Morning all, welcome back to the scuttlebutt.  Pull up a chair and let’s talk.   Another mass shooting, at a school, another mental health issue, and another semiauto weapon.  More screaming from the left that we revise the outmoded and antique constitution, and get rid of the second amendment.   More screaming from the right, that it wouldn’t solve ...

  Welcome back to the Scuttlebutt.  No, sadly, this isn’t a movie review of the new Wonder Woman. I haven’t gotten to see it yet, due to domestic commitments.  Rest assured it’s on my list, but this is the busy part of the year for the wife and I, and we must carve out some time ...

  Welcome back to the Scuttlebutt. As I write this, my daughter and her family are wrapping up a visit from Indiana where they make their home.  We had a great visit (except for her breaking her ankle on Father’s Day afternoon! I love my children but unfortunately, they get their bad ankles from yours surly).   I’ve ...

Good morning and welcome back to the Scuttlebutt.  Pull up a bucket to sit on, and let’s talk.   The Coward county sheriff’s office is the gift that just keeps giving, at least if you’re a pundit.   I’m not an expert on administering police departments.  I do however have 10 years in Law enforcement and 20 years in the ...

  Welcome back to the Scuttlebutt.  I intended to do a piece on my trip to Russia as my first post-vacation piece, but I’m going to do this as a “special”. This should be outside my normal print cycle, but so much has been said about the late senator that I think I need to provide ...

  Good Morning and welcome back to the Scuttlebutt!   I find it amusing that the same crew that thinks “The Post”, a movie about publishing the data from five thousand plus pages of Top Secret documents, data that got American Troops killed, and arguably cost us the war in Vietnam was a “brave and heroic act”.  While ...

  Welcome back to the Scuttlebutt.  It’s the morning of 4 July 4, 2018 as I write this.  I have a cup of coffee at my left hand. Please join me in some, or if it’s later in the day, feel free to have something stronger if you’ve a mind.   Back nearly 250 years ago, one of ...

Crossfit boxes around the world have differing policies when it comes to “open gym” time - a set period when members are allowed to use the facility outside of class for anything they want. Most boxes offer an open period surrounding class times because members want to supplement their workouts with accessory work, stretching, and ...

Good Morning and welcome back to the Scuttlebutt! Cop a squat, and lets talk for a second about tax cuts.  So, I’ve read a lot of claims lately about how this proposed tax cut currently being negotiated before a final up down vote by both houses is a “Bad thing” ™.  “It was passed in the ...

Good Morning and welcome back to the Scuttlebutt.  Pour a cuppa joe, and let’s talk.     This guy hosted the Emmys.  I mention that, because based on the ratings, no one saw the damn show, so you may have missed it.  Well, truth be told, you didn’t miss anything, but therein lies the tale.   Yes, Colbert hosted ...
