Happy 4th of July. Now you are dead. In your teens. Mass shootings in Indianapolis and Chicago are just a few of the ways we Americans like to celebrate our Day of Independence. Alligator Alcatraz. I understand the logic. Take your chances with the crocodiles and pythons or get your skin bleached, dress up likeContinue reading “Another Day in the Life”

Brace Yourself
The Russian head of the Ministry of Oil has “fallen out of a window” (oops!) as have many people who found themselves in disfavor with none other than that little bald lawn gnome Putin. Oh yeah. He left a suicide note. Right. Talk about blowing my mind… France is placing a ban on smoking inContinue reading “Brace Yourself”
Hold My Beer
Well I guess the question of just how the American MLS (Major League Soccer) stacks up against world-class competition has been answered. Sorry, Sir David. It doesn’t. Not by a long shot.

Seriously, Folks
Rack ‘em Up
If you are having girlfriend problems…. No problem. Just leave. End of story. But DON’T throw her overboard into the ocean knowing that she does not know how to swim. That’s just downright rude. Helen Hunt feels really good about rejecting Hollywood’s beauty standards, but it’s not like she was ever a raging beauty inContinue reading “Rack ‘em Up”
Kings and Dumbasses
Some dumbass in Oklahoma (where else?) is being put to death thirteen years after he set a “beloved” grandmother on fire. Jeez. I wonder what he’d do if he really, really loved her? Dumbass Thomas David Carruth, a 64-year old former judge, will sit in jail for the next two years as part of hisContinue reading “Kings and Dumbasses”
That’s It!
To quote the great navigator Popeye, “That’s all I can stands, I can’t stands no more!” Ruben Amorim must go. Manchester United looked like a bunch of aimless idiots against Tottenham, a team that has somehow managed less points than the Red Devils in the Premier League. If the league season were a few matchesContinue reading “That’s It!”
