Lucky me… I started my, “I remember Craig” story Thursday before my computer crashed and left me high and dry with an hour’s worth of missing-in-action, unrequited  Craig Glazer love. My only alternative:  start completely over. Ugh. Needless to say, … Continue reading →

They can dish it out, but they can’t take it… The funny thing about power – besides absolute power corrupting absolutely – is the people who possess it tend think of themselves as inarguably correct most of the time. It … Continue reading →

Brace yourselves, here it comes… “Craig passed away last night,” says longtime friend and former Chiefs star Ted McKnight. “He had a heart attack and passed. I don’t think his heart could handle everything that was going on.” “Everything” ranged … Continue reading →

Being a good friend isn’t always what it’s cracked up to be… Such seems to be the case with Westport businessman Bill Nigro.  From the get-go – for the past several months – Nigro has been Johnny-on-the-spot there for his … Continue reading →

Whatever happened to halfway unbiased journalism? When it comes to politics it’s long gone. As evidenced by the local newspaper of record’s relentless, blatant efforts to diminish Kansas gubernatorial candidate Kris Kobach. Right down to running an unflattering, sinister pic … Continue reading →

This is just weird… I’ll make some calls and see what I can learn, but there’s something rotten in Denmark. In a manner of speaking. Because since the dawn of time, the alt weekly (turned monthly) known as the Pitch … Continue reading →

It’s about time… Ever since KU got its panties in a bunch over Mizzou bailing on the Big 12, leaving the Jayhawks high and dry, the oldest rivalry in Division One college sports “west of the Mississippi” has been missing in action. Missouri … Continue reading →

Took a while, but… With Lawrence and Topeka in the rearview mirror, at long last I’m back in the Cowtown. And with a little luck, the folks in the Philippines who work for the local newspaper will have my delivery rectified by Monday … Continue reading →

  Forget right and wrong… It’s always wrong to  take the law into one’s own hands and kill people. What’s more, there are always going to be nut cases – regardless of their affiliation – who will perpetuate this kind … Continue reading →
