Peace And Love To The People Of Minneapolis And Minnesota

It’s almost becoming a daily if not weekly routine in America where someone goes into a school or school event and opens fire killing and injuring people. This time it happened at a parochial school, Annunciation Catholic School, in the Minneapolis area where two children, ages 8 and 10, were killed. There are 17 peopleContinue reading “Peace And Love To The People Of Minneapolis And Minnesota”

‘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!”

This Is What People Want

The greatest myth of the American ideology is that even though “All men are created equal,” no one is willing to share their toys with other people. We’ve always wanted inequality. Yes, people, well…men, might be created equal in theory, but after we’re born we’re on our own. Currently the National Guard was at aContinue reading “This Is What People Want”

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”

Don’t Give Trump Anymore Press

Ten years ago on the The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore, they discussed that the reason Donald Trump is getting so much attention is because people keep talking about him. This was back when he was one of many candidates (Ted Cruz and Jeb Bush among them) and considered the dark horse candidate. Granted, weContinue reading “Don’t Give Trump Anymore Press”

Peace And Love Be With Victims Of Columbine On This Difficult Day

Even though it’s Easter, it’s also a grim day for the people of Littleton, Colo. where the Columbine High School Massacre happened on this day, April 20, 1999. For a time, it was the deadliest school shooting in U.S. history. And despite the massacre, very little was done correctly. Charlton Heston was the president ofContinue reading “Peace And Love Be With Victims Of Columbine On This Difficult Day”

Should We Prepare The Guillotine?

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”
