Fun on Friday: These Are the People Who Are Going to Save Us?

As the coronavirus pandemic unfolds, a lot of people seem to be putting an awful lot of faith in government officials to save them. I don’t know. That just seems less than ideal to me.

Fun on Friday: Coronavirus Lockdown Edition

OK. I gotta be honest. Being effectively under house arrest isn’t very much fun. But it’s the world we live in now, so might as well make the best of it. I mean, I can at least still legally ride my bike. Not on the beach, mind you. But other than that, the outside isn’t […]

Fun on Friday: Sometimes You Have to Laugh at the Absurdity

Last Thursday, we embarked on a journey through the Southeast for business purposes and to check up on our kids who live in Kentucky. In case you were wondering, it is as crazy out there as you might imagine if you’re sequestered in your home following events through the news or social media. Don’t worry; […]

Fun on Friday: A Politician Wasting His Own Money

We all know politicians waste money, right? You’ve seen the stories about $640 toilet seats and bridges to nowhere. That kind of stuff enrages me. But it was kind of fun watching a politician waste his own money. I’m talking about Michael Bloomberg, of course.

Fun on Friday: Truly Awful Campaign Slogans

Well, it’s campaign season. I hate campaign season. And this current crop of Democratic hopefuls isn’t doing anything to change my feelings. These people are about as bland as a bag of sawdust.

Fun on Friday: Scared of Gold??

Fun on Friday: You Forgot, Didn’t You?

Psst… It’s Valentine’s Day. You forgot, didn’t you? Well, if Valentine’s Day did slip your mind, and you happened to stumble across this post early enough, you’re welcome. Now get out there before it’s too late. And if it is too late, well, I’m sorry for your pain. Hope the couch is comfy.

Fun on Friday: My Trip to the Office

This week I went to the SchiffGold office. Now, you might think, so? I mean, you run the SchiffGold website. What’s the big deal? Well, it was a big deal because this was the first time I’ve ever actually been to the office. And it’s the first time I’ve met the SchiffGold crew in person.

Fun on Friday: Beware of Fake Feds Selling Fake Gold!

If some guy was trying to talk you into buying gold, would the fact he was an ATF agent make you more comfortable with the transaction? I’m just going to say upfront, my answer is an emphatic no.

Fun on Friday: Plastic Gold

My stepdad used to grump about everything being made out of plastic. This was a thing with him even way back when I was a little kid. “All these plastic toys… back in my day toys were wood and metal.” It really got under his skin when they started using plastic in tools. He called […]
