A Woman Scorned…

This post is about abortion. Viewer discretion is advised… When is abortion NOT controversial, so I felt it was necessary to open with the equivalent of a movie black screen MPAA warning… you’ve been warned… The right to have an abortion was decided via Roe v Wade on January 22, 1973 by a 7-2 vote […]

Arby’s Had the Meats…

Why can’t chicken restaurants just sell chicken? To that end, Arby’s is now making burgers. But not just any burger… a wagyu burger.  Before I get into what wagyu is, I want to talk about Arby’s… and Burger King… and Dominos Pizza. Everyone is trying to diversify. But is it working?

White Hot: The Rise and Fall of Abercrombie & Fitch

This is a documentary more than a film and I’d like to treat it as such with a full feature account of its contents as opposed to a review of the quality of the production. There are no actors with whom a performance needs to be dissected and no story to be told with color. […]

Saints vs. Colts: Re-match of Super Bowl XLIV

This is not how it went down the first time… Same outcome, different details. 62-7. WTF. I said I thought this season was going to be an exercise in extremes. Extremes it is… I really feel for the Colts. They’re j...

The Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial

I went to see the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial in early August, 2011. Luckily, there was a window of time after it was finished and before it was dedicated when it was open to the public. I got in on that window. The first ...
