I'm too young to have served in Vietnam. Too many lives were wasted there for no reason. Gen, William Westmoreland (known by the left as "Waste More Land") once defended eviscerating a hamlet in Vietnam by saying "We had to destroy the village in order to save it." Gen. Eric Mangini might be ...Published on: 14th September, 2009
We just got fooled again. For 30 minutes of football, the Browns, in the words of former head coach Butch Davis, played their guts out.

Fans all over the ...Published on: 20th June, 2009
In politics, some people are simply on a first-name basis. Barack. Hillary. Newt. Everyone knows who they are, and nothing more needs to be said. In Greater Cleveland, we have LeBron. Enough said.
