The Dirty Dozen
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya………. I had to pat myself on the back last night after Mariano Rivera recorded the last out for the Yankees for them to win the World Series. Did I call this one pretty good or what? In earlier posts, I predicted the Yankees win it in 6. They did. I predicted […]
OK, We Get It—You Wrote a Book
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya…………. Like oh-so-many great observations, this one came from that group of drunken slobs that I watch football with on Sundays. For a bunch of guys who can’t win a confidence pool or their fantasy team games, they sure do see the rest of the world in a pretty clear light. I […]
So what’s up in the news lately ?
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya………… There’s been some fairly interesting things going on in the news the last week or so. Let’s take a quick look…. * While I was watching the Hawks game at one of my favorite watering holes on Friday, the news came out that Chicago was the first city rejected in the 2016 Olympics […]
A Couple of Updates and Random Thoughts
Dude, I’m tellin ya………….. I thought I’d go back and address a couple of points or predictions I made recently and see how they came out. Maybe offer up a couple of new random thoughts or observations as well. In my first-ever blog on this site, I ranted about the special treatment that celebs get—-particularly […]
Survivor season kicks off this past Thursday
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya……………….. Before I get into the first episode of the latest season of Survivor that premiered this past Thursday (9/17), I wanted to share a little story. My brother hates these reality shows. Like me, he enjoys mocking and ripping on the contestants, their petty squabbles, and the whole genre in general. […]
Here’s to another upcoming season of Survivor
Dude, I’m tellin ya……. Yes, I admit it. Sometimes I listen to Neil Diamond or Mariah Carey music. Sometimes I watch reruns of Friends. I almost——ALMOST—teared up watching Million Dollar Baby when the girl boxer got paralyzed. And when Edith Bunker died on All in the Family. And I admit that I am a big-time, rabid fan […]
Making stars out of scum
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya………. One of the things that really grinds my gears is how the media make celebrities out of pure filth. We’re talking about the dregs of society here. Women that ruin political careers. Women that have eight babies putting her own health and the health of every one of the newborns in […]
Will the Media Give it a Rest Already ?
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya……. Now here’s one of those topics that would have absolutely no legs to it if it weren’t for the media pretending the public has an unquenchable thirst for more discusion. The octomom is a good example. Not one person I know personally ever gave a damn about this woman. No one spoke about […]
The celebrity bennies never end
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya……. It’s not enough that all these celebrities that get shoved down our throat every day get paid all the money that we are oh-so aware of. We all know a Julia Roberts or a Brad Pitt or a Jim Carrey get $20 million a movie. Or that Derek Jeter or Alex […]
