It didn’t take long for Donald J. Trump to openly criticize President Joe Biden’s stutter following the State of the Union address. Yes, Biden has a stutter. So do millions of other people. My cousin had it bad growing up. Jeff Goldblum built his entire acting career over stammering and stuttering his lines even thoughContinue reading “Nex Benedict’s Death Says More About How We Despise Each Other”

Happy St. Patrick’s Day (But Please Play It Safe Today)
It’s St. Patrick’s Day today. For many people, it’s a day to drink a lot. It’s funny how alcoholic beverage consumption is the only thing to our bodies we secretly endorse and encourage. No one would tell you to down a six-pack of Coca-Cola or drink six expressos at one time. You can’t smoke cigarettesContinue reading “Happy St. Patrick’s Day (But Please Play It Safe Today)”
It’s OK To Stop And Smell The Flowers This Spring (And Get Some Rest)
On Friday afternoon, I was at home after a long morning and afternoon of appointments and running errands. I laid down to take a nap and felt like I was going to conk out in no time. Except, I didn’t. I guess my back was hurting too much and I laid there with my eyesContinue reading “It’s OK To Stop And Smell The Flowers This Spring (And Get Some Rest)”
‘Bitconned’ Worth Its Weight
While watching Bitconned, the documentary on Netflix, about a cryptocurrency scam, I had to stop it to double-check I wasn’t watching a mockumentary. Everything about it seemed to preposterous to be based on a true-crime case. But it’s the real deal Holyfield. Centra Tech was a cryptocurrency formed in south Florida in the 2010s byContinue reading “‘Bitconned’ Worth Its Weight”
‘Lessons In Chemistry’ Serves A Dish That’s Worth Learning
There is one scene in the TV series Lessons in Chemistry that’s directed and acted in such a way, it’s so wonderful. Elizabeth Zott (Brie Larson) bursts into the office of TV producer Walter Pine (Kevin Sussman), and begins to chide him for not providing an adequate school lunch for his daughter and suspecting thatContinue reading “‘Lessons In Chemistry’ Serves A Dish That’s Worth Learning”
Oscar’s Most Cringeworthy Moments
As glamourous and star-studded the Academy Awards can be, it doesn’t mean every year, things go off without a hitch. Part of the problem is that a producer has a radical idea that backfires in the worse way. Famed producer Allan Carr basically sunk his career 35 years ago when he opened with an actressContinue reading “Oscar’s Most Cringeworthy Moments”
Happy International Women’s Day
I want to wish each and everyone of you a Happy International Women’s Day. I know my politics may be left-leaning but I’ve discovered that women of all ages have a very diverse way of thinking. My mother is mostly political conservative but some would argue she was a liberal feminist if they spoke toContinue reading “Happy International Women’s Day”
The Political Rematch We Didn’t Want
Well, Nikki Haley has officially dropped out. That leaves Donald J. Trump as the only Republican candidate for President this election year. And that may be more damaging that he and the rest of the party don’t realize, for one simple reason – not a lot of people like him, especially in his own party.Continue reading “The Political Rematch We Didn’t Want”
Leap-Year Lizards!
It almost makes sense the same week the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear the argument that former President Donald J. Trump has immunity from prosecution is the 33rd anniversary of the infamous beating and arrest of Rodney King by four Los Angeles Police officers. The 1991 incident which occurred this day, March 3, wasContinue reading “Leap-Year Lizards!”
Richard Lewis: Dark Prince Of Comedy
There’s a saying that’s it better to laugh than it is to cry. Richard Lewis lived a life where he turned his own personal pain and neurosis into comedy. Just like another famous comic named Richard (as in Richard Pryor), we laughed because he made us want to laugh. To call Lewis neurotic with hisContinue reading “Richard Lewis: Dark Prince Of Comedy”
