Jerks of the Week: May 9, 2022 Jerks of the Week: Jerks of My Niece’s Birthday Party It’s truly amazing how quickly time flies. I recently attended my niece Mila’s 5-year-old birthday party. I naturally planned to write a Jerks of the Week entry about it, which made me realize that I previously wrote about…

Jerks of the Week: May 2, 2022 Jerks of the Week: Verizon Frustrations I have an expensive Verizon plan. I could probably go with something cheaper, but I’d always like to have cell service. Granted, I never leave my house, but what if I need cell service on the one occasion in which I do?…

Jerks of the Week: April 25, 2022 Jerks of the Week: Goodbye, Masks! Between soaring gas prices, ridiculous inflation and a collapsing stock market, we haven’t had much to celebrate recently.

Jerks of the Week: March 28, 2022 Jerks of the Week: Mouse Fighting Most of you know me as a football Web site owner. Some of you may even recognize me as a sports journalist. Almost none of you, however, know that I am a world-class champion mouse fighter. In fact, I’d be willing to…

Jerks of the Week: March 21, 2022 Jerks of the Week: Welcome to My Frustration Unless you completely ignored the bar near the top of this page, you know that you can get an ad-free version of this Web site for $7.99 per month. I explained why I wanted to offer this alternative via the…

Jerks of the Week: March 14, 2022 Jerks of the Week: Old Bikini Lady and the Germany Consulate I haven’t been going to the gym much since my son Conrad was born. As you can imagine, my schedule is much busier now that I’m a father of a newborn. Granted, I’m not doing nearly as…
