Happy Birthday, Mr. President!
After college, I took a job working as a reporter for the Americus Times-Recorder in Americus, Ga. The town was located in southwest Georgia maybe about 10 miles from Plains, where former President Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, live to this day. It was your typical small town in the south with the fewContinue reading “Happy Birthday, Mr. President!”
‘Se7en’ Is A Commentary On Human Cruelty, Apathy And Vengeance
A movie like Se7en, or just Seven as it’s sometimes shown, is quite possibly one of the most profound, unusually disturbing but provocative movies Hollywood has churned out in his history. The fact that it contains a rising heartthrob like Brad Pitt alongside a revered actor like Morgan Freeman and is so dark and unsettlingContinue reading “‘Se7en’ Is A Commentary On Human Cruelty, Apathy And Vengeance”
Hypocrisy Is Becoming America’s New Pasttime
Ok, show of hands – who hasn’t watched the news the last few weeks with a certain malaise that you kinda expected all this. Jimmy Fallon, who spent years, making us believe he was a squeaky-clean cornfed white-boy comic may be a drunk who spent the last nine years making The Tonight Show a toxicContinue reading “Hypocrisy Is Becoming America’s New Pasttime”
You’re Disrespecting 9/11 Victims By Continuing To Support Trump
I’ve often said that if Al Gore had been president, 9/11 or something like it would’ve still happened. It may not have happened on this day. It would’ve been March 23 or Nov. 17. And they may not have struck in New York City or The Pentagon. But a phantom menace was brewing in theContinue reading “You’re Disrespecting 9/11 Victims By Continuing To Support Trump”
Violence Will Continue As Politicians Spread Hate, Division For Votes
One thing I learned as a crime reporter – acts of violence are usually personal. Most murders are crimes of passion. People have arguments and it gets out of hand and one person is killed. Despite living in towns that were supposed to be away from the “big city crime,” I did see a lotContinue reading “Violence Will Continue As Politicians Spread Hate, Division For Votes”
Please Think Of Those Affected By Weekend Hurricane/Tropical Storm
I have a busy day today so I don’t have time to post something big. However, I was wanting to send my thoughts and positive vibes to the people in the wake of Hurricane/Tropical Storm Hillary. I have several friends and their families who live in California and the Nevada area, so my thoughts areContinue reading “Please Think Of Those Affected By Weekend Hurricane/Tropical Storm”
The Problem With White Savior Tropes
This past week, there’s been a huge back and forth between Michael Oher and the Tuohy Family over proceeds from the 2009 movie The Blind Side and the book on which the movie is based. Oher, who played college football at Ole Miss and then went on professionally to play for the Baltimore Ravens, TennesseeContinue reading “The Problem With White Savior Tropes”
It Should’ve Never Gotten This Far
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”
