I don’t follow professional tennis as much as I used to. But I do have a reasonable idea of the top stars in the sport. Serena Williams, Naomi Osaka, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, you know, enough to at least have some semblance of who are the big names in the competition. And I know of…

The First Amendment doesn’t apply to private entities.
Yesterday morning, as I was checking my Twitter feed, I received some very interesting news. And I’d like to share it with all of you. That’s right. Marjorie Taylor Greene (Q-GA) spouted off one too many times about misleading and incorrect COVID-19 information, to the point where she apparently earned her fifth strike from Twitter.…
Read MoreWait until he finds out those crypto coins are worthless.
I get it. Brandon Brown is a struggling race car driver in NASCAR’s Xfinity series, one level below the top Cup level of motorsports. He’s been driving for a few years, mostly in underfunded rides. But by sheer skill and luck and glory, the racing gods blessed him with his first win, a checkered flag…
Read MoreChuck’s best blog moments of 2021
It’s time once again to look back at the preceding twelve months. 2021 has been a rather interesting year, and as one college professor once told me, “‘Interesting’ is the weakest word in the English language.” Well, I’ll take what I can get on this. So there. And with that in mind, here are ten…
Read MoreI did a kindness at DePaula Chevrolet.
Update on the condition of Dracourage. Recently, my beloved 2013 Chevrolet Cruze emitted a foul, oil-burning stench. I initially thought it was residual oil that had spilled when DePaula changed the car’s oil a few weeks ago. But the stench festered, and it became so foul that it actually ruined a romantic date. I nursed…
Read MoreBarry Manilow ruined Christmas for me again.
I get it. There are people in the world who appreciate the music of Barry Manilow. I am not one of them. Personally, I think the guy’s so square, he’s divisible by four. He has all the emotional color of beige paint. And this is coming from a guy who was once married to a…
Read MoreThe Canadian Pacific Holiday Train 2021 “At Home” concert, watch it here.
There’s still part of me that wishes I could have seen the train as it made its journey through New York. But this will have to be the next best thing. Last Saturday, Canadian Pacific gave us its 2021 Holiday Train “At Home” concert, where the performers gave us a 90-minute show, entertaining us in…
Read MoreLauren Boebert is a Thanksgiving turkey
Lauren Boebert is a member of Congress, she’s part of the “Troll Caucus” of herself, Matt Gaetz, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Madison Cawthorn, Jim Jordan, Paul Gosar and Kevin McCarthy. They’re the ones whose main goal in life is to glorify Trump, demean Biden, and spew racist, homophobic and bigoted crapola whenever someone gives them a…
Read MoreThe Emergency Driver for Equinox 2021
Long-time readers of my blog know that around this time of year, I volunteer as a driver for the local Equinox charity. In other words, I deliver tasty Thanksgiving dinners to those in need, whether they be in the inner cities or in the hill towns. This is what I do. It’s who I am.…
Read MoreBreak out the ambient rock tracks and the heart-pulling Christmas commercials.
I guess there’s such a thing as “new holiday tradition,” as our Christmases are now filled with 117 new Hallmark movies (60 of them starring Candace Cameron Bure and 57 of them starring Lacey Chabert), the incessant every-hour-on-the-hour of Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You,” and the manipulation of children by their…
