Frankie Shaw’s SMILF Gets Renewed

There have been several variations formed out of the acronym MILF since the 90’s when it was first introduced to the mainstream in the movie American Pie.

For Modric And Croatia: Next Stop Russia 2018

Luka Modric and his compatriots will be one of the 32 nations taking photographs in Moscow’s Red Square next summer. Lenin’s tomb, St. Basil’s Cathedral, and the massive walls of the Kremlin are already poised and stationed for every photo opportunity. That is of course when they aren’t playing football. Croatia, the often underperforming yet […]

Marvel Writer Spots Racism On Kellogg’s Cereal Box Cartoon

Perhaps it was a printing room faux pas? A bit of the color sepia meant for the awning on the ‘Corn on a Stick’ stand crept in and colored the janitor in the same hue. Perhaps, the artist made a mistake? Whatever the reason, the Kellogg’s cartoon art on the back of their Kellogg’s Corn […]

Police Officers Denied Service At Restaurant

The chasm between the public and law enforcement grows wider and wider with the passing time, with every report in the media appearing to paint the police in a negative light. Unaware of the truest statistics and what it takes to protect and to serve, this only creates enmity and fear, where there ought to […]

Son Of Sandusky: The Sins Of The Father

It would appear as though the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree if the old adage bears any credence. The same holds true if that apple happens to be a grafted orange, as in the case of Jeffrey Sandusky. The adopted son of imprisoned former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky, on Friday, pled […]

On A Monday In September

A welcome respite from all the dregs we have had to stomach all summer is long overdue. When we should have been choking on perspiring hot dogs dabbed with mustard and relish, we were forced fed explicit gang violence in Chicago and cop shootings in the Twin Cities. In lieu of cold lager meant to […]

A Sense Of Community: 2017’s Best & Worst Community Colleges – Wallethub Study

The problem with community college is that it is no longer referred to as junior college. Back when it was, you could convince people you had a professor just like Robin Williams’ character in that movie, where an offbeat pedagogue steered young boys away from a future laced with cocaine addiction and white-collar crime. Incidentally, […]

Suffocating Venezuela: Maduro’s Fragile State

Cans of tear gas bounce off of riot shields, from which they came. Soldiers are reinforced by armored vehicles and fire trucks, but the rabble continues on in unmitigated protest. Armed with rocks and Molotov cocktails because – even though they outnumber the soldiers of the Bolivarian Revolution – an edge does not guarantee victory […]

The Beginning Of The End For MS-13?

To the American tongue honed on the words of television and Webster’s Dictionary, the name Mara Salvatrucha 13 may not roll off so easily. MS-13, on the other hand, shares the fluidity of such initials as NYC or LA, which apart from its violent nature, makes Mara Salvatrucha 13 easy to remember. The gang’s violent […]

MayMac Media Tour: Next Stop, Las Vegas

Risible and downright hilarious at times — like the crowd chanting for Mayweather to “take off that shirt” — cringeworthy and offensive at others. The media tour supporting the much-anticipated Las Vegas fracas between two title holders in their respective sports wrapped up in London on Friday. The event dubbed MayMac over its run of […]
