Ok, I confess that I’m a closet Eric Hogue listener. I know Eric occasionally has some unusual guests but today took the cake.

Review Gordon Ramsey’s Street Burger
I told my girl that I wanted a burger and a beer. I’m not much of a drinker but it just sounded good. We hopped in the car and drove for about 20 minutes to somewhere I’d never been before. We parked next to a McDonald’s—not a good omen—and then went for a walk. We…

Yep, I hereby dissent. We should stay out of the war in the Middle East. (In general, we should stay out of anybody else’s wars including Ukraine. In fairness, I am trying to be consistent.)

There is a saying in life, don’t let a group of whackos hijack the group you belong to. Well maybe not, but there ought to be. Anyway, I said it. Well, what happened this past week in the GOP House Caucus is exactly what that saying of mine is all about. The House Democrats and…
