Alabama, Clemson, Ohio State, Repeat… So how many of you out there watched the National Championship college football game between Alabama and Ohio State last Monday night? Yeah, me neither. I absolutely love me some football, but I cannot stand to watch the college game. Sure, you can rack it up to the fact that […]
Who Lit This Dumpster on Fire? So this is where we are at as a country, huh? Well, that precipitous decline into moral bankruptcy and societal anarchy sure didn’t take long, now did it? What we witnessed last Wednesday was the tragic demise of American exceptionalism (if such a thing ever really existed) and the […]
More New Year’s Resolutions I’m Sure Not to Keep Well, here we are, a full week into 2021, and so far at least, it has sucked less than 2020. Admittedly that is one hell of a low bar of expectations, but right about now, we will all take it. I’m not sure where you were […]
Jesus’s Christmas Wish List Well, ladies and gentleman, it’s time to break out the spiked eggnog and yuletide cheer. Time to don those dilapidated Santa hats and reindeer antlers all while adorning your house with more lights than a Vegas casino. The holidays are upon us. And though I do not ascribe to Christianity per […]
To Vaccinate or Not to Vaccinate? I’m going to start this week’s TRUTH: In 1000 Words or Less with a candid acknowledgement that my title for this week’s column represents a false dichotomy. I’m really not sure the whole vaccine debate can be summarily wrapped up into those two starkly different choices. In fact, by […]
Further Down the Rabbit Hole “‘Will you walk into my Parler?” said the Spider to the Fly.“The Spider and the Fly”, Mary Howitt, 1829 (I may have changed spelling to match the stupidity of others) So I may or may not have been having a somewhat contentious debate with a conservative friend of mine on […]
What I’m Even More Grateful For- 2020 Edition I love holiday traditions. I know that may sound a bit discordant with my sometimes jaded sense of humor, but I am a complete sap for the time-honored pastimes that come with this time of year. Be it the soporific couch-indulgences of unwatchable Lions football games, the […]
A Portlandia Utopia? Amidst all the chaos of the 2020 election, many of you probably missed a significant little happening up there in the Pacific Northwest. No, I am not talking about Antifa protests or the fact that Russell Wilson might actually garner a few MVP votes this year. I am referring to the fact […]
(No Longer) Proud to be an American Ok, this is it, I promise. After today, I will not write again about the 2020 election. I just don’t have it in me. After months of hyper-tension no doctor can alleviate and at least a few emergency sessions spent on a therapist’s couch, I, like most of […]
Why Women Should Rule the World I’m just going to come right out and say it: Women should rule the world for awhile. God knows we men have been doing it for quite some time, and let’s face it, things ain’t goin’ so hot, so maybe it’s time to pass the reins over for a […]
