Technology Makes Us Dumber You know, believe it or not, there was a time once long ago, back in the 1990’s I believe it was, when I knew how to find my way to places without a GPS. They had these things back then; I believe they called them “maps”. I’m not sure what became […]
While You’re Busy Making Other Plans Whenever I stop to contemplate whether or not I am doing a decent job of raising my two blessed little ones in an often chaotic world full of parental obstacles and missteps, I take a moment to remember that my son’s two favorite bands are The Beatles and The […]
I Love Me, I Love You, I Love Everything A lot of you enjoy the columns where I pick a topic of recent interest and just go off on someone or something, one of those eternal ravings I am occasionally known for where I am literally frothing at the mouth as I cast vitriol in […]
Bag Your Own Damn Groceries (and other pet peeves) So the other day I was in the grocery store trying to pick up a few last-minute items to make dinner before picking up my kids from school. Even in the late afternoon, a time I had erroneously assumed would be relatively quiet since most people […]
Brown is the New Black by Steven A. Craig I’m going to preface this story with a brief explanation and appeal for understanding. Colorado, you see, is hardly the most racially diverse state in the nation. In fact, let’s be blunt, shall we? It’s pretty damn white. We may not be as absurdly Caucasian as […]
Truth: in 1000 words or less by Steven A. Craig Please Don’t Move Here Seriously people, please stop moving to Denver.

Shooting Democracy’s Brains Out I’m not going to lie; I’ve been putting this off for quite awhile now. I haven’t wanted to write a column about the gun epidemic in America. First of all, it’s never wise to piss off a bunch of people who, by definition, are packing heat. Second, I understand how divisive […]
The 450 Pound Gorilla in the Room I don’t generally write articles regarding the local goings-on of Cincinnati, Ohio. In fact, other than the occasional Herb Tarlick or Johnny Fever reference, I try to avoid mentioning anything in Cincy whatsoever, but the national news has been abuzz recently with the tragic circumstances that occurred […]
Whatever your politics might be, it is beginning to look like the next President of the United States is going to be taking her oath in a pants suit. However you may feel about it, the smart money right now has to be on Hilary. I’m going to go ahead and say it, folks: This […]
In response to my last column on the absolute shit show the 2016 presidential election has become, one of my relatives wrote back to me and suggested I “control my rage” and then implied, with hardly subtle irony, that I should vote for Hilary. Ah, I just love how nurturing and supportive my family is. […]
