I have. And come on, man. I invite you to take a gander at murder rates and health care in first world nations, for starters.

This makes me hate both Kanye and Leonard Cohen.

As an unfortunate Viking fan, and therefore a Packer hater, this Packers team has me feeling ambivalent. I thought I was going to have to wait for AR to retire before they were awful, so them falling apart with him in his prime is wonderful, to the point that I don’t really care if the Vikings make the playoffs (let’s…

At our 24 Hour Fitness Chopped is always on on Tuesdays. It’s like Drew is cheering us on!

Years ago, when I was a young aspiring writer, Rossio’s screenwriting site Wordplayer was my favorite place to go for advice and support. He always seemed like a good guy; in fact, I got into several dumb online arguments…

Well THAT needs to change. Anybody who works with youth should be a mandated reporter, period.

The “adults” all prioritize money over human beings.
