If there’s one thing you can say for dogs, it’s that they are the most loyal pets a person can have.  I mean, I like my cat and all, but she won’t travel across a war zone to reunite with me the way Nubs, a wild Iraqi dog, did when he was separated from his owner, Major Brian Dennis.  The journey of Nubs from random stray to beloved pet is a remarkable one.  The inspiring story has also been recorded in the upcoming book Nubs: The True Story of a Mutt, a Marine & a Miracle from publishers Little, Brown Young Readers.

I have to say I love those loyal pet stories.  The fact that Nubs made it across a very dangerous country after having survived a serious leg injury is one of the more incredible animal journeys since the Survivor Dog made it 4 months stranded on a tropical island.   I’m glad that Nubs and Maj. Dennis have been reunited in America after such a long, strange journey.  It’s nice when good people (and dogs) have happy endings, isn’t it?

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
