I Never Forget 9/11. No, Not Just THAT One.
You’d be hard pressed not to find someone not in a reflective mood today. 9/11 has brought out those kinds of emotions now for 22 years, which means that this year’s college graduating class has never known a world where this day doesn’t have the same kind of relevance and connection that, say, Pearl Harbor
What Can Brown Do For You? If You Love Game Shows, Plenty
More than three decades ago, I at least got the chance to turn my childhood obsession into a business strategy.

Who You Callin’ A Niggler?!?!?!
Right up front, let me assure you all: the last word of today’s title is spelled WITH AN L. Just like my last name is spelled with two. Believe me, it’s been mispronounced more than once, and while I embrace the nickname, I still bristle when someone leaves the second “L” out of my last

But the results paled to the frustration and Tourette’s-like rants that would spew from him when he
C’mon, Jokers!!
How slow a news day was it on the holiday yesterday? This was the leading story across an overwhelming number of sites I regularly visit, including DEADLINE, where Ted Johnson chose to share with the entertainment industry this: First Lady Jill Biden had tested positive for Covid and is experiencing mild symptoms, her communications director said.
Prime Time Players All. And No, Not Just The Sanders.
One of the true feel-good stories of these times, fraught with the doom and gloom of political divide, feckless shilling for nominations, endless strikes against tyrannical megalomaniacs, climate change and ever-increasing numbers of those truly spooked by screaming headlines of conflated numbers shrieking that “COVID is not over” (congratulations, Rong-Gong And The Hyphenates, I saw
