As bad as things have been for Bill Cosby since numerous and well-publicized allegations of sexual misconduct against him began entering the public forum, he has not seen any criminal charges come of the uproar…until now. On Wednesday, Bill Cosby was criminally charged in Pennsylvania for the first time in connection with the numerous sexual assaults he is accused of committing over a period of several decades. The case that brought about this initial charge concerns an allegation that he drugged and sexually attacked a woman in his home 12 years ago. As opposed to the civil suits he is... Read more →

Ethan Couch made headlines in 2013 when, driving drunk as a 16-year-old and killing four people (and also badly injuring two others), his defense team successfully argued that he suffered from the “disease” of “affluenza.” Affluenza is basically a pop psychology concept that refers to the inability of a person to connect bad behavior with consequences as a result of having lived a privileged lifestyle. While much of the public believes that the average person convicted of what Couch had done would have been sent to prison for decades, the court’s receptiveness to the affluenza defense translated into Couch receiving...

As students at W.R. Castle Elementary School in Kentucky were recently preparing their presentation of the now-classic “A Charlie Brown Christmas,” a decree came down from Johnson County Schools Superintendent Thomas Slayer that any and all religious references, to include the Bible verse recited by “Charlie Brown” character Linus Van Pelt, were off-limits from all school activities. The decree from Superintendent Slayer came after what was apparently a lone complaint from just one parent. For those of you who remember watching “A Charlie Brown Christmas” on TV as a kid, or who may still watch it today, the verse likely... Read more →

Miss Puerto Rico 2015, Destiny Velez, has found herself in some very hot water after posting a wave of anti-Muslim tweets; besides having to face a strong public backlash, she has been suspended indefinitely by the Miss Puerto Rico Organization. The apparent catalyst for Ms. Velez’s social media messages was the initiation of a campaign last week by filmmaker and outspoken hyper-liberal Michael Moore in support of Muslims. Specifically, Moore was seeking to have people everywhere make signs reading “We are all Muslim,” and then post photographs of themselves holding those signs throughout the social media universe. A screen grab... Read more →

Prepping is a funny thing; most people will admit that it is a good idea, when you discuss with them all of the scenarios in which being prepared makes sense, but then so few will actually go out and engage in even the most basic preparations in order to withstand distressed conditions. Cost can be a big part of the reason why some do not move forward, but I’ve not found the obstacle of cost to be the real impediment to prepping that many claim it is. In my experience, the biggest reason why so few engage in prepping is... Read more →

How many times have you looked at an apparently-healthy person panhandling and wondered why he or she was not at work somewhere? A bunch of times, I would safely wager. What’s more, I’ll bet even a few among us, who pass those unfortunate-looking souls holding “Will Work for Food” signs, have thought, “I wonder what would happen if I actually told this person I have work for him (or her)?” Well, one gentleman (basically) did that very thing. A man presently identified only as “Mike” appears in a now-viral photo wherein he is clearly “shaming” a couple of panhandlers who... Read more →

I am crossing paths more frequently with those who have decided to adopt a bit of an “anti-Internet” posture in their own lives. I know several people, for example, who have begun to turn their backs on social media. For them, the novelty of platforms like Facebook has worn off, and they no longer feel the need to share so much of their private lives with everyone on a real-time basis. Most of these folks still use the Internet, of course, but the point is that when it comes to online safety, we are usually our own worst enemies. I... Read more →
