Acting is NOT Appropriation Somehow the Christmas season just isn’t the same without some version or another of Dickens’s “A Christmas Carol”. Call me old school (which some of you will do regardless), but there is just something about Dickens’s themes of redemption, communal brotherhood, and charitable giving that ring true with the spirit of […]
Republicans Dealt It Because They Smelt It
Republicans Dealt it Because They Smelt It I don’t know about all of you, but I can barely type this sentence given that I am struggling to keep my head above this drowning red wave from the 2022 election. Suddenly, I know how Detroit Lions fans feel each season as they wait in anticipation for […]
What I’m Thankful For: 2022 Edition
What I’m Thankful for: 2022 Edition Note: TRUTH: In 1000 Words or Less will be off next week in recognition of the Thanksgiving holiday, but until then, please enjoy our 2022 edition of What I’m Thankful For… I must admit that I am surprised as anyone that this is officially the 8th installment of my […]
Oh Ye of Little Faith
Oh Ye of Little Faith If there’s one thing the last couple of weeks have reminded me of it’s that black people share our ability to say remarkably stupid and offensive things. It’s funny, but after years of listening to the mental ramblings of Donald Trump and his mentally-challenged, Maga-loving supporters, I had begun to […]
Say What You Mean
Say What You Mean Are you just about over all the political commercials taking over the airwaves this past month? You know things are getting bad when you long for the days of accident attorneys and pharmaceutical advertisements. Perhaps some of the following has to do with the fact that Colorado has been deemed one […]
Once in Awhile You Get Shown the Light in the Strangest of Places if You Look at it Right
Once in Awhile You Get Shown the Light in the Strangest of Places if You Look at it Right Assumptions are like assholes: Everybody has them and they are usually full of shit. We all know that whenever you “assume” anything, you just end up making an “ass” out of “u” and “me”, but somehow […]
Beautiful, Unethical, and Dangerous
Beautiful, Unethical, and Dangerous I really don’t like sitting in traffic. Yes, I know that is true for just about everybody else on the planet as well, but seriously, I don’t like sitting in traffic. Unfortunately, the drive I do frequently along the corridor of I-70 from my house in the mountains down to the […]
Killing Me Loudly (The Death of Music in the Modern Era)
Killing Me Loudly (The Death of Music in the Modern Era) As one enters into their sixth decade on the plant, they become keenly cognizant of their detachment from modern pop culture and its manifestations in the realms of artistic expression. It becomes increasingly evident that you are quickly sliding into that territory of being […]
What’s it Worth to ‘Ya?
I must acknowledge here and now that I did not see this coming. I probably don’t write three sports columns a year in TRUTH: In 1000 Words or Less, let alone three in a row, but this week we will do just that. But sports are all about breaking records, so let’s go for it. […]
When Your Heroes Turn Out To Be Assholes
When Your Heroes Turn Out to be Assholes I love sports as much as the next guy, but I don’t remember the last time I wrote about sports two weeks in a row in TRUTH: In 1000 Words or Less. But then Brett Favre had to go and be the ultimate douche that he really […]
