Let The Good Times Roll
Some people might consider this kind of gay, but I’ve been keeping something akin to a daily journal since 1995. I don’t write in it every day; just things I want to remember. So, periodically, I will mention what I did on a certain day throughout the years. This Day in Benny History 1996: 5 […]

I was thinking about James Cameron yesterday, and how he claims to have found the 1st Century tomb of Jesus Christ. Then I started asking myself why don’t we send this genius into the mountains of Pakistan and ask him to find Osama bin Laden? At a minimum, he should use his expertise to tell us the father of […]

Waiting in the hallway for the court doors to open, I found myself surrounded by idiots. I was also the only Caucasian in sight; not that there’s anything wrong with that. One guy announced that he had bus tickets for […]
