New album tarnishes Michael Jackson’s legacy

I’ll be honest, I’m in love with the first single, Love Never Felt So Good, off the just-released posthumous album from Michael Jackson. I miss Michael, and I’ve always been a huge fan of his music.

Let me guess, you’re going to be Irish for a day

It’s always amusing to me that on March 17th so many people decide to become Irish for a day. According to a new survey, 97 percent of Americans plan to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in one form or another. Forty-one percent of them will be spending the night out with friends at a bar or […]

When he got bitten over the weekend, he refused care, sending paramedics away. An hour later he was dead. I’m talking about Jamie Coots, the pastor […]

Budweiser scores a touchdown with ‘A Hero’s Welcome’

For me, the Super Bowl is all about the halftime show and commercials. And let’s be honest, this year’s game was a blowout anyway. Although I wasn’t a fan of seeing so many of the commercials ahead of time, there were quite a few worth watching again. What I’ve realized is that I’m a sucker […]
