It’s been 49 years this week since President Richard M. Nixon resigned. He resigned on Aug. 8, 1974 amid allegations of his involvement in The Watergate breakin and the attempted cover-up afterwards. Nixon was never impeached even though the Watergate hearings became news. He resigned and some people say he did it so he couldContinue reading “It Should’ve Never Gotten This Far”

Paul Reubens Taught A Generation It Was Okay To Be A Little Different
On Sept. 5, 1991 as the MTV Video Music Awards began, no one in the audience nor at home watching was expecting to see Pee-wee Herman come out on stage to begin the show. On July 26 of that year, Pee-wee (or Paul Reubens as he was legally known) had been arrested in Florida inContinue reading “Paul Reubens Taught A Generation It Was Okay To Be A Little Different”
Sympathy For The Devil?
On July 26, during a press meeting, Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) was talking to the media when he suddenly stopped and just stared blankely ahead. Seconds passed but it was enough for everyone around him to realize something wasn’t right. Was he having a stroke? Was it a TIA (transient ischemic attack), a type ofContinue reading “Sympathy For The Devil?”
Why We Owe Sinead O’Connor An Apology
Without Googling it, who is Mehmet Ali Agca? It’s okay if you didn’t know. I didn’t even know and I had to look it up. On May 13, 1981, Agca, a Turkish man, shot at Pope John Paul II in St. Peter’s Square and struck him twice. Agca was apprehended, convicted and sentenced to aContinue reading “Why We Owe Sinead O’Connor An Apology”
Republicans Have Told Us Who They Really Are – Listen To Them
In the nearly 45 years I’ve been alive, I’ve learned that people tell you exactly what they’re thinking when they’re angry. There’s no censor because our emotions get the best of us. Sadly, the Republican Party in America has gotten so angry, they’ve lost that censor a long time ago. These past few weeks, theyContinue reading “Republicans Have Told Us Who They Really Are – Listen To Them”
The Great American Myth Of The Small-Town Life Archetype
I have nothing against Andy Griffith and Norman Rockwell. But they deserve a little bit of scorn for creating a mythos of how small-town life could, would and should be. Sadly, it varies from location to location. And even more sadder, most people looked through these two icons and their lives with rose-colored glasses. GriffithContinue reading “The Great American Myth Of The Small-Town Life Archetype”
An ‘Ashley Madison Affair’ Some Might Not Want To Remember
In college, one of my writing professors told us to beware of certain literary magazines as they’ll inform us they “accepted” your submissions but they may need some pay for publishing. I even decided to do it sending off some mediocre items and thus getting told it had been “accepted.” I knew it was notContinue reading “An ‘Ashley Madison Affair’ Some Might Not Want To Remember”
The Supreme Court Lost Their Damned Mind
From the reasoning behind the U.S. Supreme Court decisions, you don’t have to know that it’s mostly conservative and mostly consists of Boomers. The fact that they’re willing to change the laws based on two hypothetical situations that didn’t really happen is the typical Chicken-Little-Sky-Is-Falling mentality that has sprung up a lot in the lastContinue reading “The Supreme Court Lost Their Damned Mind”
Pat Robertson Is Finally Dead, But His Legacy Will Live On, Unfortunately
There’s an old saying that goes the only reason someone is still alive is “Heaven doesn’t want ’em and Hell is afraid that they’ll talk over.” Pat Robertson, who was a Southern Baptist minister and TV personality, along with a one-time Presidential candidate, finally died on June 8. For many people, he wasn’t a manContinue reading “Pat Robertson Is Finally Dead, But His Legacy Will Live On, Unfortunately”
Pride & Acceptance Or Pandering & Profit?
June is Pride Month in support of the LBGTQIA community. Lately, conservatives and Christians have gone on a rant against Target, Bud Light beer and even Chick-fil-A, the corporate equivalent of their grand old racist uncle, for being “woke.” There once was a time when corporations and businesses didn’t acknowledge this community. You may rememberContinue reading “Pride & Acceptance Or Pandering & Profit?”
