Fake It Till You Make It

I’ve never had to work in the food service industry. I have had to clean up shit that was on the floor. And it wasn’t mine. It was human excrement. The summer of 1998 I got a job bagging groceries at the Piggly Wiggly in my hometown of Calhoun, Ga. Now, this town produced someContinue reading “Fake It Till You Make It”

Misinformation Station, How Do You Ration?

Ok, the headline above does exactly rhyme but you know what? It doesn’t matter because I saw it’s so. (I mean, I’m from the South. You ought to hear what we’ve done to the English language. And yet they get mad about people speaking Spanish.) That’s basically how things have been for well over 20Continue reading “Misinformation Station, How Do You Ration?”

‘Private Diary Of Lyle Menendez’ The Mind Of A Sociopath Or A Manchild?

Now that the Menendez Brothers have been thrusted into the spotlight once again with the show Monsters on Netflix, there’s a brief mention of this book. And anyone who is a true-crime buff will like to read or more importantly listen to the audiobook. But anyone else will junk it as garbage. I admit, LyleContinue reading “‘Private Diary Of Lyle Menendez’ The Mind Of A Sociopath Or A Manchild?”

Please Help Hurricane Relief If You Can

As the last remnants of Hurricane Helene dissipate, I can consider myself lucky. Not lucky that I’m about a good 1,000 miles from the major damage, but lucky I’m not on the road right now because a friend or family member was seriously hurt or died. As of this posting, CNN is reporting there areContinue reading “Please Help Hurricane Relief If You Can”

Final Bow For Dame Maggie Smith

You could probably survey 100 people at random on what they most remember Dame Maggie Smith for and you’d probably get dozens of responses. Smith, who died on Sept. 27 at the age of 89, had a body of work many actors would dream of. It is hard to summarize her work with just aContinue reading “Final Bow For Dame Maggie Smith”

‘Gary’ A Profile Of One Who Was Loved By Fans But Abused By Loved Ones

If Gary Coleman stood six-feet tall, it’s highly unlikely so many people would’ve taken advantage of him as much. Even if he was 5-foot-6, it’s quite possible people would’ve thought differently or at least given it a second thought. But Coleman never grew taller than 4-foot-8. Even Danny DeVito is taller. Peter Dinklage is onlyContinue reading “‘Gary’ A Profile Of One Who Was Loved By Fans But Abused By Loved Ones”

Telling Lies In America

I’ll admit it. I believe there could be some psychopaths so extreme on the conservative right spectrum they would believe killing Donald Trump would be better for America. But also, the right has spread so much about hoaxes and crisis actors, why should we be expected to believe them when something real happens to oneContinue reading “Telling Lies In America”

You Gotta Admit The Olympics Were Something Else This Time

Let’s face, the Olympics are usually hit or miss. Sometimes they are so basic you feel like there’s more excitement at the elementary school field day. And then, there’s one that blows the others out of the water. Even before the first event started, the Paris Olympics seemed like they were going to be memorableContinue reading “You Gotta Admit The Olympics Were Something Else This Time”

The Homoeroticism Of Donald Trump By His Fanbase Is Telling

It’s ironic that the same political party that has an intolerable hatred and cruelty to the LGBTQIA community is so in love with making Donald Trump out to be some Adonis Olympiad hero. However, that isn’t even the case. Let’s face it, even Robert F. Kennedy Jr. knows his limitations when he tries to showContinue reading “The Homoeroticism Of Donald Trump By His Fanbase Is Telling”

Biden’s Dropping Out Might Be The Queen’s Sacrifice No One Saw Coming

Republicans never think ahead. Even Project 2025 or Agenda 47 or whatever they call it, will do more damage in the long run. But they don’t care. All they want is to remain in power. Last week might have started off great for the 45th President with U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon dismissing the federalContinue reading “Biden’s Dropping Out Might Be The Queen’s Sacrifice No One Saw Coming”
