Graham Leaves Horrible, Questionable Legacy In Congress

First off, let me say “Go fuck yourself!” to all the people saying we shouldn’t be celebrating the death of Sen.

Here It Goes Again…And Again

Well, my disability claim has been remanded on appeal for the third time, which means I’ll have a fourth hearing sometime between now and this time next year. Just FYI, when I began this journey, my mother was still alive, so was my girlfriend. I’ve had two serious relationships end, lost most of my furbabiesContinue reading “Here It Goes Again…And Again”

“A Republic If You Can Keep It”

It’s America’s 250th birthday today. And like a lot of thriving things, it needs care. But we never know how much for how long. We just have to keep a watch on it. When it rains, you don’t need to water your outside plants. When it’s dry, you need to help them with water. DuringContinue reading ““A Republic If You Can Keep It””

‘Idiocracy’ Is Only A Horror Movie If You Make It One

When Idiocracy was released 20 years ago, it was to fulfill a contractual obligation between 20th Century Fox and Mike Judge.The movie bombed because the studio tried to bury it in as few as many theaters as possible with no press or marketing.

World Cup Proves We Need To Coexist On A Global Scale

While economists are saying the host cities for the World Cup might have a shortfall, I think what we’ve received in the last two weeks has been priceless.  People from other countries are excited to be in America and Americans are actually excited to have them. Most of the host cities are the blue citiesContinue reading “World Cup Proves We Need To Coexist On A Global Scale”

We Need To Talk About Mens Mental Health Awareness

June is Mens Mental Health Awareness Month. I’m not surprised if you don’t know. Mental health is taboo too much with men. No one really wants to talk about it until someone goes nuts and shoots up a school, church, parade, concert, movie theater, etc.  And then it briefly gets mentioned for a few daysContinue reading “We Need To Talk About Mens Mental Health Awareness”

Leno Leaves On A High Note, Then Ruins It With An Encore And Coda

With Stephen Colbert gone, the future of late-night talk show TV looks bleak. But Jay Leno once went out in the best way. No not that time, the first time.  It had been announced in the mid-2000s that Leno would leave with Conan O’Brien taking over as host of The Tonight Show.  For a weekContinue reading “Leno Leaves On A High Note, Then Ruins It With An Encore And Coda”

Keep On Strokin’ Clarence Carter

Forty years ago during the waning years of the Satanic panic, a lot of songs were still under scrutiny by several Christian and/or parental groups. Therefore, a song like “Strokin’” would’ve never played on the radio or even MTV but only late at night.  Clarence Carter recorded the song for his album ‘Dr. C.C.’ onContinue reading “Keep On Strokin’ Clarence Carter”
