Don’t Hate the Technology This morning on the Big Show, we ask the question, “How Has Texting Gotten You in Trouble?” We are singling out that mode of technology, but really, thousands of years ago, you could have asked a similar question to a caveman – “How did drawings on the walls of the caves […]

If you’re usually running late and forgot to set your clock ahead an hour, you were really late for church on Sunday. But if you’re normally on time and a stickler for punctuality and forgot to spring forward, your day was probably ruined. A lot of us put pressure on ourselves when it comes to […]

Everyday we read about an outrageous thing a child or teenager has done, from having affairs with their teachers to hitting their parents with shovels when asked to remove snow from the driveway. It’s gotten so crazy that the regular stuff our kids do seem minor in comparison. But most of the time, we aren’t […]

So, even though February, the month of love, is over, we’re still examining love and relationships on today’s show, and it makes sense to me.

Whether you loved his new movie, “Madea Goes to Jail,” or not, you saw it this weekend or someone in your family […]

President Barack Obama has signed the stimulus package, and once again, many of us self-appointed political pundits are theorizing on why it’s right or wrong for our government to bail out corporate America. After all, the argument goes, greed, irresponsibility and plain mismanagement of money led to the financial demise of most of the failing […]

I don’t know about you, but for me, now that President Barack Obama holds the highest office in the land, the holiday President’s Day has taken on a whole new meaning. Before, the main thing that got my attention on President’s Day was that the banks were closed, and, depending on my cash flow, that […]

Remember back when you were first in love? You had a good job, but you lost it because you took a two-hour lunch so you could take him to get his unemployment check? Being in love the first or even second time around is like any other thing we’re new at. It’s exciting, it’s scary, […]
