris Froome Fined After Punching Fan

The defending Tour de France champion was fined for punching a fan during Stage 8, but was it warranted? The NBC Sports team discusses.

The fine was only $225 so it’s just a slap on the wrist because the TDF organizers know the riders must be able to defend themselves.

What did Chris have to say?

When you look at the extra footage that wasn’t originally available, you can see how dangerous the chicken’s behavior was.

Here in the Bible belt this isn’t surprising. We give directions based on landmarks and one that almost always comes up is the local Baptist church.
