A Study in Contrasts

September 28, 2009September 28, 2009 1

A week or so ago, New York anchorman Ernie Anastos dropped an f-bomb on live television. The picture below shows him and co-anchor Dari Alexander reacting after Anastos told their weatherman to “keep (having a loving and committed physical relationship […]

Big Brother Rewind

September 22, 2009

I managed to go the entire season of “Big Brother” this past summer without writing about the show. Part of it is possibly because I, like many other fans, feel a little embarrassed about enjoying the show as much as […]

A Stroke of Luck

September 20, 2009September 20, 2009 1

Thirty years ago this month, something momentous happened in my life. I had a stroke of luck which would help define me up until this day. I got strep throat. More specifically, I got sent home from school with strep […]

You Just Have To

September 16, 2009September 16, 2009 1

I hate the phrase “have to” as in “you have to watch this show” or “you have to find this funny.” A former co-worker would always respond to comments like that with a surly, “I don’t have to do anything.” […]

For Goodness Sake!

September 15, 2009September 15, 2009

The FCC is looking once again at the “wardrobe malfunction” at the Super Bowl 374 years ago. They still maintain that the nanosecond of Janet Jackson’s nipple was obscene. Really? We’re still on this? We’re still worried about a brief […]

R.I.P. Larry Gelbart

September 15, 2009September 14, 2009

I feel very lucky that I grew up watching M*A*S*H almost as it happened. My family had an almost obsession with the show. In fact, I have almost every episode in my basement – on video tape from back in […]

All Talk

September 14, 2009

When I posted something on Facebook last week about the new sports betting law in Delaware, one friend replied, “regulardegenerategambler.com.” The post cracked me up for a couple of reasons. First off, I knew I had kind of belabored the […]

A Futile Quest

September 13, 2009

One of my biggest problems is that I don’t always learn from my mistakes. Generally this doesn’t affect anyone else, but I inconvenienced the rest of my family on Labor Day when we decided to go out for lunch. Holiday […]

A Little Help

September 12, 2009

In a couple of months, I have to the west coast travel for work. Sadly, it’s not Vegas. This will require some fairly long plane rides. I need entertainment. I will have my iPod and some reading material, but I […]

The Impetus

September 11, 2009 4

Like so many other people, I remember the particulars of 9/11 very clearly. I remember hearing on the radio – I was streaming the BBC at work – about a commuter plane crashing. I remember an old boss talking about […]
