In September 2003, David Blaine began performing the infamous “Above the Below” endurance contest. Some people might call Blaine a magician and I think when he rose to prominence in the 1990s, his street illusions distanced himself from the glamourous style of David Copperfield or Seigfried and Roy. But as one of my math teachersContinue reading “Should We Prepare The Guillotine?”

If America Was Ran As A Business, Trump Would’ve Already Been Fired
I was glad to see the “Hands Off” protests happening all over the country yesterday. There were protestors nearby my home in Tahlequah, Okla. as well as in my hometown of Calhoun, Ga. While they didn’t make much of a dent as other bigger cities, it shows you that the country is past fed upContinue reading “If America Was Ran As A Business, Trump Would’ve Already Been Fired”
Living In The FAFO Generation
On a recent trip back east to the town in which I grew up, I talked with a few long-time friends who have always had different political viewpoints. But if there’s one thing we seem in agreement on is the abundance of apathy we have toward people who voted for Donald Trump and seem toContinue reading “Living In The FAFO Generation”
Trump Doesn’t Want To Live Off-Camera, Much Less Talk
In the 1991 concert documentary Madonna: Truth or Dare, Warren Beatty summed up the pop singer/actress/diva in one simple phrase when he said, “She doesn’t know how to live off camera, much less talk.” Ouch! Beatty and Madonna were dating during the time of her Blond Ambition tour. They had starred together in the 1990Continue reading “Trump Doesn’t Want To Live Off-Camera, Much Less Talk”
What Did Trump Supporters Think Would Happen?
I’m hardly on X or Twitter (or Shitter) as I’ve heard it be called now. But comedian and transgender model Stacy Cay posed a good question – What did people in this country think would happen? This past weekend, Donald Trump ordered tariffs placed on Canada, China and Mexico using the illegal spread of fentanylContinue reading “What Did Trump Supporters Think Would Happen?”
Liberation Day
There’s a saying that goes, “History doesn’t repeat itself, but it does rhyme.” As Donald Trump tries to revoke birthright citizenship, lead a mass deportation of undocumented immigrants and clamp down on basic rights for the LGBTQIA community, 80 years ago, the Soviet Union liberated Auschwitz-Birkenau, one of the most horrific places of human savagery,Continue reading “Liberation Day”
Unity Is Earned, Not Given Or Expected
For all the people defending Donald Trump saying this country needs “unity,” I want you to tell me what did you offer in the last four years? We never hear of the U-word when there is a Democrat in the Oval Office. No, all we hear about is division. When Bill Clinton became President, theContinue reading “Unity Is Earned, Not Given Or Expected”
Rest In Power, Jimmy!
I’ve talked a lot of my time in Americus, Ga. and how I worked at the Americus Times-Recorder which was nearby Plains, Ga., where former President James E. Carter Jr., otherwise known just as Jimmy, was born 100 years ago and passed away on Sunday, Dec. 29. He may not have been considered one ofContinue reading “Rest In Power, Jimmy!”

‘Girls Gone Wild’ Documentary Explores Dark History Behind Video Franchise
I never did watch a Girls Gone Wild video. They were everywhere back when I was in my early 20s. You’d see the promo commercials late at night which looked like nothing more than young women on Spring Break or night clubs showing their breasts and maybe their butts all the time. But how muchContinue reading “‘Girls Gone Wild’ Documentary Explores Dark History Behind Video Franchise”
