Here's a little insight into the process for writing this column: During the week, I look for stuff that makes me want to yell at someone. I'm not really a yeller; I manage to keep my temper under control most of the time, but, occasionally I'll see or hear something ...

This week, I'm indulging in a little dreaming, some spitballing, thinking out loud. Put this in the category of throwing out ideas for the sake of conversation and argument. And, if it works, send me ten percent of the gross. You may have heard in the past couple of ...
