A few years back, I was reading on the BBC website and I saw something that reallr surprised me. It was a survey of the greatest Christmas songs ever, and at the top of the list was a song I had never heard. In modern Britain, “Fairytale of New York” by the Pogues and Kirsty …

After yesterday’s Major Announcement, it’s nearly impossible to imagine Donald Trump as a serious candidate for president in 2024. Trump’s announcement is that he’s going to sell digital, aka virtual trading cards to his fans for $99 each. Especially with the implosion of the Bitcoin market, this might just be Trump’s ultimate test of P.T. …
Is there anything that has generated as many awful movies as Christmas? Even without Hallmark, Lifetime and Tim Allen, there are so many movies that are completely unwatchable if you have a three-digit IQ. Thank God for Billy Bob Thornton, even if he only hit on two of three. He scored big in two great …
Today is a 10th anniversary, but I don’t think I can write about Sandy Hook without a horrible increase in anxiety and/or blood pressure. So I’ll put and try something a little lighter. “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell just as sweet.” Sorry, Bill, but …

Eight years ago, a Facebook friend asked me to put together a list of my 100 favorite songs. For some unknown reasons, I did it. Then six years later, on this site, I added 42 more songs. I don’t think I’ll ever change those lists — too much work for just opinions –, but at …
Should it surprise anyone that Vladimir Putin is a Trumpanzee, or at the very least a Republican? Putin apparently wasn’t going to do anything like releasing Brittney Griner in time to give Joe Biden any kind of boost before last month’s midterm elections. He even strung it out past Tuesday’s runoff in Georgia, so Trump …
I was recently rereading an old favorite book. If I had to name my 10 favorite authors, Dan Jenkins would be on the list and he wouldn’t be 10th either. He wrote both fiction and non-fiction, and I thought he wrote the. funniest one-sentence sum-up I ever read ove the sport the rest of the …
I wish I could understand why people are so upset about the patriotic, God-fearing men we know as Trumpanzees who cased a power outage in Moore County, N.C., by shooting up two power substations and knocking out electricity to an entire area. Apparently all they were trying to do was prevent little children from being …
