This year’s political circus is one of the nastiest I can remember in recent memory.  For all the flack Obama took in both his terms, it wasn’t nearly as bad as what the current nominees are going through.  Whether you support Hillary Clinton, are down with Donald Trump, feel the Bern with Bernie Sanders, or put your support behind recent race quitter Ted Cruz, I think we can all agree that his has been a mess, and the nasty stuff on our political screens is bleeding over into real life.  A Donald Trump supporter refused to give a Bernie Sanders supporter a tow with his tow truck.

The person in need of the tow was Cassy McWade, 25, whose car was involved in an accident outside of Ashville, North Carolina.  When the tow truck arrived, the tow truck driver took one look at the bumper stickers on the car and decided that he’d get his money elsewhere.  Now I’ve never seen anyone refuse a tow, but the tow truck driver has a pretty good excuse for just why he refused to take the money, or more likely, the headache.

“I’ve had some horrible experiences in the last six months with towing cars for this mindset [of] individuals, in that I don’t get paid,” said Shupee Max Used Cars & Towing owner Ken Shupe.  “They want to argue about a $50 tow bill, and it turns into just a drama and a fuss.  And I said, you know, I’m not going to associate with them, and I’m not going to do any business with them.”

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
