It is impossible for me, the daughter of a diehard Catholic father, to deny that twelve years of parochial education have not had an effect on me. If my math is correct, by the time I graduated high school I had attended 624 Sunday masses and heard an equal number of… Read full post »

Let’s talk about John Rydberg, who for the past two decades has been a guest at a Minnesota State Correctional facility. Rydberg is the worst type of sexual predator – the kind who takes pleasure in inflicting emotional as well as physical pain. By his own admission, Rydberg has committed… Read full post »

Last year, at the age of 14, Bobby Martinez, Jr. of Belle Glade, Florida kidnapped and repeatedly raped a ten year old girl. Martinez did not know this child. She was a stranger to him as he was to her. Yet, without reason, he brutalized her in the… Read full post »

The life of a commuter is a tedious repetition of the same roads/same (idiot) drivers/same epithets issued daily – morning and evening – and requiring the ability to zone out in order to clock in. The quest for a paycheck that barely covers essentials demands that I adhere to this routine… Read full post »

Out of Jackson, Mississippi comes a report that the Mississippi Division of Sons of Confederate Veterans is pushing a proposal that would allow for a series of state issued license plates to mark the 150th anniversary of the Civil War.

Somehow the clear blue skies and crisp, clean air that were a welcome gift from Mother Nature Saturday morning seemed an affront to me as I made my way from the parking lot of (former) Loehmann’s Plaza to the PGA Cinema Six. Behind the double glass entrance doors, members of the… Read full post »

The Internet is the most awesome invention of our time and the most destructive depending on whose fingers are manipulating a keyboard.

In the past sixty-one years, I’ve met and worked for a number of people whom, I believe, could be/should be diagnosed as sociopaths. If degrees of impa… Read full post »

To listen to Burt Reynolds talk about his life is to be welcomed into the warm embrace of an old friend. At least, that’s how the 500 people who filled the Lyric Theatre (Stuart, Florida) to capacity felt last night.  This historic venue with its worn wood rafters and stucco… Read full post »

Seems a night doesn’t go by when one journalist or another isn’t spouting about the most recent lawsuit against some fast food giant. The Center for Science in the Public Interest has gone so far as to lure one San Francisco mother into filing a claim against McDonald’s for…… Read full post »

What does this one say?

Before I even pull out of the driveway each morning, my fingers reach for the radio knob on the dashboard and, with a flick of the wrist; I tune myself into the world beyond my front door. My station of choice is 107.9 WIRK – Jeff Elliott in the Morning. Jeff… Read full post »
