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”
Remembering Alex Kintner
Okay, I know Alex Kintner isn’t a real person. But his character died on this date, June 29, in the summer blockbuster Jaws. For years, photos have circulated online that show a darker death of the character. This is believed to be the work of Verna Fields, the film editor who won an Oscar forContinue reading “Remembering Alex Kintner”
Ignoring The Problem Until It Swims Up & Bites You On The Ass
When I was working in Wagoner County, Okla., a suburb of Tulsa, the sheriff and county commission chair at the time got upset someone had written “Here I sit giving birth to another Democrat” on the wall in the men’s restroom on the western wing first floor of the county courthouse They had spent aContinue reading “Ignoring The Problem Until It Swims Up & Bites You On The Ass”
World Cup Proves We Need To Coexist On A Global Scale
While economists are saying the host cities for the World Cup might have a shortfall, I think what we’ve received in the last two weeks has been priceless. People from other countries are excited to be in America and Americans are actually excited to have them. Most of the host cities are the blue citiesContinue reading “World Cup Proves We Need To Coexist On A Global Scale”
A Few Good Mechanics
I have to brag a little on my mechanic. Earlier this year my AC compressor went out and I had been putting it off and off to get it fixed as I didn’t really need it during the winter. Then my water heater at home went out so I really needed to get that fixedContinue reading “A Few Good Mechanics”
We Need To Talk About Mens Mental Health Awareness
June is Mens Mental Health Awareness Month. I’m not surprised if you don’t know. Mental health is taboo too much with men. No one really wants to talk about it until someone goes nuts and shoots up a school, church, parade, concert, movie theater, etc. And then it briefly gets mentioned for a few daysContinue reading “We Need To Talk About Mens Mental Health Awareness”
Keep On Strokin’ Clarence Carter
Forty years ago during the waning years of the Satanic panic, a lot of songs were still under scrutiny by several Christian and/or parental groups. Therefore, a song like “Strokin’” would’ve never played on the radio or even MTV but only late at night. Clarence Carter recorded the song for his album ‘Dr. C.C.’ onContinue reading “Keep On Strokin’ Clarence Carter”
