I’ve never met him in real life but Derek Russo is a friend of a friend. At 50, he is a hulking actor and stuntman who’s appeared in Cobra Kai, Bad Boys: Ride or Die and The Mule. He had a big role in the Creepshow Christmas episode as well. But every now and again, we’ll get on a discussion feed on one of my friend’s social media posts. One thing aboutContinue reading “One Year Down, But Will It Just Be Three More Or A Lot Longer?”

If It Doesn’t Sound Too Real To Be Good, It Probably Isn’t
Let’s be honest. Just about anyone with any common sense could’ve told you over 10 years ago a lot of the social media posts and chatter was from bots. When South Park did an entire episode over sponsored content, it wasn’t the best, but it was a warning sign. The newspaper company I worked for had started doing this around 2013. The concept they proposed was people paying us to write stories about them. ButContinue reading “If It Doesn’t Sound Too Real To Be Good, It Probably Isn’t”
Donnie & Bill, Sitting In A Tree
I wouldn’t doubt that the current POTUS had a sexual interaction with another man. I’m sure what’s really keeping a lot of the information of the Epstein Files from going public is how many powerful men have engaged in sexual assaults of men and young boys. When it comes to sexually assaulting teenage girls, a lot of men can look the otherContinue reading “Donnie & Bill, Sitting In A Tree”
Not The Obit I Was Hoping For, But A Win Is Still A Win
I’m not going to have any sympathy for someone like Dick Cheney. He lived a long life at 84 while cutting many other lives short for his own capital gain. Yes, yes, yes. He turned around over a year ago and said he would support Kamala Harris in the 2024 Presidential election. Just because FrankensteinContinue reading “Not The Obit I Was Hoping For, But A Win Is Still A Win”
Congratulations To Maria Corina Machado, Nobel Peace Prize Winner
I want to extend my congratulations to Maria Corina Machado for being named the recipient of the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize. I know a lot of people (who don’t understand the concept of peace) think it should’ve went to another person. But this person has never been a model for peace. When five young blackContinue reading “Congratulations To Maria Corina Machado, Nobel Peace Prize Winner”
‘South Park’ Finally Bites More Than It Barks After Recent Lackluster Seasons
It’s hard to believe it’s been 28 years since South Park first aired on Comedy Central. Maybe it was the fact the network wasn’t as well respected and the creators (Trey Parker and Matt Stone) themselves felt the show would be canceled quickly, they were able to get away with so much at first. LikeContinue reading “‘South Park’ Finally Bites More Than It Barks After Recent Lackluster Seasons”
How ‘Survivor’ Saved (And Ruined) TV
This past year, Survivor ended its 48th season and 701th episode. I never believed Survivor would’ve made it this far when I first heard about the show over 25 years ago. But when it aired on this date, May 31 in 2000, it became a cultural phenomenon. But was its success misunderstood? American TV hasContinue reading “How ‘Survivor’ Saved (And Ruined) TV”
Don’t Give Trump Anymore Press
Ten years ago on the The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore, they discussed that the reason Donald Trump is getting so much attention is because people keep talking about him. This was back when he was one of many candidates (Ted Cruz and Jeb Bush among them) and considered the dark horse candidate. Granted, weContinue reading “Don’t Give Trump Anymore Press”
‘The Apprentice’ Is A Wall Street Version Of Frankenstein
With a lot of biopics, you have to take them with a grain of salt. Characters and events are often changed or created for the purpose of a good storyline that can be squeezed into two hours of a movie. The Apprentice is an appropriate title for a movie like this as it examines DonaldContinue reading “‘The Apprentice’ Is A Wall Street Version Of Frankenstein”
‘SNL’ Skit Did Go Too Far
Mel Brooks, one of the Kings of Comedy, once said: “Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall in an open sewer and die.” The line means that as long as it doesn’t happen to me, it won’t hurt as much. Saturday Night Live has pushed the envelope in its 50Continue reading “‘SNL’ Skit Did Go Too Far”
