In the 2008 Presidential Election, almost 60 percent of white males cast their ballot for Senator John McCain.

When was the last time you laughed at something intended to be serious or saw a movie at the multiplex so bad it's good? If you're like me, it's been a long while. The '70s and '80s were certainly the golden age of unintentional comedy. Who could forget the three William… Read full post »

While sales of luxury goods such as jewelry and fragrances are expected to drop 20 percent in the first two quarters of 2009, one luxury item continues to sell: baseball tickets. Attendance is down only 5.2% compared with the same number of home games at each park a year ago, a… Read full post »

Barbs against introverts are not only the domain of locker room Neanderthals and loutish drunks at the bar. Even the sophisticates at National Public Radio see fit to drop their façade of political correctness where we are concerned. A sound clip on the NPR website began with this text introdu/… Read full post »

My favorite concert is incidentally one I almost missed entirely. On our drive to the concert, a woman drove her brand new Lexus right off the dealer's lot and into the rear bumper of my 1/2 ton Dodge Ram. Apparently she had been bragging on her cell phone about her new… Read full post »

During my life, I’ve seen more musicians in action than anyone not named Cynthia Plaster Caster or Pamela Des Barres. I worked as a mobile food vendor and moonlighted as a third shift bellhop in my twenties, which meant I got to see every musical act that came to town for… Read full post »
