A Day Of Reckoning Is Coming

I’ll begin this post with a history lesson. Edward Joseph O’Hare was known as “Easy Eddie.” He was also a lawyer who worked for mobster Al Capone through his rise in the 1920s. However, by the early 1930s, O’Hare had a change of heart. His only son, Edward Henry “Butch” O’Hare was growing up and about to enterContinue reading “A Day Of Reckoning Is Coming”

Happy Festivus!

Wishing you all a very Happy Festivus!  And this is the second time I’m having to write this post because the previous one was deleted by mistake so my grievances is a little more right now.   This has been one of the craziest fucking years of my life. I started the year with my mom’s funeral followed by getting so sick for the worst time ever in years. IContinue reading “Happy Festivus!”

The Am Meisten Bechissen Christmas Commercia And What It Says About Us

Next to the Super Bowl, the Christmas holiday season produces some of the most memorable commercials. Some are remembered for the wrong reasons. Folgers tried to duplicate the tone of “Peter Comes Homes From Christmas” which premiered 40 years ago in 1985 with an updated version. The original featured a college-aged young man arriving at his childhood home on ChristmasContinue reading “The Am Meisten Bechissen Christmas Commercia And What It Says About Us”

Get Knocked Down; Get Back Up

Well, I got some bad news today. While it’s not as bad as some of the things going on around the world, it’s bad to me. I’m so sick of people constantly belitting someone’s problems in the grand scheme of the world. C.S. Lewis once said, “The pain I feel now is the happiness IContinue reading “Get Knocked Down; Get Back Up”

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”

What An Outrageous Fucked-Up Time To Be Alive, Right?!

I’ve lived in my house nearly 20 years. It’s right across the street from a cattle and horse ranch. I’ve smelt both bullshit and horseshit for two decades and it still smells worse coming out of Washington, D.C. About a week ago, we thought he had died and so many people were happy. The airContinue reading “What An Outrageous Fucked-Up Time To Be Alive, Right?!”

Please Help “Burger King Mom”

Every now and again, we all seem to work a job where we’re the only one on staff making it impossible to even take a restroom break for a few minutes. A few weeks ago, Nykia Hamilton, 25, went viral when a video of her working all by herself at a Burger King in Columbia,Continue reading “Please Help “Burger King Mom””

We Owe Lindsay Lohan An Apology

I’m in no hurry to see Freakier Friday. I just watched the original one the other day for the first time in 20 years. Over the years, the actress/singer took a lot of shit for what people said and did. I’d argue the whole thing with Georgia Rule and her partying was just a PRContinue reading “We Owe Lindsay Lohan An Apology”

Getting Their Hands Caught In The Cookie Jar Is Some Sweet Revenge

This time last week, there’s a good chance 99.9999 percent of the world didn’t know who Andy Byron is nor had they heard of Astronomer. Yet, days ago, he was caught on a “Kiss Cam” Jumbotron at a Coldplay concert in Foxborough, Mass., a suburb of Boston. Byron was shown to the crowd on theContinue reading “Getting Their Hands Caught In The Cookie Jar Is Some Sweet Revenge”

Anyone Still Believe This Horseshit?!

When I was working as a reporter down in south Georgia near Plains, I was covering an event where former President Jimmy Carter was speaking. I was taking notes and got this feeling I was being watched. I glanced to my left and saw a Secret Service guy standing five feet away or so staringContinue reading “Anyone Still Believe This Horseshit?!”
