For many years, Britney Spears talked a lot about her religion and faith. Raised in Louisiana, she was a product a Southern Baptist upbrining inthe Bible Belt environment. And she had her peak during the Y2K hysteria, the end of the Millenium and beginning of a new one as well as the Holy War thatContinue reading “Deliver Britney From Real Evil”

Fandom Breeds Prejudices

The irony of people upset over casting of characters in movies and TVs by women and/or BIPIOC is that many of the works are supposed to be about the minorities prevailing over oppressive forces. The controversy has hit streaming series The Lord of the Rings: The Ring of Power in which Ismael Cruz Cordova, ofContinue reading “Fandom Breeds Prejudices”

Queen Elizabeth’s Death Poses Serious Questions Of Legacy

For a while it seemed Queen Elizabeth II was going to live forever. She had been on the throne for 70 years. It must’ve been a hard role for a young woman in her mid-20s to move into even if she was raised in the Royal Family. While I offer my sympathies and condolensces toContinue reading “Queen Elizabeth’s Death Poses Serious Questions Of Legacy”

We Need To Talk About Herschel Walker

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”

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.

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. But even before it went into production, it was an issue of controversy for years. When Bret Easton Ellis published the novel by the same nameContinue reading “Dissecting ‘American Psycho’”

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. Branch is a singer-songwriter and musician in her own right as she was a member of The Wreckers. But thisContinue reading “We Need To Talk About Michelle Branch”

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”
