From the local paper – Dated July 18, 2020. Stick with me here. I’m looking at word choice, not content. INDIANAPOLIS Two men were charged Friday in an assault on a Black man during which someone threatened to ‘get a noose’ after claiming… . In a typical newspaper style, the sentence is like two paragraphs… Read more

A Letter on Justice and Open Debate This article is kind of funny. From what I can make out from it — as writers like to use a lot of big words, especially when they’re together, these people are feeling that the liberal arts are being threatened. This would include writers, journalists, and artists of… Read more

RIP Mia – Land O Lakes icon. I knew it was going to happen. Actually, it took a lot longer than I thought.

Disclaimer: I haven’t watched Ford V Ferrari or Charlies Angles (2019) at this juncture. However, I’m going to give this analysis thing a stab. Since I really know what’s on the surface, I’ll be able to just sally forth without, hopefully, getting too much off track. Besides, second and third-hand knowledge seems to be perfect… Read more

It’s been a while since I’ve written anything about movies and television, so here it goes. The Walking Dead is probably one of my all-time favorite soap-not-soap operas. Since it’s been around for nine seasons, I’m going to avoid the backstory as much as possible. And, yes, I know it came out over a year… Read more
