Famous radio mouthpiece knows why the Las Vegas gunman did it. While surfing my morning news feed I tripped across a new theory about the motivation driving Las Vegas mass murderer Stephen Paddock. Since investigators have not yet uncovered any agenda on Paddock’s part – nothing political, not religious, didn’t hate Country music, etc. – people are going to speculate.

Donald Trump isn’t an anomaly. He isn’t an outlier. He isn’t a blip on the radar of history. He’s the very embodiment of the black, ignorant American soul. [Apologies in advance. These issues may seem unrelated to some of you, but the dots connect perfectly in my head. I’ll let you know when the big leap is about to happen.]

Antibiotics, antidepressants, blood thinners, ACE inhibitors, calcium-channel blockers, digoxin, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, painkillers, anti-seizure drugs, cholesterol drugs, diabetes drugs and more – it’s all in your drinking water. Here are five steps to help clean it up. We’ve all read and heard a great deal about pollution in our society – carbon emissions in our air, toxic chemical dumping poisoning

As qualifying wraps up this week, we’re staring at the very real possibility next year’s FIFA World Cup will be staged without Lionel Messi and/or Cristiano Ronaldo. That the greatest competition in world sports, save possibly the Olympics, would fail to include the men most regard as the two greatest players alive (and certainly two of the greatest of all time), seems

Ralphie May, the comedian many of us first encountered on Last Comic Standing Season 1, is dead at the way-too-young age of 45. Today for Saturday Video Roundup we present one of his greatest routines.

Controversy over how to divvy up the revenues means uncertainty in England. The outcome of these deliberations could move us closer to a European SuperLiga including the big six Prem clubs (and maybe more than that)… A couple years ago I wrote about the prospects for a European football SuperLiga. This is hardly a new idea (with Marca suggesting it’s a when-not-if, and perhaps

Five years ago the traveling Da Vinci’s Machines Exhibition visited Denver. During his time, the technology didn’t exist to actually build many of his inventions, but it does today, and this show gives shape and form to dozens of those wondrous ideas.

I’m glad the US Attorney and FBI are cleaning up the big-money college sports cesspool, but that’s a drop in the bucket compared to America’s real corruption. First, good on the FBI and US Attorney’s office. But I’m glad someone with a platform larger than mine is pointing out the obvious:

The best photo of a total eclipse you’ve ever seen doesn’t tell 1% of the story. The only way to communicate the reality is through digital processing technology. How very postmodern. August 21, 2017: Easterbrook Campground, SE Wyoming. This was my first total solar eclipse. To say it was life-changing … well, if you’ve seen totality you know what I

Because 10 wins isn’t good enough. As a committed Husker Hater, I can’t stop laughing over this: Nebraska fired athletic director Shawn Eichorst on Thursday, calling for a higher level of competitiveness five days after the Cornhuskers football team lost to Northern Illinois. University chancellor Ronnie Green, who did not hire Eichorst, said in a statement that while Eichorst made

What will the islands and the Atlantic and Gulf coasts look like in a generation? I’m not a climate expert, so I want to tread cautiously here. That said, our recent spate of catastrophic weather has raised some uneasy questions in my mind. As I write this Hurricane Maria is lashing Puerto Rico. It is, in the estimate of some
