That's not gonna work either. Turns out this new Chicago Pope is pretty damned (relatively) liberal too, touring South America and paying homage to that "radical leftist" Pope Francis on his home turf. I even heard that even Sean Hannity has stated that he's no longer Catholic because the...

It was my "Friday" at work, and I fully intended to spend my meal credit (one of the perks of working for Door Dash) on a dish from a local New Mexico style Mexican restaurant. I'd ordered enough from them to earn a "reward" so I could spend a little more, and the Adovada pork ribs drenched in...

And as the old joke goes, if Don Jr. were found to be dragging down the Don himself, Trump would happily cut him loose and say "I hardly knew the guy." It is too early to tell, but at least on some level, Fragilego Mussolini seems to grasp that his Presidency is well and truly fucked, and if...

Even here in the "wild wild west" of Arizona it appears that even the "liberal" politicians don't grasp that the statewide ban on internet porn (of all kinds) can be circumvented with one click over to a VPN. Or do they? We're at an interesting intersection of tech and politics at this point...

So, she's "expressed concern" that she lost?

Still too early to tell, but here in AZ it looks like it might be the first time in over 60 years that Republicans lose their hammerlock on the legislature. Hobbs won the governor's race convincingly, our AG and SoS have made it past the post, and even the State Mine Inspector's race has gone blue.

As if he couldn't be more awesome, Sir Patrick Stewart was at the top of Top Gear.

I am a huge B5 fan (even got to have a lovely conversation with Ms. Claudia Christian awhile back) and yeah...Bester was fantastic. Walter imbued him with a gleeful villainy but also a deep and tragic back story. Now that I think about it, the B5 cast has suffered so many losses...from main...

Continue following their example as best as you can, or if you can, be an example. A lesson I learned about 40 years ago from my dad - though I'm sure he never intended to pass it on so soon - was "live your life in such a way that your funeral is standing room only." I try to live up to that...

In Tempe where I work, there are lots of Asian places, to put it mildly. I tried out a new (to me) Japanese place the other day. Ordered a Bento Box with Teriyaki steak, pot stickers, salad and some California rolls. The salad and stickers were heavy on the cabbage, and while I'm not a fan of...

I'd like to think we're approaching a "King Charles I of England" moment, but it appears we're headed towards more of an "end of the Roman Republic/start of the Empire" thing. Not that I'm opposed to Trump meeting a bunch of people with sharp objects, but...

When I was a morning show producer for a country station, we did a version of his song "Money In The Bank" to celebrate the opening of Bank One Ballpark and the debut of Major League Baseball in Phoenix. Ours was "A Ballpark Named After A Bank" and our co-host had a dead-on John Anderson...

I did some stand-up gigs after going to a local comedy school. Played the Improv a few times. Got good feedback from actual working comics. Decided it wasn't for me and stopped after I had a really good set at a theater. If someone had offered me an HBO special, I've have said "wow, thanks...

I watched a bit of her interview on Hannity, and even he seemed exasperated by her. It appears that the selection process was little more than "is she blonde? Is she pretty? Can she start right away?" and then she blamed her lack of preparedness on...pretty much everything other than her. It...

This reminds me...after I get done with my upcoming appointments with the occupational therapist, orthodontist, psychiatrist, and eye doctor, I need to get my annual flu shot and the "jab." Gotta make sure the software in my microchip is updated to the latest release.
