In twelve years of blogging, I’ve only endorsed one local political race. That was in 2015, when Dan McCoy ran against Dan Egan for Albany County Executive, and I still remembered when Egan – who at the time was President of the Albany City School Board – shut down my high school, Harriet Gibbons High…
Read MoreThe spooky story of “Trust Your Buddy…”
Last night, I was interviewed by a fellow WHCL on-air personality and current Hamilton student Kate Miller (no relation). Her show, “Hamilton Haunts,” airs on Wednesday nights at 1pm on WHCL, and I encourage you to tune in. Over the years, Kate has found what she considers evidence of the college being a repository for…

Read MoreThe “Lesbian Mafia” are coming for you!!
I cannot believe I’m actually blogging about this. But it’s too funny to pass up. So, in Yelm, Washington, somewhere near Olympia and an hour’s drive south of Seattle, a man was arrested after a fight in a Walmart parking lot.

Read MoreDid Donald Trump say “good” or “go ahead”?
Let’s get a few things straight. I do not support Donald Trump for President. I believe that he and his cabal of toadies, sycophants and wannabes have destroyed America. And I know that saying this out loud has cost me connections with family members and longtime friends. You know what? The soul of this country…
Read MoreK-Chuck Radio: A Playlist for Rudy Giuliani and Jeffrey Toobin
So yeah, in the past few days there have been incidents involving various political people who, for some unknown reason, have a desire to, shall we say, give themselves a little self-pleasure. The first instance involved New York columnist and CNN pundit Jeffrey Toobin, who decided to expose his penis while he was in the…
Read MoreThere’s no Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown…
I can remember a time when there were Peanuts TV specials that aired in prime time. They were special events. They were must-see television, especially for kids like me.
