There used to be an old joke when I was growing up that went like this – “What do you call 1,000 lawyers at the bottom of the sea? A good start.” Sometimes the number varied from a few hundred to a 10,000. Either way, the joke was we have too many lawyers in thisContinue reading “Why People Didn’t Care Much About The OceanGate Titan Disaster”

If Hunter Biden Broke The Law, Then He Should Be Held Accountable
You’d think Republicans would be happy that Hunter Biden is finally going to be convicted in federal prison. A friend of mine and I joked that the cocaine orgy they’d be throwing this week would be like the one in Eyes Wide Shut. But they’re not happy. Of course, they’re not happy. Republicans don’t reallyContinue reading “If Hunter Biden Broke The Law, Then He Should Be Held Accountable”
‘And Tango Makes Three’ Is A Perfect Read For Father’s Day
The most outrageous things about And Tango Makes Three is why so many people are wanting to ban the book. Don’t they realize it’s based on a true story that happened in the late 1990s at the Central Park Zoo? People who have often tried to ban books don’t seem to have much intelligence. AnyoneContinue reading “‘And Tango Makes Three’ Is A Perfect Read For Father’s Day”
‘Reality’ Presents A Double Standard
Did the powers that be at Warner Bros. Discovery actually anticipate the 37-count indictment against Donald Trump or was it just one of those lightning in a bottle moments that works where life imitates art sometimes. Remember how the Three Mile Island incident happened shortly after The China Syndrome came out? Or how Wag theContinue reading “‘Reality’ Presents A Double Standard”
Will Trump Take The GOP Down With Him Or Will They Finally Cut Him Loose?
Depending on what happens on Tuesday, June 13 at the arraignment in federal court for former President Donald J. Trump will more than likely determine the future of the Republican Party. At the arraignment, Trump could be ordered jailed even though his lawyers will agrue a bail so he can continue to travel and holdContinue reading “Will Trump Take The GOP Down With Him Or Will They Finally Cut Him Loose?”
Pat Robertson Is Finally Dead, But His Legacy Will Live On, Unfortunately
There’s an old saying that goes the only reason someone is still alive is “Heaven doesn’t want ’em and Hell is afraid that they’ll talk over.” Pat Robertson, who was a Southern Baptist minister and TV personality, along with a one-time Presidential candidate, finally died on June 8. For many people, he wasn’t a manContinue reading “Pat Robertson Is Finally Dead, But His Legacy Will Live On, Unfortunately”
‘Reading Rainbow’ At 40
There’s not a school child alive who’s had some teacher or educator throw some book in front of them talking about how great it was only for them to struggle to get through it. Even now in 2023, I wonder why most schools still don’t teach many works that have been printed since the 1960s.Continue reading “‘Reading Rainbow’ At 40”
Pride & Acceptance Or Pandering & Profit?
June is Pride Month in support of the LBGTQIA community. Lately, conservatives and Christians have gone on a rant against Target, Bud Light beer and even Chick-fil-A, the corporate equivalent of their grand old racist uncle, for being “woke.” There once was a time when corporations and businesses didn’t acknowledge this community. You may rememberContinue reading “Pride & Acceptance Or Pandering & Profit?”
‘Gender Queer’ Follows One Person’s Path Toward Happiness And Fulfillment
Note: To discuss this, I will use the Spivak pronouns the author uses which are gender-neutral. People like Maia Kobabe have existed for centuries. But e have been labeled as “tomboys” or “butch” where are derogatory and misleading. It’s hilarious for a society such as ours that wants to censor anything and everything that revolvesContinue reading “‘Gender Queer’ Follows One Person’s Path Toward Happiness And Fulfillment”
Please Remember Those No Longer Here This Memorial Day
Today is Memorial Day. One of my peeves is when people say “Happy Memorial Day.” There’s nothing to be happy about people who were killing in action, or died as the result of their war wounds. And I’m talking about those who became addicted to alcohol or drugs to help with their pain. I’m alsoContinue reading “Please Remember Those No Longer Here This Memorial Day”
