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

Hikers, Not Criminals
I don’t know where to start with this. There’s just so much wrong in this scenario. I’ll start with the basic situation. Josh Fattal, Shane Bauer and Sarah Shourd went hiking somewhere between Iraq and Iran. Maybe I shoul...
Football Could Be A Deal-Breaker
So BA: My husband is obsessed with Football. What can I do to get him away from the TV and those endless Football games? JLA So JLA: Nothing. Leave him alone. Take your credit card and go to the mall with one...
Modern Music
I’ve always been really into music, but, lately, I’ve just been listening to my old stuff. I’m just not clicking with the artist of today; They all sound the same to me… They’re all trying to mimic someone else an...
