President Obama says that the White House is the country's house. And the trillion dollar spending bill the Senate passed last week is the country's bill.

Minnesota coach Brad Childress tried to pull Bret Favre out of the game the Vikings lost to Carolina last night, but Favre refused to be benched and continued playing. Hey, that's the way George W. Bush ended up being president! And we lost that game.
Israeli archaeologists have unearthed the remains of a house in Nazareth that dates back to the time of Jesus. Among the findings in the house were pieces of clay, chalk, and a book titled, "So You Want To Be Magician".
About Me
- Wendel Potter
- My writing career took off in 1979 and it continues to roll. I've written comedy for Joan Rivers, Jay Leno, Rodney Dangerfield, and the Yakov Smirnoff Show. I was a weekly columnist for a Nebraska newspaper for 10 years. Several of my short stories have been published in a national magazine, Woman's World. This blog is a return to old columns dear to my heart and new essays that are currently ideas on a close horizon. I hope we can become friends.
