Ted Cruz = Frank Burns (from MASH) Old reference I know but I think fairly correct.

Why does every snippet of background music nowadays have to be so overproduced? Sawing violins and cellos, chorus effects? A little mandolin or banjo on this would have been authentic and made the overly slick looking movie a little more down homey.

Thank you! Dewey Cox was so funny and totally under rated and mostly forgotten. Maybe after this Hank Williams Biopic, more people will discover the Dewey Cox story and laugh their asses off.

I saw this coming as soon as I heard his name was involved. I have never watched the show, but every time David Foster has been on a TV show he is always announced as “Fourteen time Grammy winner David Foster” (I might have the number wrong). Anyways, it must be in his contracts to announce his resume` like that. He…

Think he ever gets the two confused?

Not completely sure how you meant that but it is something I have wondered about as well. The problem with my family though is that they have inoculated themselves from any help by simply calling all psychiatrists quacks. So if my sister was suffering from a mental disorder, it would just be chalked up to her being…

I know how you feels. It really only has been in the last decade that I finally learned that it is normal for relationships to fade away. The majority do. I mourned the loss of every friend I ever had. Thought I was the worst. But reading magazines like Psychology Today and then reading lots of blogs like this one and…

Thank you Crystal. You are sweet and again I am reminded of the love and comfort of strangers. I wasn’t lonely. I have my wife and immediate family around me. I also am an introvert and really don’t have a huge bunch of friends that I have to stay current with. But I guess with my sister it just seems so out of the…

I haven’t gone through divorce and I am sorry that you have. This underlines how tenuous family connections are. I am very skeptical about how much extended family really has anyone’s back. My own flesh and blood sister has broken off communication with me since July (when my father passed) and although I reached out…

I think this lawyer Phillip Johnson https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phillip_E… might be the source of that tidy analogy you mentioned. I read, and for a time believed Johnson’s arguments when I was a young adult. He really is the architect of the Intelligent Design school of thought. But I am a Scientist and I gave up…

The proof of the insanity of tattoos to mark something as permanent just keeps rolling in.

Congratulations women. Quite a milestone I must say.

I think Mariah has finally come to the end of her incredible popstar career. She is 45 now and no young person is going to adulate her like the fans she managed to persuade to keep buying her music up until she was almost 40. She had a spectacular run and made history. But it is over. I don’t know if anyone else will…

So the people at the prayer meeting in the church in Charleston were also asking for it too? God took his wrath out on them for praying in the same way these concertgoers were asking for it? This Swanson nut is just that...a bitter nut.

Well well you have very high standards lady. I hope you marry a blind man and he will never fail you. Most of us find that some compromise is in order. Some from him and some from her.

I read the book a few years ago and found it gripping. I am only glad they have left the cannibalism bit in it. All of us chubby or even chiseled 2015 Americans easily forget how desperate hunger and hopelessness can make someone.

Ironic but not too surprising. Cop kids and preacher kids are well known, at least anecdotally, to be hell raisers. Something about their Dad’s (or Mom’s) being powerful makes them feel more immune to laws and standards.

Selena Gomez wins most beautiful feet award!

I can’t wait until men only have sex and think about sex with robots. Will that make everyone happy? And I am not defending the creeps mentioned in the article above or the comments here below. It IS a problem when bosses hit on their young employees (It is classic sexual harassment). But as a male it just seems that…

I know how you feel. There has been so much of this type of extreme and ridiculous behavior lately and so many statements that I never thought I would hear in my lifetime. It is beyond parody at this point.
