I know a lot of people probably don’t like Jimmy Kimmel, but you have to show some empathy for the family of Cleto Escobedo III. The musician was the long-time band leader of Jimmy Kimmel Live! On Nov. 11, he reportedly passed away following a long-term illness. On the show on that night, Kimmel fought back tears with no luck as he recalled the life of Escobedo,Continue reading “Peace And Love To The Families Of Cleto Escobedo III And Jimmy Kimmel”

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”
Gone But Never Forgotten And Now Her Legacy Will Live On
I had to smile that on Saturday, Oct. 18 as the No Kings Protest were ongoing throughout the country, the College Media Association John A Boyd Hall of Fame recognized Kelley Lash at a special ceremony that evening in Washington, D.C. Kelley was the editor of the George-Anne, the college newspaper of Georgia Southern University,Continue reading “Gone But Never Forgotten And Now Her Legacy Will Live On”
No Kings Nor Dictators
I had high hopes of attending the local No Kings protest. But Mother Nature had other ideas as a thunderstorm came through at around the same time of the planned protest beginning at 10 a.m. CMT. I also wasn’t feeling well but I was happy to see several people out protesting in my hometown ofContinue reading “No Kings Nor Dictators”
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”
No Empathy Allowed
Let m start by saying, I don’t condone gun violence. Yes, I own firearms. But I don’t walk around all the time showing off my guns, nor do I think it’s always the answer to everything. Yes, you should call 911 and use guns as a last line of defense. Charlie Kirk died on Sept.Continue reading “No Empathy Allowed”
‘Smoke’ Gets Lost In Absurd Cloud
AppleTV seems to be the go-to streaming service for TV shows and limited series now. For a while HBO held that glory but the emergence of streaming led to Netflix briefly having the honor. But the executives there decide it was best to cancel shows people liked. Now, it’s cyclical. I still think HBO MaxContinue reading “‘Smoke’ Gets Lost In Absurd Cloud”
‘Late Show With Stephen Colbert’ Cancelation Is Not An Odd Coincidence
Nowadays, it seems just about anyone with some recording material and a website domain name can become a podcast celebrity. Times change and we as a a society have to change with them. Therefore, I can see that we may be in the autumn years of the talk show format. Do we really need celebritiesContinue reading “‘Late Show With Stephen Colbert’ Cancelation Is Not An Odd Coincidence”
Happy Birthday, U.S. Army! And Happy Flag Day! And No Kings!
Today is the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army and that’s the only birthday that really counts today. (Ok, maybe someone out there reading this has a special day and I say, Happy Birthday to you!) But let’s not forget the reason we needed to form a national army in the first place. The AmericanContinue reading “Happy Birthday, U.S. Army! And Happy Flag Day! And No Kings!”
Hands Across America Came And Went Into The Ether On This Day
There’s probably a reason a lot of people had forgotten about Hands Across America until filmmaker Jordan Peele used it as a plot point in his 2019 horror movie US. You, see, Hands Across America was one of many greatest promotion and fund-raising blunders of the latter quarter of the 20th Century. Burger King hadContinue reading “Hands Across America Came And Went Into The Ether On This Day”
