Even been on one of those dinners from hell, a gathering you’re absolutely obligated to attend, that would otherwise be perfect in every way — except that there’s one prickly guest at your table who blathers on forever and basically ruins the meal for everyone?

Read MoreVan Morrison quit caring about the music business or record sales nearly a half-century ago. Consider that this is a man who didn’t even bother to show up for his own induction into the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame.
The New England Patriots have been accused of cheating in an AFC playoff game last season, and quite possibly multiple games played over a much longer period of time.
The infraction consists of team-supplied game balls being deflated from their normally-prescribed air pressure. This action which was intentional presumably gave the Patriots quarterback and its offensive players a much better grip on the ball, and an unfair advantage.
Apparently, as difficult as this is to believe, current NFL rules say that all respective teams are responsible for supplying game balls to their own offenses when they take the field. The league rule which was worked fine for 80 years before that, was changed back in 2006 to allow this, and most teams have probably been doctoring footballs for their offensive players ever since. The scandal finally blew up in a big way because it’s New England, and everyone is either insanely jealous or hates head coach Bill Belichick and would love to see him twitch at the end of a hangman’s rope.
Accordingly, I have just one word to say about the so-called “Deflategate.”
That one word is as follows…..

Are we finally splintering from the evil epoch of organized religion’s incontrovertible power over vast populations, on the verge of entering a new age of reason?
In Ireland, the answer is — yes.

That name probably won’t resonate with many people. So, let’s correct that anonymity now.

Read MoreThe NBA’s San Antonio Spurs have won five, count ’em F-I-V-E, world championships since Gregg Popovich took over control of the team nearly 20 years ago. That’s right up there with the Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers, two of the most celebrated, and far more revered, franchises in pro basketball.
Read MoreTonight’s absurdly overhyped championship fight doesn’t interest me in the last, except as an opportunity to make money, and I expect to make a few easy dollars sitting around and doing nothing, a skill I’ve pretty much mastered at this stage of my life.
Read MoreI don’t pretend to have much if any, a special insight into the civil unrest happening right now in Baltimore, and frankly, I’m a little perturbed that so many like me with vastly limited subject knowledge, no exposure whatsoever to the problems, and preconceived dare I say prejudicial attitudes of urban blight in America now posture themselves on authorities on events they know little or nothing about. So quit pretending.
