At age 28, Greg Hardy should be lining up on Sunday afternoon for a professional football team.  He was an All Pro player in 2013, and his performance on the field cannot be questioned.  However, his behavior off the field is the problem.  Hardy can’t stay out of trouble, whether it’s being arrested for domestic […]

McDonald’s has tried valiantly to change its business around, to keep growth happening and to keep their place at the top of the fast food world, but it’s not happening quite as easily as it might have.  Mickey D’s attempt at all-day breakfasts hasn’t sparked the way it was expected, and while they’re still changing […]

When someone owns most of your company, it’s pretty hard to tell him no.  Sumner Redstone is a huge player in the media world, thanks to his company National Amusements.  National Amusements is a movie theater chain that also happens to own 80 percent of two massive media companies, CBS and Viacom.  So, in effect, […]

Fall is my favorite season.  The leaves change color, and food all takes on different properties.  That doughnut?  Now a pumpkin spice doughnut.  That latte?  Now it’s every white girl’s favorite drink, the pumpkin spice latte.  Pumpkin spice everything is out there, ready for the taking, so enjoy it while it lasts.  (Next is peppermint […]

You have 10 days or so to save up $649 plus taxes or find a smuggler.  That’s the going rate for the new iPhone 7, which will be hitting store shelves on September 16.  (The $649 will get you the small 32GB edition of the iPhone.)  If you want a new Apple Watch, that’ll be […]

The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 phone has been on sale since late August.  So, a couple of weeks now, at best.  However, as it turns out, there’s a little… well, a large problem with the phones.  They have a nasty habit of exploding.  Some 35 or so of the phones have exploded around the world, […]

Sometimes it’s easy to forget about someone when they choose to retire from the world, but someone like Gene Wilder could never be forgotten.  He made too big of an impression, with his high-strung nature, frizzy hair, and bugged-out eyes.  His impression might last, but the world is now short one genius actor.  Gene Wilder, […]

Let’s do lunch.  We need to have a lunch meeting.  Everyone bring your lunch, we’re working late.  Lunch is a big deal around the office, because for some people, it’s the only chance they get to leave the office.  For other people, lunch is an invaluable resource for making professional connections.  That’s where Lunchback comes […]

Worry not, bachelors.  You’ve got a goldmine in your cabinet, assuming you go to prison.  With changes in prison food availability, particularly less of it as part of cost-cutting measures around the country, there’s a new king on the prison trading market.  Move over cigarettes, prisoners are now using ramen noodles as prison currency.  That’s […]

Well, that didn’t last long.  In 2014, The Colbert Report went off the air so its star could go replace David Letterman on CBS.  They promoted from within, as they are wont to do, by bringing Larry Wilmore to the big stage.  Larry promptly fell flat on his face.  Low ratings and poor social media […]

It’s time.  For the next couple of weeks, the world is going to shut down and everyone’s going to huddle around televisions, radios, telephones, and computers to watch the best athletes in the world compete to see just who is the best.  I know I’ll be watching, and hundreds of millions of other people will […]

  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.  However, none of those have proven to be as dangerous to the general public as the zika virus, which is a horrible thing […]

Think 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 […]

The 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 […]
