I’ll begin this post with a history lesson. Edward Joseph O’Hare was known as “Easy Eddie.” He was also a lawyer who worked for mobster Al Capone through his rise in the 1920s. However, by the early 1930s, O’Hare had a change of heart. His only son, Edward Henry “Butch” O’Hare was growing up and about to enterContinue reading “A Day Of Reckoning Is Coming”

Recent Homophobia Over ‘Stranger Things’ Shows How Little We’ve Come
People are very stupid. As Stranger Things sets to air its series finale episode in less than 24 hours, the seventh episode of the fifth season has been review-bombed. And it’s all because of a scene where Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) finally comes out to his mother and his friends that he’s gay. Of course, it’s a difficult thing for him to say as his friends seem toContinue reading “Recent Homophobia Over ‘Stranger Things’ Shows How Little We’ve Come”
Happy Festivus!
Wishing you all a very Happy Festivus! And this is the second time I’m having to write this post because the previous one was deleted by mistake so my grievances is a little more right now. This has been one of the craziest fucking years of my life. I started the year with my mom’s funeral followed by getting so sick for the worst time ever in years. IContinue reading “Happy Festivus!”
Get Knocked Down; Get Back Up
Well, I got some bad news today. While it’s not as bad as some of the things going on around the world, it’s bad to me. I’m so sick of people constantly belitting someone’s problems in the grand scheme of the world. C.S. Lewis once said, “The pain I feel now is the happiness IContinue reading “Get Knocked Down; Get Back Up”
Oklahoma University Discrimination Case Is A Bizarro ‘God’s Not Dead’
I’ve never seen the movie God’s Not Dead nor any of the sequels. But I know that the gist of the first movie is an atheist philosophy professor played by Kevin Sorbo who demands his students sign a declaration that “God is dead” or else they won’t pass. Yeah. No way would this movie workContinue reading “Oklahoma University Discrimination Case Is A Bizarro ‘God’s Not Dead’”
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”
Donnie & Bill, Sitting In A Tree
I wouldn’t doubt that the current POTUS had a sexual interaction with another man. I’m sure what’s really keeping a lot of the information of the Epstein Files from going public is how many powerful men have engaged in sexual assaults of men and young boys. When it comes to sexually assaulting teenage girls, a lot of men can look the otherContinue reading “Donnie & Bill, Sitting In A Tree”

John Candy would’ve been 75 this Halloween if he hadn’t passed away in 1994 at 43. In death, Candy achieved that type of stardom and legacy that most actors and celebrities want but rarely achieve when they’re alive. During the last few years he was alive, Candy appeared in a lot of movies, either inContinue reading “You Will Like ‘John Candy: I Like Me’”
‘The Devil’s Advocate’ Is About The Last Temptation Of Keanu
SPOILER WARNING!! This post contains major plot points and revelations. When I first saw The Devil’s Advocate when it hit video in the spring of 1998, I really didn’t like the ending. The basic premise of the movie is Keanu Reeves plays Kevin Lomax, a young hot-shot lawyer from Gainesville, Fla. who is plucked byContinue reading “‘The Devil’s Advocate’ Is About The Last Temptation Of Keanu”
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”
