  A phenomenon I sincerely enjoy is when privileged fools publicly take aim at other, rich fools in their pursuit of moral supremacy.  Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, Baldy of the Great Celtic Sea, Enabler of Chains, The Sunburnt, Prince of the Blandals and the worst men, protector of the single smoggy kingdom - has some words for Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, and Richard Branson regarding their recent foray into space exploration.  The English Royal Mascot decried the promotion of space tourism and said great brains and minds should be "trying to repair this planet, not trying to find the next place to go and live." Couple of things here. One - sending Captain Kirk to the thermosphere is not finding the next place to go and live. Two - simply picturing the mammoth proportions of the ball sack this guy must have to publicly chide "great brains" has broken my poor brain into several pieces.  For the record, I find this space tourism bit to be the wasteful folly of the ri...

I am not here to sully the patron saint of gabagool (pronounced capicola), or to suggest we rename holidays or tear down statues. We're just going to discuss some facts - some commonly known, others not so much. Then we can make a full determination on the life & legacy of Christopher Columbus, the director of  Home Alone . I can't cover everything here, so if you are upset that something positive or negative was omitted, or that I casually glossed over something you deem important, please email your mom.  Columbus was an Italian explorer with several big boats who convinced the Spanish to finance a trip to the Far East, after which he'd be entitled to a cut of whatever colonial enterprise & trade routes he subsequently established. But he landed in the Bahamas like a big dingus and called everyone Indians. This is the "spacing everything double to meet the two-page minimum in Word" of exploration. Subsequent trips included exploration of several islands i...

I have poor taste in shows, movies, music - any consumable entertainment you can conjure. So I am hardly a voice of reason or authority here. But how many shows featuring nurses, doctors, and first responders are they going to make?  I watched four or five commercials last night during the sports game and it's just a reel of shows coming soon, some old & some new, and the repetition is noticeable.  Something called "New Amsterdam" returns with a new season this fall. I have not watched a single episode of this show, but I can tell you that these people wear scrubs, save lives, and  fuck.  Some quick research tells me this show is based on the memoirs of an  actual  physician. It also sucks. The audience doesn't like the show. NBC renewed it for three (!!) additional seasons despite 34% audience approval.  Networks will shove first responder porn down your gullet and you will lap it up like a good dog. Here you have a show that hits all the right no...
