    Political Shenanigans

    While I am a strong advocate of democracy, election season is my least favorite time of year primarily due to the over abundance of political ads. But, the bright side to this is the ads are getting more and more entertaining. Election season is that wonderful time where television commercials and social media feed transform…

  • How Pizza Saved a Nation

    How Pizza Saved a Nation

    Pizza does so much more than satisfy hunger. It brings people together. In the not so distant past, in a small, vibrant nation we’ll call Pizzoria, a tremendous crisis had gripped the country. Political division and economic downturn had driven its citizens to the brink of despair. Discontent simmered on every street corner, and the…

  • The Big No-No’s of Writing

    Writing might symbolize freedom of speech, but there are some things writers, and people in general, don’t need to speak about… Over the course of my public writing career, and still now, plenty of people have offered up advice about what I should write about. These conversations often start out with a line like, “Hey,…

  • I Voted. Did You?

    I Voted. Did You?

    Not much to say on this… If you don’t vote, you can’t complain. If you did vote, hopefully you voted correctly. If you did not vote correctly, I will probably be complaining.

  • Why Do We Care What Celebrities and Athletes Think?

    Why Do We Care What Celebrities and Athletes Think?

    Unless they’re talking about pizza or their given professions, the public really shouldn’t care much about what celebrities and professional sports figures have to say, especially when it comes to politics and current events of the world… It bothers me tremendously when I hear these people voicing their opinions about world affairs. What makes them…

  • I Need a Sign to Ban Election Signs!

    I Need a Sign to Ban Election Signs!

    Election season is almost upon us. This means all the “vote for me” signs are popping up like weeds in yards of homes and on street corners. To be blunt, I don’t care who you plan to vote for… There are two things in life everyone should keep to themselves: Politics and religion. Yes, I…

  • Why I Don’t Read Political Posts

    Why I Don’t Read Political Posts

    Opinions posted on social media are like people’s butt cracks. Everybody has one, but we don’t all need to see them.. I’ve been on Facebook for many years, but I was never one to post very often, especially rants. Nor was I ever an overly political person until the 2016 elections when America was so…

  • I’m offended that you’re offended…

    I’m offended that you’re offended…

    In a time where everyone is offended by everything, I’ve decided I’m offended by others being offended… Political correctness really bothers me. I don’t like being told what I’m allowed (or not allowed) to think. It’s not because I’m a rebel, nor is it because I’m a writer, but because I’m human.  Whether its politics,…

  • Election Day – A Time For Friendship (Not)

    Election Day – A Time For Friendship (Not)

    Oh election day… How do I love thee? Let me count the ways… I’ve overheard so many conversations recently about “who are you going to vote for?”, which is usually followed by either “thank goodness” or “oh my God, why?”. I’ve watched the facial expressions of disbelief when someone disagrees with whoever is asking the…

  • Can I Have Lunch With President Trump Like Kanye West Did?

    Can I Have Lunch With President Trump Like Kanye West Did?

    On 10/11/18, rapper and national village idiot Kanye West had a “working lunch” with President Trump to discuss critical issues affecting our nation. For anyone who knows Kanye West, including White House staffers, this should have immediately raised a few red flags that something stupid was coming. For whatever reason despite common sense saying otherwise,…

  • Be the Change…VOTE!

    Be the Change…VOTE!

    Morals and values seem to have fallen by the wayside. Respect and kindness are things of the past. Common sense has become an offensive phrase that should never be mentioned. Crime is out of control, our public schools are on the verge of collapse and our political system has become a joke. Our world is…
