There's just something about a post-apocalyptic nightmare landscape featuring a lone warrior with a chip on his shoulder, fast cars, scantily clad females, and leather jackets--torn and frayed or not--that are appealing to me, and apparently lots of other folk. I've seen all the Mad Max flicks, with Road Warrior the standout favorite. With Mel …
Ode to the Golden Arches
Like a beacon you shine, bringing forth your golden light from along desolate highways. You offer warmth and familiarity, food and drink, and a place to rest and recuperate. Some of my earliest memories have you as a backdrop. You have always been there for me. As a child, my father rescued me from a …
Sleeping Beauty
I will state at the outset that I am a fan of Angelina's. She has the elusive "something about her" that strikes a chord with me and always has. So when I saw the first advertisement for Maleficent, with Angie peeking out from the trees and saying "then you'll be afraid" in that sultry voice, …

The fossil, archaeological and now genetic records have basically confirmed that East Africa is …
Casey Anthony and the Weight of Doubt
A jury of Casey Anthony’s peers has acquitted her of murder, of aggravated child abuse, and of aggravated manslaughter of a child. While she was convicted of lying to law enforcement, she has been incarcerated for 3 years and Judge Perry, applying the maximum sentence for the counts she was convicted of, calculated her release …
God Screws Big Ben
As everyone knows, God is actively involved in sporting events and helping athletes catch balls, score touchdowns and generally choosing sides in games. Athletes frequently kneel together in prayer and thanks following a touchdown, and who can forget Josh Hamilton thanking Jesus himself for getting the Texas Rangers past the New York Yankees in the …
Sports Fans Get Organized and Want Recognition
Serious sports fans around the country know their sports inside and out. As dedicated fans they have acquired a knowledge base and experience level that surpasses many of the professionals in the game. Just ask them if you don't believe it.
