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.

White Hot: The Rise and Fall of Abercrombie & Fitch

The Debate Over the Economy
I have made a point not to write about the debt ceiling or the national debt or the shenanigans of our national elected officials until today, August 2, 2011. Why? Because I knew they would string this out until the last minute...
The NFL Lockout – Who’s the Biggest *Player*
I mean that in the most socially casual way… Because the exact details of the contract are not for public consumption, I’m not sure who – if anyone – got pimped. But, if you look at this strictly in dollars ...
