This blog has been considered by many top media critics as one of the most thought provoking blogs in America. Some of the thoughts it provokes include: Why am I reading this? Who are “the Citizens” and are they taking their medications? And the most frequent thought we provoke, does he get paid to write this garbage?
Well, we’re going to completely ignore two of those and tell you who “the Citizens” are and why you should become one of them. The Citizens are the regular readers of Carry On Citizens. …

I can’t think of anything creative or funny or even remotely interesting to say. Sometimes you stare at the screen and it just stares back. But, I have some tasty excerpts from Kansaska to fall back on.  I hope to start posting sneak peeks from Seven Dead Flamingos very soon!
“Wendy, have you ever heard of Portis?”
“Is that the disease where your skin turns yellow?”
“No, that’s jaundice. Portis is in Kansas.”
“Oh. Do people in Kansas have yellow skin?”
I thought about the question for a moment. “I’m going there very
soon. I’ll let …

As I type this, I’m listening to Pink Floyd’s Learning to Fly and contemplating an hour drive south to Bloomington. Buffalouie’s represents all that is good in this world. Darrin was so kind to post this photo for me and now I’m getting vaklempt. (Check out the comment thread in my last post.)
Darrin’s stint as a Buffalouie’s earns him a spot in the Citizen’s Hall of Fame and the undying affection of my cardiologist. When I die, I don’t …

Sorry I’ve been silent for the last week. I’ve been busy with the Tree of Lights Campaign for the Salvation Army.  It’s been a tough year for most of America’s charities. Most people don’t realize that during presidential election years, charitable giving goes down. This year, it was even worse due to the record setting fundraising by the Obama and McCain campaigns. Toss in the economic crisis and most of America’s charities are struggling. So, remember them this Christmas season!  Click here to learn how you can help the Salvation …

Last Saturday, police in Schererville, IN pulled over a woman for speeding and discovered she was intoxicated. Sad, but common. Even more sad, she had her one year old son with her. More sad, and still common. Everything that happened after that, not so common.
Police say the father showed up to take the kid home. He was drunk, so they arrested him. A little later, the grandparents show up. They had been drinking too. Since the grandmother wasn’t over the legal limit, they didn’t arrest her, but police escorted them …

…until pitchers and catchers report. I’ve been in the “no baseball dumps” for a few days and haven’t posted anything.  IU basketball (or what’s left of it) starts tonight, so that gives me some comfort. In the meantime, check out the Uni Watch blog by Paul Lukas for some intrigue about the history of the MLB Logo.
Carry on, Citizens!

I’ve been negligent in posting the last few days. I’ve been caught up in the World Series. And tonight, I’ve had the Colts to distract me as well. The World Series just got suspended due to weather until tomorrow and the Colts are losing to Tennessee. So, I don’t have a lot to share tonight. Except I must say that BenJarvis Green-Ellis is quite possibly the coolest (and longest) name in football. Somebody is missing a huge endorsement opportunity there.
Carry on, Citizens!

Brian Groce and I have yet another side project: TwitHeads.com.  Check us out tonight as we do play by play for the Presidential Debate.  Think of it as MST3K meets Sports Center meets CSPAN. We may get deported for this.
Carry on, Citizens!
