A video of one of Madison Cawthorn’s cocaine-fueled orgies just got leaked online. You’ll never believe who’s on camera.

So for the past few days, there have been statements by Republican House representative Madison Cawthorn (Q-NC) that refer to him being invited to various political events in which drugs and sex were involved. That was before last night … when a videotape of one of the orgies popped up on an online adult video…

Albany Patroons vs. London Lightning tonight … can’t I root for both teams??

I knew this day would arrive. It had to. Full disclosure. I’ve worked with the National Basketball League of Canada for the past ten years, working in statistics and player clearances. More full disclosure. I’ve worked with the Albany Patroons for many years, doing everything from game photos to PA announcing to broadcasting to post-game…

The Renee Richards / Juwanna Mann logical fallacy

I’m so sick of transphobes. Transphobes (or, to be more polite, TERFs), hate trans men and trans women, and use their hatred as part of this logical fallacy that girls can’t compete in school sports because boys take hormones to be girls and win all the girls’ sports.

The McGowan Firehouse Project

I recently created an art image by superimposing a vintage postcard of St. Joseph’s Church in Green Island into a current photo at that same location. I liked it. Liked it a lot. I thought it was good enough to enter into competition. As I said … it’s good enough. But the more I look…

K-Chuck Radio: The musical tree of “Ida Red”

There is an old adage that nothing is truly created; it is inspired by what came before. Such is the case with the song “Ida Red.” “Ida Red” is a song that can trace its roots back to an old folk song from the 1870’s called “Saturday Night,” by composer Frederick W. Root. But the…
