Seriously, Keep It In The Church

I didn’t know who Whitney Lynn was before this weekend but I knew the type. She’s part of the loud evangelical social media personalities who assume that every heavily populated place is their own altar. They mostly do this on planes, terminals and subway/elevated commuter trains. But at least Lynn is honest about why sheContinue reading “Seriously, Keep It In The Church”

Please Help If You Can

I’ve been going to The Lift Coffee Bar for over five years. It’s a nice relaxing restaurant in Tahlequah, Okla. When you frequent a place a lot, you develop a nice rapport with the staff. That’s why I’m asking you to help a worker and mother of two who has been diagnosed with breast cancer.Continue reading “Please Help If You Can”

Sending Peace And Love To The People Of Japan Following Earthquake

Despite our differences, let’s remember to keep the people of Kumamoto, Japan in our thoughts as they are struggling following an earthquake that struck on Tuesday measuring 7.1. There are 23 people reported dead and over 60 people reportedly injured.

No Slap On The Wrist For Violent Action Of Forced Patriotism

The recent viral video of an older man slapping a younger man on the back of the head at a Chicago Cubs game at Wrigley Field is going viral. People say the younger man was slapped for not standing for the National Anthem? Now for those defending the older man, what if he slapped a womanContinue reading “No Slap On The Wrist For Violent Action Of Forced Patriotism”

RIP Sam Neill, Gone But His Massive Work Isn’t Extinct

By the time he appeared in Jurassic Park, Sam Neill had already made a name for himself appearing in critically acclaimed movies like A Cry in the Dark (or Evil Angels as it’s also known), Dead Calm and The Hunt for Red October. But he still wasn’t a household name like Harrison Ford who StevenContinue reading “RIP Sam Neill, Gone But His Massive Work Isn’t Extinct”

Et Tu, McDonald’s? Et Tu?

The McDonald’s in Tahlequah, Okla. has its flags at half-staff. Lindsey Graham passed away over the weekend and Trump ordered flags flown at half-staff which I’ve seen at government buildings and memorial parks but McDonald’s? Yes, Graham was a vet of the USAF, but Robert Mueller was a Marine vet and Jimmy Carter was aContinue reading “Et Tu, McDonald’s? Et Tu?”

Graham Leaves Horrible, Questionable Legacy In Congress

First off, let me say “Go fuck yourself!” to all the people saying we shouldn’t be celebrating the death of Sen. Lindsey Graham. The President of the United States (and I hate writing that when I do) cheered the deaths of Robert Mueller and the murder of Rob Reiner. His administration called Renee Good aContinue reading “Graham Leaves Horrible, Questionable Legacy In Congress”

Red Card Reversal Leaves An Orange Stain On World Cup Match

In his 1974 novel Dead Solid Perfect, Dan Jenkins wrote the line “Anything you can’t fuck up, you’ll shit on.” I’m sure he couldn’t anticipate the rise of Trumpism, but that applies to the current President. I feel the Red Card against Folarin Balogun was bullshit. But it happens. Bad calls are always made byContinue reading “Red Card Reversal Leaves An Orange Stain On World Cup Match”

USA All The Way

I was never a big fan of the World Cup or soccer in general. But the World Cup fever that has invaded America has brought some light during the darker times. Watching last night’s match between USA and Bosnia/Herzegovina was made more exciting by the Spanish-speaking commentators. And let’s face that was a bullshit callContinue reading “USA All The Way”

Have The Semiquincentennial Celebration You Deserve

With July 4 on a Saturday for America’s 250th celebration and the U.S. this far in the World Cup as everyone seems to love what’s been happening the last few weeks, it should’ve been a greater moment of celebration. Yet the Freedom 250 Great American State Fair is on its way to being a disasterContinue reading “Have The Semiquincentennial Celebration You Deserve”
