We Need To Talk About Leo (And More Important What It Says About Our Society)

It was 25 years ago, I sat in a movie theater in Statesboro, Ga., during the winter of 1998 watching Titanic. Young girls swooned and gasped as Leonardo DiCaprio’s Jack Dawson was on screen, especially when he puts on the tuxedo. And during the death scene as he is freezing to death in the icyContinue reading “We Need To Talk About Leo (And More Important What It Says About Our Society)”

Why We Never Talk About Grief And Mourning In Our Society

I have a cousin that died as an infant. She is rarely ever discussed. She had health problems and some mental problems. If she had lived, she would have turned 40 this year. I had an aunt who committed suicide before I was born. She was hardly ever discussed and if so, it was somethingContinue reading “Why We Never Talk About Grief And Mourning In Our Society”

Tyre Nichols’ Death Proves Law Enforcement Is Out of Control

My mom once told a story of my older brother when he was little. I don’t remember it so I must’ve been an infant/toddler. My mom had been pulled over for some traffic violations or something. I don’t know if the officer cited her or gave her a warning, but my brother was relieved. “Mom,Continue reading “Tyre Nichols’ Death Proves Law Enforcement Is Out of Control”

The Fall Of The Republican(t) Party

If at first you don’t succeed, try and try again. In Kevin McCarthy’s case, that would be 15 times. It’s amazing that this vote for the next Speaker of the House went 15 times. For a while, Democrats were holding out the possibility that a few Republicans would go across party lines and elect HakeemContinue reading “The Fall Of The Republican(t) Party”

Athletes Aren’t Just More Meat For The Meat Grinder

On Monday, Jan. 2, Damar Hanlin, a football safety for the Buffalo Bills was playing in a game against the Cincinnati Bengals when he collapsed after tackling Bengals Tee Higgins, a wide receiver. They did CPR compression for nearly 10 minutes as people watched on national TV before he was taken away in an ambulance.Continue reading “Athletes Aren’t Just More Meat For The Meat Grinder”

Christians Want To Express Their Hatred And Act Persecuted Too

I had to chuckle a little as I read the headlines that Kirk Cameron is going to sue public libraries for refusing to promote his children’s book. Cameron who can’t let his feckless cunt of a sister, Candace, get all the news, had to one-up her with the release of a book, As You Grow,Continue reading “Christians Want To Express Their Hatred And Act Persecuted Too”

The Christmas That Wasn’t; The Christmases That Will Never Be

She makes sausage and cheese balls. I make mashed potatoes (peeled, boiled and mashed by hand). We watch The Muppet Christmas Carol and Elf with the kids. I read “Twas the Night Before Christmas.” After they go to bed, we snuggle up and watch Love Actually. I never cared for that movie or Elf, butContinue reading “The Christmas That Wasn’t; The Christmases That Will Never Be”

So Much For The Christmas Spirit

You have to hand it to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and the legion of people who support him. They sure know how to make Christmas just about them. Like a spoiled kid checking the length and width of all presents under the tree, Abbott, whose state is undergoing its second winter power issue under hisContinue reading “So Much For The Christmas Spirit”
