Night Court is one of my favorite TV sitcoms. I think next to The Golden Girls and Seinfeld, I’ve seen each episode repeatedly over the years and never grow tired. I think the show helped frame my sense of humor when I was younger. The show focused on the strange characters and stranger cases thatContinue reading “Markie Post Was The Glue That Held ‘Night Court’ Together”

Domestic Abuse Isn’t For Entertainment
This is something that has gnawed at me for years. As someone who loves movies but has also been a crime reporter, it seems that Hollywood feels there is a double standard when it comes to domestic abuse. Back in June, reports came out that Chris Brown was again accused of domestic abuse and violenceContinue reading “Domestic Abuse Isn’t For Entertainment”
American Exceptionalism Is Hurting Disabled People
It’s no wonder the three groups who seem to be mostly criticizing Simone Biles and her bold stance to stop competing at the Tokyo Olympics are racists, dudebros and some Boomers. I give Boomers a lot of crap, but I will say many Boomers I’ve seen are showing support. And thank you for your supportContinue reading “American Exceptionalism Is Hurting Disabled People”
It’s Not All Church Picnics And Rodeos
Let me preface this by saying, that in November of 2019, I was hired at the last minute to appear in the newly released Stillwater, but due to a transportation issue, I couldn’t make it to the set. That being said, I haven’t seen the movie yet and I like both Matt Damon as wellContinue reading “It’s Not All Church Picnics And Rodeos”
Simone Biles Is The Face Of Change To Athletics
In 1996 at the Summer Olympics in Atlanta, gymnast Kerri Strug, only 18, suffered an injury to her foot, in what become now known as an unnecessary competition as they had already clinched the gold. But she was more or unless forced to do it. At that time, Simone Biles wasn’t born yet. Her motherContinue reading “Simone Biles Is The Face Of Change To Athletics”
They Only “Back The Blue” When The Blue Targets You-Know-Who
The recent testimony of the law enforcement on Capitol Hill about the attempted coup insurrection on Jan. 6 of this year proves beyond a reasonable double that crime and punishment in this country is and has been a selective biased process. DC Metro Police Officer Michael Fanone said that while he was giving testimony, anContinue reading “They Only “Back The Blue” When The Blue Targets You-Know-Who”
Ask Me How I Am And I’ll Give You An Honest Answer (And I Welcome An Honest Answer From You)
The Americans with Disabilities Act was signed into law 31 years ago today, July 26, 1990. President Joe Biden earlier today signed into the law that the effects of Covid-19 on people can be individually assessed in regards to the ADA. This is also a day in my life that began the beginning of theContinue reading “Ask Me How I Am And I’ll Give You An Honest Answer (And I Welcome An Honest Answer From You)”
For What Is A Man Profited
This summer, we have seen avarice at its worst as billionaires have spent millions to basically have small rides into space. To say Jeff Bezos is one of the most hated men in America, if not the world, is an understatement. The money Bezos spent to ride what looked like the Statue of Liberty’s vibratorContinue reading “For What Is A Man Profited”
What A Surprise! Disability Pride Month Is Being Overlooked
July is Disability Pride Month and like most things having to do with people with disabilities, little is being done about it. There are no flags. There are no marches or parades I’ve heard of. There’s no background settings on Facebooks. Yes, like most things having to do with disabilities, we’d rather act like itContinue reading “What A Surprise! Disability Pride Month Is Being Overlooked”
Could This Climate Change Be The New Normal?
A few years ago when I had chickens, I was going out to check on them in the evening. It was early September, literally still summer just not as humid and hot as it is in August. I noticed the geese were flying south. Normally, they didn’t fly south until later on in the Fall.Continue reading “Could This Climate Change Be The New Normal?”
