(Did I mention I write about popular culture?) Actually, sending a selfie to Google is a really bad idea and you shouldn’t do it. Scientific Fact! It’s not about race, or gender, or religion, or… It never is. It’s about Conspiracy Theories! Remember The Stars Hollow Gazette and DocuDharma, your source for only the most …

True Lies
(Yes, I also write about popular culture.) So James Cameron is the man who gave us Sarah Connor and Ellen Ripley, two characters I never hesitate to recommend to anyone, regardless of gender, as epitomes of heroic badassery. For Connor there are just two words, scratched in a picnic table in the desert- “No Fate.” …

House Or Hole? Does It Matter?
You know, I actually saw the Commodores in concert long after they were even a D-List ticket (New Year’s is not the same without Kathy Griffin and Andersen, your boyfriend is a dope).

LIBOR stands for the London Inter Bank Offered Rate, supposedly the average interest rate given by Mega Banks to their most credit worthy customers, other Mega Banks, for short term loans. Not really that important in and of itself since such loans are rare, but it was the basis for the interest rate of Hundreds …

He Can’t See You Right Now. He’s With The Orchids.
I have been accused of being as rigid about schedules as Nero Wolfe as well as weighing as much which is absurd. He is a seventh of a ton and I a mere tenth (What?! You’ve never heard of Nero Wolfe? Get thee to a library or book store). Nero nevertheless has a routine that …

Trumpies Postponed!
Say it ain’t so Joe (that would be ‘Shoeless’ Joe Jackson, not ‘Joltin’ Joe’ Dimaggio). From Politico– Donald Trump said on Sunday that the “fake news awards” he teased recently will be postponed, saying interest had exceeded his expectations. “The Fake News Awards, those going to the most corrupt & biased of the Mainstream Media, …

The Stupid, It Burns!
In 1854 a Medical Scientist, Dr. John Snow, was able to isolate an outbreak of Cholera in London to a single public water supply on Broad Street. Now Cholera is nasty and it comes out both ends. It’s not necessarily fatal (though it can be) if you treat the symptoms and replace the water and …
