I’m going to be blunt. Herschel Walker might just be the absolute worst candidate the Republican Party has ever supported for elected office. He’s worse than Trump, who I think never really wanted the position, but just was going to use it to further his business deals. He’s worse than Sarah Palin, who thankfully lostContinue reading “We Need To Talk About Herschel Walker”

To Loan Is Human; To Forgive Is Divine
Let me begin this post with telling you a story. It must’ve been about 26 years ago around October 1996 when I was a senior at Calhoun High School in my home town of Calhoun, Ga. I had finally rounded my selections to three or four colleges I was considering. I knew I needed copiesContinue reading “To Loan Is Human; To Forgive Is Divine”
Corporal Punishment Is A Solution In Search Of A Problem
Corporal punishment is child abuse. I’m just going to get that out of the way. I don’t care if it’s one swat on a child’s bottom with a paddle or whipping them with a belt. The student has to be publicly shamed at a school for an infraction that the teacher and/or administrator sees necessitatesContinue reading “Corporal Punishment Is A Solution In Search Of A Problem”
Dissecting ‘American Psycho’
American Pscyho opened in the spring of 2000 to good reviews and a modest box office of over $34 million considering it’s relatively low budget of just $7 imillion.

We Need To Talk About Michelle Branch
I’ll be honest. I had no idea who Michelle Branch was before she made headlines recently as she was arrested for allegedly assaulting her husband, Patrick Carney, who is a drummer for The Black Keys.

Cheney’s Loss Is The End Of The Republican Party
Mark your calenders because Aug. 16, 2022 was the day the Republican Party officially died. It may have the same name but it’s no longer the party that many people have remembered. I mean, it’s been going down this long road for a while. If Dwight Eishenhower was part of the Golden Era of theContinue reading “Cheney’s Loss Is The End Of The Republican Party”
Back To School…But For How Long?
By now, just about every school district in America has begun a new school year or at least preparing for a new school year. It’s been over 25 years since I was in school and I can say I’m glad I got out when I did. Every now and again at college, I’d hear someoneContinue reading “Back To School…But For How Long?”

Winning Isn’t Everything…
By now, you’ve probably already seen the video of Tulsa little leaguer Isaiah Jarvis comforting Pearland, Texas little league pitcher Kaiden Shleton who was visibly upset over beaning Jarvis in a recent championship game. If this was the majors, they’d been fighting on the mount with the other players coming in for a brawl. InContinue reading “Winning Isn’t Everything…”
