Here’s your chance to help Nashville “Get ‘er Done”
On May 12, 2010 at 5:09 am
Nashville knows how to roll up its sleeves and take care of business. Usually this means picking up a guitar and strumming a chord. With the recent flood damage however, a large number of prominent country musicians have guitars that are warped and unplayable. But music is what they do, and they are putting together [...]

Tim Tebow, Just What the Doctor Ordered
On May 7, 2010 at 7:03 am
Tim Tebow according to many media outlets has the number one selling jersey in the NFL. Granted its only been one month of selling the jersey but nonetheless he reins supreme. The question is why? Why has Denver’s #15 Jersey sold more than Sam Bradford, Ndamukong Su, or Dez Bryant? Most experts insist that Tebow will [...]
The Nashville Flood, Self-Reliance and the Mainstream Media
On at 6:55 amJudging by the inexcusable lack of coverage of one of the most devastating non-hurricane weather events in American history, the mainstream media apparently rates self-reliance
Ultimate Fighter 11 Episode 6: Did Your Dizzle
On at 6:33 am
ICE is tearing through Las Vegas like a blizzard, to punish the Huntington Beach Bad Boy and send him where he belongs. But he’s not going to be thrown out in a citizen deportation every bit as fictitious as those under SB1070. No, far worse is in store for the coach of Team Punishment. His [...]
Movie Renters Sentenced to 28 Days (or Blockbuster)
On May 6, 2010 at 7:04 am
Breaking news: the major movie studios hate you and everything you stand for, you greedy, deal-loving, non-DVD buying consumer. Maybe you haven’t noticed it yet, but some of the movies you see for sale at Wal-Mart still aren’t available on your queue at Netflix. You won’t find them in a Redbox, either. That’s because you’ve been [...]
Slaves in America
On May 5, 2010 at 7:43 am
I was telling a co-worker about this article I was writing on sex trafficking, sharing some of the disturbing statistics and stories, to which her reply was, “Yeah, but I don’t think that happens here in North Carolina.” She, like probably the majority of Americans, doubt that it even happens in this country, when they [...]
DOWN AND OUT SIDEBAR with Jim Salicrup
On May 4, 2010 at 7:48 am
Very few people in comic books today have the pedigree that Jim Salicrup, the current editor in chief of Papercutz Comics, does. He worked his way up from a messenger at Marvel Comics to the editor of “Spider-Man”, “The Avengers,” “X-men” and he even popped up in a panel or two of “Captain America.” Before [...]
The Men’s Room: Yup, Looks Matter
On at 7:03 am
Most women believe men consider one thing, and one thing only, when choosing a mate: looks. Most women believe men are superficial slobbering primal creatures that are blind to everything except boobs, butts, and more boobs. You know what? Most women are right. There’s nothing more I love than a fine female specimen. I can’t [...]
The Ladies Room: Looks Like Trouble
On at 6:38 am
While my Men’s Room counterpart is searching for a strong genetic sample, I find myself looking for a mate with obvious character in other people. It isn’t entirely fair since people usually have a lot more going on in their minds than they may appear. Yet I find I try to look for a certain [...]
Down and OUT with Archie Comics
On at 5:41 am
Since Archie Comics first popped up in the early 1940s, the fictional town of Riverdale has reflected a more wholesome and idealized, yet “wacky,” take on Norman Rockwell American life. However, in late April, Archie Comics took a step closer to reality. “Archie Comics, home of the famous Riverdale High students Archie, Betty, Veronica, Reggie [...]
A Puzzling Direction in Mexico
On May 3, 2010 at 7:22 am
Mexican females have never allowed government or church to impose laws on their bodies. Not sure why the doctors are now allowing it. In Mexico, abortion was just legalized in 2007, yet it has been available, and presumably safe, for years. I think it is safe to say that senoritas are aware of this option. [...]

The Ladies Room: Trapped in the UK, Send Money!
On April 30, 2010 at 1:34 pm
Some of you may know I was one of the many travelers held captive by an ash cloud. My trip to London was initially slated for approximately four and a half days. Suddenly, an Icelandic volcano with a complicated name ended up doubling the length of my voyage. Luckily, (and all potential world travelers reading this should [...]
Ultimate Fighter 11 Episode 5: If It Breathes, It Bleeds
On April 29, 2010 at 7:03 am
The 3-1 Team Punished may just stand to cede its coach’s Ultimate Finale meet-up-beat-up owing to the very real possibility of Tito’s being cut from the UFC, but are we witness to the beginnings of a comeback? Will the furies of insult, injury and humiliation switch targets, to head down Team Liddell’s throat like three [...]
The Endive: Obama Pushes for Pope Reform
On April 27, 2010 at 6:35 amMore irreverent humor from The Endive… President Obama announced today that he will begin pushing congress to draft extensive Pope reform legislation. “The old Pope is broken,” said Obama, “That’s why we need to rely on congress to come up with some better ideas and oversight in the Pope sphere. I urge everyone to act [...]
