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 […]

White Hot: The Rise and Fall of Abercrombie & Fitch

This is a documentary more than a film and I’d like to treat it as such with a full feature account of its contents as opposed to a review of the quality of the production. There are no actors with whom a performance needs to be dissected and no story to be told with color. […]

CarMax

CarMax is a scam. I’ve put their process to the test and it’s for sure taking advantage of consumers. Here’s how they operate… When you take your car to sell at CarMax, they tell you they buy cars at auction prices ...

Addicted to Deli

I grew up in an extremely Jewish community. So Jewish that we did not go to school on Rosh Hashanah or Yom Kippur. So with that goes a lot of delis. Old fashioned, authentic Jewish delis. MMmmmm. I love deli, especially corned ...

A Special Politics Edition: It’s Time to Vote!

This is likely my last post before the actual general election, so, I want to make this count. I recently heard someone say this is the most partisan election they’ve witnessed in their entire life. I would agree with that. H...

Election 2012 Debate #1

I can’t hear another word of analysis about this debate. I’m going to short-step the big picture: Mitt Romney’s performance was better than President Obama’s, which, in basic terms means Mitt Romney won the debate. I ha...
