Harper Valley PTA, or U.S. Senate? Hard to Tell Sometimes
Not too long ago, I shared a few parodies of songs, ala MAD Magazine from back when I was a kid (and back when it didn’t cost around $12 for one issue!). Several of you were kind enough to say you enjoyed that – and are about to learn something my bride of 40+ years…
Read MoreIt’s The World We Live In
The world we live in now ain’t what it used to be. A recent national story supposedly detailed the difference between Biden and Trump, using the California fires and California Gov. Gavin Newsom. The writer’s take was that Biden stood tall with Newsom and pledged the full weight of the federal government for assistance .…
Read MoreClock Keeps Ticking
One of the folks I hold in high regard reached out a few days ago. Like many of us, he’s upset over the current political reality that is today’s country. He – in my humble – very much hopes that Trump can make things better, but also understands that it’s a matter of time before…
Read MoreColts Aren’t Measuring Up to Snuff
For those 10 or 12 of you who follow these scribbles, you know that once in a while I wander off into sports. Sorry. As an old sportswriter who wore out several pairs of Weejuns on courts, fields and arenas, sometimes I just can’t help myself. This hot mess that is the Indianapolis Colts has…
Read MoreRevisiting an Old Friend – the Bubbling Caldron
About a hundred or so years ago – or so it seems – I created what I thought was a fun little character named The Bubbling Caldron. I was a young sportswriter at the time and used Bubbles to do some off-the-wall prognosticating on high school football and basketball games. After I left the sports…
Read MoreTimmons Gets an Odd Phone Call
How do these people find me? I was sitting at work, minding my own business. Not bothering a soul . . . which translates to the fact that I wasn’t writing a column causing the woke crowd more dilemmas. The phone rings. “The Times, Timmons.” “I am Goose, Dr. Goose if you will. I bring…
Read MoreMore on School Shootings and Ideas
By: Tim Timmons Wow! Last week’s scribbles on school shootings brought back a ton of responses. From the anti-gun folks who want to shoot me – does anyone notice the irony there? – to folks who agree a new idea is needed, to several who shared some of those new ideas (although to the gentleman…
Read MoreYou Asked About Hammer, Bubba . . .
A few weeks ago, I shared in this space that some of you have asked about my old pals, Honest Hoosier, John Hammer and Bubba Castiron . . . and why you haven’t heard much from them of late. So I foolishly said that if you wanted to catch up with the boys to let…
Read MoreFallout Over Olympics and Diverse Lifestyles
Like a lot of people, I was outraged at the opening ceremonies of the Olympics. In fact, I was going to rant and rave a week ago in this space, but what was it we were taught as youngsters – stop, take a breath, count to 10 . . . OK. With the games just…
Read MoreThings Are Hard – And That’s OK
I might’ve mentioned once or thrice that I very much enjoy watching a pastor online named Allen Jackson . . . No, you can relax. This isn’t a column trying to convince you to turn over a new leaf and follow God. First off, most of you probably did that a long time ago. And…
