It’s Time To Shit Or Get Off The Pot

On Jan. 6, 2001, a dozen members of the Congressional Black Caucus spent less than half an hour trying to stop the certifications of the 2000 election results. Then Vice-President Al Gore, who was the President of the Senate and had won the popular vote of the 2000 election, did what he had to do.Continue reading “It’s Time To Shit Or Get Off The Pot”

How ‘The Chronic’ Changed Music

When it comes to rap music, there are two periods – BC and AD. BC means “Before Chronic” and AD is “After Dre.” I remember when Chris Rock was talking about his rap comedy CB4 and the studio brass wanted to have a rapping white grandmother, like in The Wedding Singer. Rock balked at theContinue reading “How ‘The Chronic’ Changed Music”

Trumpty-Dumpty Has Another Great Fall

There is no way to discribe the horrible “major announcement” that Donald J. Trump, a former President, made this past week. If it had been a Saturday Night Live skit, I thimk it would’ve been more believable. Last month, he announces his third Presidential bid. Even though was impeached twice, something no President has everContinue reading “Trumpty-Dumpty Has Another Great Fall”

It’s Been 10 Years Since Sandy Hook And We Haven’t Done A Goddamn Thing

Today, Dec. 14 may not be as memorable as 9/11 mostly because one political party decided a long time ago not to make much mention of it. And yet, they’ve been exploiting the deaths of 9/11 for political gane since day one. If you don’t know, it was on Dec. 14, 2012, some worthless pieceContinue reading “It’s Been 10 Years Since Sandy Hook And We Haven’t Done A Goddamn Thing”

Tis The Season Of The Double Standard

Let me start off by saying I offer my most sincere condolensces to the family and close friends of Kirstie Alley. I may not have agreed with her on some things she said these last fews year (and she said a lot). I’m no monster. Cancer is a hard way to go for anyone andContinue reading “Tis The Season Of The Double Standard”

Another One Bites The Dust (But Will It Be The Quick End Or Slow Beginning?)

The greastest irony of the fall of the Soviet Union is that it all started because of a clerical error – a misunderstanding. On Nov. 9, 1989, a live broadcast in East Berlin held by Gunther Schabowski, an official with the Socialist Unity of Germany in East Berlin, was speaking about how they would allowContinue reading “Another One Bites The Dust (But Will It Be The Quick End Or Slow Beginning?)”

Casey Anthony Documentary Hard To Tell ‘Truth’ From ‘Lies’

There’s a lot of things to unpack from the three-part Peacock docuseries Casey Anthony: Where the Truth Lies. But the biggest one might be – why the hell she hated 14 years to finally say all this? Casey has lied so much over the years, it’s hard to tell when, if at all, she isContinue reading “Casey Anthony Documentary Hard To Tell ‘Truth’ From ‘Lies’”

Meet The New Boss, Worst Than The Odd Boss: Christian Extremists Are Getting A Whole Lot Worse

I’m not the least bit surprised that Donald Trump had a meeting with Nick Fuentes even though the twice impeached former President is denying it. Fuentes, only 24, is the new face of Conservative Christian extremism along with Jonathan Shelley, the so-called pastor of Stedfast Baptist Church of Watauga, Texas. Fuentes has been spewing thisContinue reading “Meet The New Boss, Worst Than The Odd Boss: Christian Extremists Are Getting A Whole Lot Worse”

Marketing Fiasco Fails Short Of Real Thing In ‘Pepsi, Where’s My Jet?’

I remember the commercial and the controversy. PepsiCo was running a promotion to get people to buy more products, they could collect points to send in for merchandise with Pepsi logos. The idea that people would want to wear a Pepsi jacket or sunglasses didn’t appeal to me but maybe it would to some otherContinue reading “Marketing Fiasco Fails Short Of Real Thing In ‘Pepsi, Where’s My Jet?’”
