2010 Score Card

Yeah, yeah, we know we have to do our score card for 2010. And, we know we didn't do as well this year as we did last year. But, you take the bad with the good. So, we'll own our results proudly. As we look back, 2010 turned out to be the year of voter outrage, Chilean miners, LeBron James, and huge unemployment. We did predict some of that, but let's take a closer look and see exactly where our inexpert predictions landed.<< MORE >>

History Unfolding

Since we usually do a look back at the end of each year, we are going to start this year’s review by re-posting an article that was posted to Pat Dollard’s blog about two years ago. We will warn you, it is controversial. The author, who is identified only as “TPS,” makes a comparison between modern America and Nazi Germany. With two years of data to analyze, let us know what you think. Was TPS correct?<< MORE >>

Overwhelm the System

Barrack Obama is no fool. He is not incompetent. To the contrary, he is brilliant. He knows exactly what he's doing. He is purposely overwhelming the U.S. economy to create systemic failure, economic crisis and social chaos -- thereby destroying capitalism and our country from within. << MORE >>

Predictions for 2010

It's January 1, 2010. As per our long-standing, two-year tradition, it's time to make some predictions about the year to come. As we disclaimed last year, we don't really know if these things will happen, but given our 7.5 out of 10 track record from our 2009 Score Card, it's possible at least 75% of the following will come true.<< MORE >>

2009 Score Card

As 2009 comes to an end, it's time for us to look back on our predictions for 2009 and see how well we did. Overall, 2009 turned out to be the year of health care, economic downturn, the War in Afghanistan, and Michael Jackson. We did predict some of that, but let's take a closer look and see exactly where our inexpert predictions landed.<< MORE >>

Farewell Tim McKernan

If you ever watched a Denver Broncos game, you will know the incredibly enthusiastic fan people in Denver simply called "The Barrel Man." He showed up at Broncos games for decades wearing nothing but a barrel, a cowboy hat, and cowboy boots. << MORE >>

A Wish for a Leader

I wish you could know how it feels to run with all your heart and lose -- horribly. ... << MORE >>

Farewell Michael Jackson

Today, the world lost a musical genius and legend. I lost the person I have used as an example of the perfect combination of talent and heart since I first started talking about the Rudy Syndrome in 1993. Michael Jackson's contribution to the world of music is profound and will never be forgotten.<< MORE >>

This is Your Life

This morning, the pastor at church delivered a sermon titled, "This is Your Life." He came at the issue slightly differently than we do, but essentially, the message was the Rudy Syndrome, in spades. His point was simple: this is your life, what are you doing with it?<< MORE >>
