A Woman Scorned…
This post is about abortion. Viewer discretion is advised… When is abortion NOT controversial, so I felt it was necessary to open with the equivalent of a movie black screen MPAA warning… you’ve been warned… The right to have an abortion was decided via Roe v Wade on January 22, 1973 by a 7-2 vote […]

Arby’s Had the Meats…
Why can’t chicken restaurants just sell chicken? To that end, Arby’s is now making burgers. But not just any burger… a wagyu burger. Before I get into what wagyu is, I want to talk about Arby’s… and Burger King… and Dominos Pizza. Everyone is trying to diversify. But is it working? So wagyu beef is […]

JCPenney is not Dead…
When I was a kid, department stores were the deal. They were then, the equivalent of the big box stores now – Target, Walmart, Bed, Bath & Beyond. Wildly popular. I’m not sure when that changed, but, now, I don’t...

Student Athlete Employee?
The suggestion has been made that college athletes should begin getting paid as employees. Not sure how it got started but, it is afoot. As close as I can uncover is that Northwestern football players petitioned the National La...
