Kang and Kodos for President
Much has been made about how The Simpsons “predicted the future” by portraying a “President Donald Trump” in one of its episodes 16-years ago. But the writers of the cartoon series were prescient even before that, predicting the situation we find ourselves in right now back in 1996 with a parody of the Bob Dole-Bill…… READ MORE
The Inequality of Summer
I hope the kids about to be set free from school this week enjoy these two and a half months of summer bliss–because that extended time off may be going away. I’ll admit that I have been a proponent of year-round school for some time. The modern school calendar is still rooted in the…… READ MORE
When Giants Walked the Earth
Today’s edition of “Things Were Better When I Was Your Age” is brought to you by the weekend death of Muhammad Ali. His passing gave me reason to check out his classic fights on YouTube and it got me thinking that somehow we are “de-volving” when it comes to sports. While track athletes are setting…… READ MORE
The Huckster In Chief
It is going to be a fun summer as we watch the layers of the onion that is Donald Trump slowly peeled away. Right now, The Donald is trying to deal with the release of documents related to multiple lawsuits filed against him for his now-defunct (an adjective we can use to describe many of…… READ MORE
Or You Could Try Showing Better Movies
I see the Cineplex here in Oshkosh is undergoing a major re-branding. A shiny flier in the mail tells me about the comfy new recliners in their “auditoriums” (apparently they aren’t “theaters” anymore) and the new restaurant style dining available there–even if you aren’t seeing a movie. I had to laugh when I saw that…… READ MORE
Small Acts of Kindness
After a long weekend up north, I came into work yesterday afternoon to prepare four days worth of stuff for this morning’s newscasts. That’s when my wife sent a text message shortly after we got back saying there was no mail in our box–but instead a large cell phone–one of those “phablets” with a screen bigger…… READ MORE
At Least No One Has Been Offended
When I think of how much the US has spent on “security” since the 9/11 attacks it depresses me. Entire new bureaucracies were created to deal with the “threat” of multiple hijackings or a dirty bomb or a mass shooting at a public event. Millions of man-hours are dedicated to screening procedures, billions were spent…… READ MORE
Living In Dangerous Times
We are living in dangerous times, my friends. A time when mere thoughts and words can be treated as “crimes against humanity”–and the “groupthink” envisioned by George Orwell in his novel 1984 is coming closer to reality. Take for example the incident at a San Diego Padres baseball game last weekend. The San Diego…… READ MORE
The Further Adventures Of Liberal Man!!
The hottest thing in pop culture today is superheroes. Comic books are almost cool, every other movie features installments of old and new superheroes and people dressed up like them are no longer treated like the biggest losers on the planet. Never one to pass up on an opportunity to cash in on a trend,…… READ MORE
