GOP debate ratings appear to set new CNN record

GOP debate ratings appear to set new CNN record

I’m hopeful that someday soon major news sites will figure out that the deluge of politics in their locations is the most annoying thing ever.. Chile quake anyone? Or will we talk about whether Carly or The Donald are ugly and which one more so?

This is going to be a long long season of the Apprentice.

This is a good article about the reason THE VISIT did NOT suck

M Night gets an unfair shake so many times over.. Even with the VISIT. I saw it and loved it.. But I loved some of the other films people called stinkers. But I do think THE VISIT was just fine, just completely fine.

TSUNAMI IMPACT FELT

Debate sweat

I wonder who has to empty the buckets of sweat that dripped off Ted Cruz’s face and Scott Walker’s lips tonight? It got hot. I almost thought Marco Rubio’s comb over would begin to droop down.

But calm, cool, and collective Donald with hair that never moved..

Happy about the way the “R” on Air Force One frames Jeb Bush’s head perfectly.

A bit of a Darth Vader look for Jeb tonight..

DARK LIGHT. SMALL CITY.

This is the best of times.. the worst of times. Allow me to briefly explain. I love autumn. I have always.. but this year, for some strange reason, I am dreading it. The weather has already cooled off a bit and it’s been rainy.. My throat has that touch of soreness this morning. I also heard my son coughing a bit..

The class of 18 learns about 9/11

I have those images forever in my mind..    This morning while hearing news accounts of today’s ceremonies planned in the locations hit by terrorism on September 11, 2001, I realized this: The kids born that year, those who first were welcomed…

The school that wasn't

The school that wasn’t 

While I had no original plans to write anything about this very personal issue, a few events took place that changed my mind.   I went to a little high school in the coal region of Pennsylvania named Cardinal Brennan Jr/Sr High School. It was a strange place. Catholic education echoed through the hallways, along with the shenanigans and teenage laughter of generations forced to wear school…

THE NIGHTMARE THAT WASN'T

THE NIGHTMARE THAT WASN’T

When I was a young pre-teen in the 1980s, NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET part 3, the DREAM WARRIORS, sort of changed my conception of horror.. it became campy, silly and fun.. Yes, Freddy was a menacing creature, whose background was that of a child molester and killer, but somehow Robert Englund turned Wes Craven’s character into a charming and almost likeable trickster in the in the third NIGHTMARE…
