Imagine if your state legislature, in a bid to protect mom-and-pop bookstores, barred Amazon.com from shipping into your state. Or if your town council, worried about local dairy farmers, prohibited grocers from selling milk. Or if lawmakers banned the sale of potato chips and candy bars on Sundays in an effort to shrink our waistlines.

RIP Hollywood’s Sword MasterBy Warner Todd Huston Tuesday, January 3, 2012
We already have our first passing in Hollywood. You won’t likely know his name, but Bob Anderson, 89, passed away just into this new year on the second of January (1922-2012).
Like I said, the name may not mean anything to you but you’ve most assuredly seen his work. Anderson, you see, was Hollywood’s most famous sword master.

Pop! Goes the Cork on New Year’sBy David White Wednesday, December 14, 2011
There’s nothing like popping the cork on a bottle of Champagne when the clock strikes midnight on New Year’s.

The gift-giving season is in full swing.

Abuse of Power: A Savage Adventure:
By Dr. Phil Taverna Monday, November 14, 2011
I have not heard Michael Savage on the radio for a while. It was always great to catch him in the late evening while driving a long distance. He was great company. So I was quite surprised to see that he actually published a novel. You would think he would do like most and write a book about political stuff and it would be a non-fiction book. But this is not the first best-seller that he has written. This book is titled: Abuse of Power.
Finding Inspiration in the pages of William Kevin Stoos’ The Wind and the SpiritBy Judi McLeod Thursday, October 20, 2011
When he’s not out on assignment like the Bring-Back-the-Spittoon project that followed his latest Canada Free Press (CFP) column Chew on This: Confronting Anti-Tobacco Chewing Senators at the World Series, ‘Hugh Betcha’ has an entire other life.
The lovably rascally ‘Betcha’ is Catholic author/columnist William Kevin Stoos.
The Wind and the Spirit: Stories of Faith and Inspiration, second in the Stoos short stories series is now listed on Amazon.com.
For the world weary and the Recession-bound these inspiring short stories are a veritable pick-me-up and a refreshing reminder that the Almighty never gives up on us.

People don’t hitchhike anymore.
At least not like the glory days of the ‘60’s and ‘70’s when hitchhiking was a popular, fun and even a safe thing to do.
But it went away. Colin Flaherty wondered where it went.

When U2 singer Bono used the F-word on live TV, thousands of complaints flooded the FCC. Their response? They ruled that this word was acceptable on broadcast TV, except in sexual situations. The Supreme Court is now preparing to review such decisions.
