  • Mitt’s Money

    According to Pablo Torre of Sports Illustrated, “by the time they have been retired for two years, 78 percent of former NFL players have gone bankrupt or are under financial stress because of joblessness or divorce.” The problem isn’t just confined to professional football players. Torre’s article says that within five years of retirement, an estimated 60 percent…

  • Hatred

    I’ve been a Mormon for over 40 years. I served an LDS mission to Arkansas, Tennessee and Mississippi. I affectionately refer to the area as the buckle of the Bible Belt. I grew up in Texas which is also part of the Bible Belt. At the earliest age I was exposed to anti-mormon literature. On…

  • Rush’s Immigration Laws

  • Friends of Scouting

    This article is about a guy who’s all bent out of shape about Friends of Scouting. I’ve collected Friends of Scouting for 15 years. I’ve heard all the comments. Two of the most common are: Does any of this money go to the young women? Does this money stay local?   I don’t know all…
