There are all kinds of crazy diseases out there, and that’s something that people are rightfully concerned with. There was swine flu, then feline flu, then all other kinds of flus.

Longtime Friends Fired From Sesame Street
Posted 7/28/2016 8:17 pm by Ron HoganHonestly, I don’t think I watched a lot of Sesame Street when I was a child. I remember some vague things, like Kermit wearing an overcoat and a hat with a press card, but other than that, I think I missed out on the Sesame Street train. Sadly, that means I missed out on a […]
Read »Reagan Assassin John Hinkley Is Going Free
Posted 7/27/2016 10:08 pm by Ron HoganThink of the biggest events of the 1980’s, and what do you think of? Maybe MTV. Maybe the NASA Challenger explosion. Or, perhaps, the assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan. It’s a huge deal. John Hinkley Jr. grabbed a revolver and fired into the crowd of people, nearly killing the President of the United States […]
Read »New Zealand Declares War On Rats
Posted 7/26/2016 8:35 pm by Ron HoganInvasive species are a serious problem. Once an animal gets into an environment where it has no real predators, there’s no telling what will happen. Florida is overrun with pythons; they’re even fighting off local gators. If a gator can’t stand up to invasive species, what could a flightless bird do against predators? If that […]
Read »The NBA Moves The 2017 All-Star Game
Posted 7/21/2016 9:00 pm by Ron HoganThe NBA All-Star Game is a huge deal for teams. It brings thousands of fans and millions of dollars to the communities that host it, and it makes sense that the NBA would want its showcase event be as accessible as possible to everyone. To that end, the NBA has been mindful of the laws […]
Read »Donald Trump Gets His Wall
Posted 7/20/2016 9:02 pm by Ron HoganDonald Trump has somehow become the Republican nominee for President of the United States despite being pretty unpopular, both in his own party and in the general public. Trump hasn’t been afraid of anyone, and he’s not been worried about keeping anyone other than his rabid supporters happy. No matter what he says or does, […]
Read »Kim And Kanye Versus T.Swift
Posted 7/18/2016 12:34 pm by Ron HoganWhen two music superstars are feuding, the winners tend to be the fans. After all, usually fighting makes for good music, and there’s a litany of rap diss tracks to prove it, as well as the entirety of Taylor Swift’s record-setting disography. Now, once again, T.Swift and Kanye West are fighting in public, this time […]
Read »Denver Offers Von Miller Record-Breaking Contract
Posted 7/15/2016 1:30 pm by Ron HoganDenver won the Super Bowl last season, beating Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers. They didn’t beat them throwing the ball; gone are the days of Peyton Manning breaking records. After a couple of great offensive years since joining the Broncos, Peyton Manning lost his arm last year and the team basically carried him through […]

Posted 7/12/2016 9:59 pm by Ron HoganThere’s nothing cooler than an animal show. I know they’re not encouraged these days, and that’s fine, but if you get a chance to pet a ray or see a dolphin jump through a hoop or splash around in a pool or something cool like that. If it can be some sort of exotic animal, […]
Read »Pokemon Go Is Catching All Your Private Info
Posted 7/11/2016 6:30 pm by Ron HoganEveryone’s downloaded Pokemon Go. I have, you have, no doubt everyone I know has at least considered it. It’s a boon for Nintendo; the company’s worth $5 billion dollars more than they were a few weeks ago. It’s a boon for Niantic Labs and Alphabet Company (Google’s parent), because they’re behind the hottest game on […]
Read »If You Eat At Wendy’s, You Were Probably Hacked
Posted 7/07/2016 10:02 pm by Ron HoganOf the major fast food chains in the United States, my favorite is probably Wendy’s. I’m not sure why. My mom loves the Frosty. I think the reason why I like Wendy’s, though, is because of the chili. I love chili, and I don’t always want to make it for myself or open a can […]
Read »First Passenger Killed In Driverless Car
Posted 7/02/2016 3:43 pm by Ron HoganDriverless cars are the future. We already have cars that help us parallel park, and every company seems to be getting in on the driverless car game, from Google to Tesla to the Department of Defense. So far, so good, by and large. There have been accidents, but they’ve typically been the fault of other […]
Read »OJ Mayo Hit With Two-Year Drug Ban
Posted 7/01/2016 6:50 pm by Ron HoganThe NBA has worked hard to get its drug issues under control. Back in the 1970’s and 1980’s, cocaine abuse was rampant. These days, the only drugs being used are probably pot and other small-time recreational relaxants and nothing quite so serious or potentially deadly. (They may also be using PEDs, but there’s no telling […]
