Does hockey suck? If so, why? What was the late Jerry Falwell’s first day in heaven like? Are people getting more rude? What’s it like to live in Chicago? All of these questions, and... More > more, are answered within this book. Well, OK, maybe not really answered, but at least discussed.
Of course, all of it comes from the potentially insane mind of Bryan W. Alaspa. Bryan spent time as a self-proclaimed “self-syndicated” columnist. Almost daily he would write a column and post it around the internet. At times the columns were funny. Other times they were insightful. Many times they were angry.
