One of the most landmark First Amendment cases took place in the 1980s when Jerry Falwell sued Hustler and publisher Larry Flynt over a fake Campari ad in which he talked about his first time having sex with his mother in an outhouse. It was so absurd that no one could believe it as aContinue reading “‘God Forbid’ Focuses On Unbelievable Sex Scandal”

Gen Xers’ Rage At Heart Of ‘I Love You, You Hate Me’
What was it that made us hate Barney the Purple Dinosaur? I remember going to school one morning at 14 or 15 and the radio station did a parody of The Beastie Boys’ “Fight For Your Right.” But instead of fighting for your right to party, it was to burn Barney. The San Diego ChickenContinue reading “Gen Xers’ Rage At Heart Of ‘I Love You, You Hate Me’”
Why It’s Time To Stop Turning The Other Cheek
Let me preface this by saying as a pacificist mostly, I’m not condoning any harassment, intimidation or violence of any kind. But we’re going to have to start pushing back and stop turning the other cheek against Conservative Christians. It’s less than three weeks until the 2022 General Election and the Republican Party is inContinue reading “Why It’s Time To Stop Turning The Other Cheek”
To Err Is Human; To Forgive Is Gaslighting
Herschel Walker released a campaign ad this past week that really doesn’t say much. As you might have heard, the Georgie Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate has a very checkered history. His own son, Christian, who up until a week ago was showing the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree, put hisContinue reading “To Err Is Human; To Forgive Is Gaslighting”
‘Impeachment’ Never Does Make The Right Argument
The American Crime Story anthology series started out great with The People vs. O.J. Simpson and faultered with the still good The Assassination of Gianni Versace. However, Impeachment feels more like it was rushed into production before it was too late. It’s reported that the third season was going to focus on Hurricane Katrina andContinue reading “‘Impeachment’ Never Does Make The Right Argument”
Christians Have Only Themselves To Blame For Lack Of Members
This past week, a study from the Pew Research Center was released in which it was concluded that the numbers of those who consider themselves Christian has been shrinking for years and if the trend continues, Christians will be the minority between 2050 and 2070. However, I feel that trend will be a lot sooner.Continue reading “Christians Have Only Themselves To Blame For Lack Of Members”
School Dress Codes Could Be Forms Of Sexual Harassment
At the last media company I worked for, one of the supervisors was terminated surprisingly to them and the rest of the company. But speculation grew it was because this supervisor made the other people in the office, particularly the women, feel uncomfortable when it came to their business casual attire. I heard from oneContinue reading “School Dress Codes Could Be Forms Of Sexual Harassment”
Deliver Britney From Real Evil
For many years, Britney Spears talked a lot about her religion and faith. Raised in Louisiana, she was a product a Southern Baptist upbrining inthe Bible Belt environment. And she had her peak during the Y2K hysteria, the end of the Millenium and beginning of a new one as well as the Holy War thatContinue reading “Deliver Britney From Real Evil”
‘Honk For Jesus. Save Your Soul’ Satirizes Megachurch Megastardom
I’ve never attended the black southern megachurches at the center of Honk For Jesus. Save Your Soul yet I did grow up around this environment. Since today is Sept. 11, I was assigned to contact a popular black church in Americus, Ga. to see if they were doing anything for the day. The local CatholicContinue reading “‘Honk For Jesus.

We Need To Talk About Herschel Walker
I’m going to be blunt. Herschel Walker might just be the absolute worst candidate the Republican Party has ever supported for elected office. He’s worse than Trump, who I think never really wanted the position, but just was going to use it to further his business deals. He’s worse than Sarah Palin, who thankfully lostContinue reading “We Need To Talk About Herschel Walker”
