A Brandt Randt – My Cup of Dumb Runneth Over
Why do I read comments on news stories? Â They just make me crazy. Yet I’m drawn to them like an unlucky city slicker panning for gold. They’re almost as bad as comments about radio goings-on on the SOWNY or QUAD CITIES message boards.

Needling a Closed Case
I believe that that some conspiracy theories are probably based on facts. Â Maybe there was a cover-up of aliens at Area 51. Â Maybe owners of fast-food – no, I’m sorry, quick-service restaurants – are putting additives in the grub that make us crave more fat and sugar.
