With a scant few exceptions, at the top of such a small list being my bestie (BTW: it’s her birthday today; if you know her, send her at least your regards; if you don’t you should), people in power have more often than not let me down. Think I’m exaggerating? Last week yet again I … Read more
I probably should be a bigger fan of Steve Carell’s that I’ve been up till now. I’ve already been crystal clear that I wasn’t a huge fan of THE OFFICE and I can’t say I fall into the demo that anointed Judd Apatow as the definer of Gen X comedy with THE 40 YEAR OLD … Read more
NOTE: This also appears today on our sister site Double Overtime. Please visit it regularly for coverage of sports of all sorts plus occasional essays on business and technology. I follow plenty of people on various social media platforms, some out of habit because they once or twice posted something I thought was intriguing, I … Read more
As I so often do in these musings, I confess that I have more than a few guilty pleasures when it comes to everything from media to cuisine. In the immortal words of the esteemed Oklahoma State football coach Mike Gundy, “I’m a man, I’m 40”. Well, way more than that these days. And I’ll … Read more
I suppose I owe Kristi Noem a little bit of gratitude, if nothing else for her timing. Before she yet again became a trending topic yesterday afternoon all I could think about was the fact that today marks six years exactly to the day that I was sent home from Sony for the final time … Read more
I’m having yet another frustrating and exhausting week so far, and it doesn’t look like it’s gonna improve any time soon.

Time once again for moi to fit in a little crow with my increasingly selective diet. In hindsight, we’ve probably been a little harsh on the Artists Formerly Known As NBC Cable, a.k.a. Versant. In the first days of their technical self-existence we were admittedly more than a tad bearish on how they were faring. … Read more
If you’re hell bent on having me bite your head off on social media, feel free to post yet another mindless rant about our current adminstration and some action or inaction that you think merits your one and one-half cents. You may think it’s therapeutic and gain some solace from the bevy of “I agrees” … Read more
There couldn’t be two less likely candidates to have overlapping audiences than the respective series launches that occurred in prime time last night. On the ancient-skewing CBS, with the compromised 60 MINUTES as a lead-in, was the latest entry into the YELLOWSTONE-verse–and the first that actually was premiering on what used to be called a … Read more
Another weekend, another–ahem–war. We can barely go six months without one these days, can we? Forgive me if I’m not quite as excited or non-plussed as perhaps you are about what went down early Saturday morning in beautiful downtown Tehran. I assume unless you’ve been living under a rock or perhaps hiking in South America … Read more
