The O.J. Simpson Murder Case Still Strikes A Nerve Decades Later

As of today, June 12, there are people alive who can legally run for the U.S. Senate who have no recollection of the public hysteria and legal turmoil that happened because of the murders of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman in a residential L.A. neighborhood 30 years ago. It’s almost outrageous how all of thisContinue reading “The O.J. Simpson Murder Case Still Strikes A Nerve Decades Later”

The Republican Party’s Day Of Reckoning Is Close At Hand

No longer can the Republican Party call themselves the Party of Lincoln. No longer can the Republican Party say they are for limited government considering they want to have more governmental control on people and policies. And no longer can they say they are the party of good Christian values and law and order asContinue reading “The Republican Party’s Day Of Reckoning Is Close At Hand”

Trump Supporters – You Can’t Handle The Truth!

Well, if you’ve been living under a rock on Mars with your eyes closed and your fingers in your ears for the last 48 hours, you’ve probably heard the news that former President Donald J. Trump was convicted by a New York City jury in a “hush money” case. Now, as June 1 has begun,Continue reading “Trump Supporters – You Can’t Handle The Truth!”

Happy Cinco De Mayo

I want to wish everyone a Happy Cinco de Mayo if you celebrate. Unfortunately, if you’re celebrating today, it isn’t for Mexico’s Independence. Instead, it’s to celebrate Mexico’s victory over the Second French Empire at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. The Mexican army was led by Gen. Ignacio Zaragoza who later died from anContinue reading “Happy Cinco De Mayo”

O.J.’s Legacy Will Forever Create Debate

It was almost 30 years ago when I was getting ready one morning to go to the Driver’s Ed summer school. It was the second day of the two-week course and I was sitting in the living room of the house I grew up in when I glanced over and saw a copy of theContinue reading “O.J.’s Legacy Will Forever Create Debate”

‘Quiet On The Set’ Makes Some Noise

For the most part, my memory of Nickelodeon is Double Dare, Duckula and You Can’t Do That On Television. By the time All That hit the airwaves, I was getting read to take my driver’s exam for my license. I was a sophomore in high school. I didn’t really want to see some little girlContinue reading “‘Quiet On The Set’ Makes Some Noise”

Nex Benedict’s Death Says More About How We Despise Each Other

It didn’t take long for Donald J. Trump to openly criticize President Joe Biden’s stutter following the State of the Union address. Yes, Biden has a stutter. So do millions of other people. My cousin had it bad growing up. Jeff Goldblum built his entire acting career over stammering and stuttering his lines even thoughContinue reading “Nex Benedict’s Death Says More About How We Despise Each Other”

Leap-Year Lizards!

It almost makes sense the same week the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear the argument that former President Donald J. Trump has immunity from prosecution is the 33rd anniversary of the infamous beating and arrest of Rodney King by four Los Angeles Police officers. The 1991 incident which occurred this day, March 3, wasContinue reading “Leap-Year Lizards!”

‘Get Gotti’ Great For Gangster Enthusiasts Yet Nothing New

John Gotti looked like he was out of Central Casting for an Italian Mafia crime boss. Before the 1970s, most of the bosses kept their identities or roles mostly hidden through fronts and legitimate businesses. Gangs and gangsters had existed in America for decades and even centuries. But a lot of them from the endContinue reading “‘Get Gotti’ Great For Gangster Enthusiasts Yet Nothing New”

Richard Lewis: Dark Prince Of Comedy

There’s a saying that’s it better to laugh than it is to cry. Richard Lewis lived a life where he turned his own personal pain and neurosis into comedy. Just like another famous comic named Richard (as in Richard Pryor), we laughed because he made us want to laugh. To call Lewis neurotic with hisContinue reading “Richard Lewis: Dark Prince Of Comedy”
