I live about halfway along a very long country road that stretches for four or five miles. I also live at the top of a huge incline past a country store. People are always pulling up into my driveway to stop and turn around. Or it’s just to recheck their directions to see if theyContinue reading “Those Who Live In Fear Will Always Harm Others Around Them”

‘Selective Outrage’ Appropriate Title For Chris Rock Netflix Special
While Netflix has been making bank with many Netflix specials featuring comedians talking about how they’ve been canceled (i.e. Dave Chappelle), it seemed inevitable they’d lure Chris Rock away from HBO (which used to be the go-to place). Originally airing as a live special in the early part of March, Rock, now 58, seems almostContinue reading “‘Selective Outrage’ Appropriate Title For Chris Rock Netflix Special”

“Woke” And “Wokeness” Are The New Buggerbears Of Prejudice And Bigotry
I’ve often thought that very vocal racists and bigots are really the most genuine people. Why? Because they tell you everything you need to know about them. Someone like white supremacist David Duke or far-right politian Pat Buchanan are the type of people who are probably the same in public as they are around friendsContinue reading ““Woke” And “Wokeness” Are The New Buggerbears Of Prejudice And Bigotry”

Trumpism Is Bringing Down The Republican Party In Real Time

Ok, so there are many white people who aren’t affiliated with the Republican Party and there are many black people who consider themselves Republicans, even though I don’t know why.

Andy Kaufman could’ve had it all for a while. His struggles during the 1970s with his act on comedy stages left people bored and upset. But he was able to find humor by impersonating Elvis Presley before it became popular.

Our Love/Hate With Certain Athletes
On Monday morning, I woke up to get ready to go to a doctor’s appointment and all I heard was stories about how unprofessional Angel Reese had been. Louisiana State University and Iowa were playing in the women’s national championship of college basketball with LSU prevailing 102-85. As they were walking off the court ReeseContinue reading “Our Love/Hate With Certain Athletes”
The Idolatry Of Donald Trump
Since the indictment of Donald Trump was on the first day of the 2023 Major League Baseball season, it reminds me of a scene from the 1994 movie Little Big Leauge. A 12-year-old is left the owner of the Minnesota Twins following the death of their previous owner, his grandfather. When his manager comes toContinue reading “The Idolatry Of Donald Trump”
