This is my place to vent, to pontificate, to educate, to defame, to expound, and yes, to wax rhapsodic. It's my personal brand of logic applied to the world, and it works for me.
After reading this article this morning, talking about (what else?) Michael Jackson and it got me thinking. Obviously, if you have turned on either a television or a radio for any length of time, you’ve been assaulted with talk about the man. Outpourings of support, vicious condemnations, people who will completely focus on one side [...]
And not just the ones in my nightmares. So, this morning, I’m thinking about sitting through the mixed bag they call the Oscars last night, and wondering if I’m the only one that’s tired of them. I mean, to give credit where credit is due, it’s a show that’s no worse than any other award [...]
