Back in 1970, the world had grown so bored of the Moon landing flights that when Apollo 13 launched, the Big Three Networks (ABC, CBS, NBC) didn’t report as much as they did with the previous ones. Mainly, it was just that going back and forth to the Moon had gotten boring. I don’t blameContinue reading “SSDD In D.C. And IDGAF”

The Leopard Has Severe Indigestion
I found this image above on a comment section so kudos to whomever made it. I don’t remember where the phrase “I didn’t think the leopard would eat my face” and variants came from. A quick Google search said it was something that became famous on Twitter back during the Fall of 2015 when aContinue reading “The Leopard Has Severe Indigestion”
Trump Whiffs As America Sinks
Nero never did play the fiddle while Rome burned because there was no such instrument at the time and he was about 30 miles away. And Marie Antoinette never said, “Let them eat cake!” about the poor in French and “cake” was never referring to the burnt bread crisp that are almost always discarded. ButContinue reading “Trump Whiffs As America Sinks”
A Picture IS Worth 1,000 Words
There are several things certain in sports. At a baseball game the nearest kid always gets the homerun or foul ball. In the mid-1980s, my family went to an Atlanta Braves game. We had seats on or near the front row near first base. A foul play was hit line drive toward us. And thisContinue reading “A Picture IS Worth 1,000 Words”
From Out Of The Frying Pan And Into The Dumpster Fire
I’d thought I’d never admit this but we’d be better off with Kristi Noem as the Secretary of the Homeland Security. But she’s on her way out and her possibly replacement isn’t any better by a longshot. Since he became a U.S. Senator after three terms in the House of Representative, Markwayne Mullin has been walking around Capitol Hill like O’Bannion from Dazed and Confused. He thinks he’s a badass and constantly trying to start fightsContinue reading “From Out Of The Frying Pan And Into The Dumpster Fire”
Are Trump’s Days Really, Finally Unequivocally Close To An End?
Recently, the President spoke at a factory mill in Rome, Ga. The news is trying to say that “thousands” of people turned out. If they are included people protesting, maybe so. But pictures don’t lie. There were only 300 max there and that’s being very liberal. It probably 250 give or take. Some people are arguing that since it was held at around 4 p.m. EST on aContinue reading “Are Trump’s Days Really, Finally Unequivocally Close To An End?”
Welcome To 5150 Get-Off-My-Lawn!
This is some property east of where I live about five miles give or take. I’ve past by this property numerous times over the years and and it was just another country home. Yet the last few months, all this has sprung up. There’s razor barb wire along the fence where there’s black walls and warning signs. Even worse, if you look closer at the houseContinue reading “Welcome To 5150 Get-Off-My-Lawn!”
Things Have To Get Better, Because We May Not Survive If They Get Worse
For the most part, I’ve always believed it’s going to get worse before it gets better. But the question you always want to know is – how much worse can it get? In any normal society, the massacre at Columbine High School back in 1999 would’ve been the breaking point. But no matter how many predominantly white schools suffer massacres, it seems the powers that be react by doing everythingContinue reading “Things Have To Get Better, Because We May Not Survive If They Get Worse”
One Year Down, But Will It Just Be Three More Or A Lot Longer?
I’ve never met him in real life but Derek Russo is a friend of a friend. At 50, he is a hulking actor and stuntman who’s appeared in Cobra Kai, Bad Boys: Ride or Die and The Mule. He had a big role in the Creepshow Christmas episode as well. But every now and again, we’ll get on a discussion feed on one of my friend’s social media posts. One thing aboutContinue reading “One Year Down, But Will It Just Be Three More Or A Lot Longer?”
If It Doesn’t Sound Too Real To Be Good, It Probably Isn’t
Let’s be honest. Just about anyone with any common sense could’ve told you over 10 years ago a lot of the social media posts and chatter was from bots. When South Park did an entire episode over sponsored content, it wasn’t the best, but it was a warning sign. The newspaper company I worked for had started doing this around 2013. The concept they proposed was people paying us to write stories about them. ButContinue reading “If It Doesn’t Sound Too Real To Be Good, It Probably Isn’t”
