Ken Ober passed away over the weekend. You may recall Ober hosting “Remote Control,“ back in the days that MTV actually played music.

Florida State football coach Bobby Bowden made much of his reputation with a gutsy call at Clemson. That may be the same place that cements his exit from coaching.

In a tough economy, I’m here with some money saving ideas for you. My wife captured this picture of me employing Fred’s official call-waiting and three-way calling technology.

I laughed out loud - no, I didn’t type LOL somehwere online - when I heard The Weather channel was going to start showing movies. Some of the choices (Misery?!?) strike me as a little odd.

Shooting a rocket to explode on the moon. Wasn’t that a SPECTRE plot in a James Bond movie? And where was 007 Friday when the moon was under attack?

The International Olympic Committee voted Friday to add golf to the competition for the 2016 Olympics. I only have one question and it only requires one word: why?

Governor Mark Sanford has talked to two national media outlets that are out with stories Wednesday. In one article, he is said to describe himself as “zen-like” while in the other he says “I think I now know what Sarah (Palin) may have been feeling,“

I stumbled across a movie called ‘Zero Hour!‘ over the weekend and laughed for more than an hour. Because the movie ‘Airplane!‘ was taken directly from it, ‘Zero Hour!‘ is the most unintentionally funny movie I’ve ever seen.

I’ll be off the air for the next several days for vacation and I think the state could use a little time away as well. At the very least, South Carolina deserves a break. It’s been a pretty rough summer for the Palmetto State.

President Obama, Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr. and Cambridge police Sgt. James Crowley plan to sit down for a beer Thursday. I say they need to save a seat at the picnic table for Norm (“Cheers”) Peterson.

Let’s mark the 40 year anniversary of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walking on the moon with the man who described their every move back on Earth. We have many video clips of the late CBS News anchor Walter Cronkite.
