Was Sandra Day O’Connor Forced Out?

Eighteen years is a long time. While I commend former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor for stepping down in her mid-70’s and spending those years having a private life, it still raises a lot of questions. In the summer of 2005, everyone was certain that Chief Justice William Rehnquist wasn’t going to be onContinue reading “Was Sandra Day O’Connor Forced Out?”

Henry Kissinger, How We’re (Not) Missing Yer

The question people usually ask if the ends justify the means. They present a scenario over whether it’s worth killing 100 people if it saves 100,000 people. We live in a society where we have to constantly question that even if we don’t want to, nor wonder why we should. Henry Kissinger finally died onContinue reading “Henry Kissinger, How We’re (Not) Missing Yer”

‘Two Tribes’ Loses Its Identity And Theme Through Pretentious Plot

I won a set of books on Indigenous Native American stories from the Tahlequah City Library at the SkasdiCon that was held earlier this month at Northeastern State University. One of those books is Two Tribes. And while I did like the other graphic novel, Borders, I found this one to be lost in itsContinue reading “‘Two Tribes’ Loses Its Identity And Theme Through Pretentious Plot”

Farewell To A First-Class First Lady

During my time in the America, Ga. area covering news, I would occassionally see former President Jimmy Carter around. He was living at his modest home in the Plains community. I hardly ever saw Rosalynn Carter unless it was for a big event. Rosalynn, just like her husband, never really put on airs really. IContinue reading “Farewell To A First-Class First Lady”

Christianity Doesn’t Absolve You From Following All The Rules Others Do

Ok, show of hands, who the hell knew who Bobbi Storm was before this week? I’m going to be blunt with all Christian figures. No one really cares about your faith other than you. No one wants you to tell us about your love of Jesus and God. No one wants to try to makeContinue reading “Christianity Doesn’t Absolve You From Following All The Rules Others Do”

How Much Worse Does It Have To Get Before It Gets Better?

I’m going to be brutally honest. I’m getting very tired of how bad things are getting. And while this might offend some, I think people need to quit letting their faith and religion dictate how things should work. Why can’t people just go to church on Sunday and be the usual hypocrites they were whenContinue reading “How Much Worse Does It Have To Get Before It Gets Better?”

We’re Not Making The Same Mistakes Again, But We’re Making All New Ones

Today is Jeff Goldblum’s 71st birthday. And while I wish the actor a happy birthday, I remember the line between him and Sir Richard Attenborough in The Lost World: Jurassic Park where Attenborough’s John Hammond says, “Don’t worry, we’re not making the same mistakes again” to which Goldblum’s Dr. Ian Malcolm says, “You’re making allContinue reading “We’re Not Making The Same Mistakes Again, But We’re Making All New Ones”

How Piper Laurie Gave Horror Movies One Of Its Greatest Villains

By the time, Piper Laurie accepted the role of Margaret White in Brian DePalma’s adaptation of Stephen King’s Carrie, she hadn’t appeared in a movie for almost 15 years since her Oscar-nominated performance in The Hustler. She had been doing TV work up until the mid-1960s before she took time off for about a decade.Continue reading “How Piper Laurie Gave Horror Movies One Of Its Greatest Villains”

This Is Isreal’s War, Not Ours

Let me start by saying, I find it horrible to hear of the attacks by the terrorist organization Hamas against the people of Isreal. I can’t begin to think what the people there are going through of their family elsewhere who have to watch in horror. A young woman I follow on social media wasContinue reading “This Is Isreal’s War, Not Ours”
