So it looks like the NFL referee labor lockout has come to a close. For the first three excruciating weeks of the season, they’ve been using replacement officials not fit to call a foosball tournament. They’ve mishandled more calls than AT&T cellular. In their disdain for the replacement crews, however, fans have begun to irrationally […]

Don’t Drop the Soap
There is a lot of hidden tragedy. So to get too dogmatic about one seems a high horse amongst Clydesdales. One in a crowd. But prison rape to me has long been infuriating. (Not where you thought I was headed?) It’s just totally unacceptable, with any regularity, in a civilized criminal justice system. It’s like […]

The Dog Ate My Homework
No song. Spent 5 hours in the ER with my son, who broke his arm last night. He snapped the radius and ulna clean. For the second time. He can’t seem to break it without making some elaborate consonant out of his forearm. Last night was something like a “v.” We’ve done the “w” too. […]
Righteous Indignation
We all do it. It’s not just muslims. But, it’s the weakest sort of faith practice to take offense at offenses against your faith. First, don’t be so sure of yourself. Second, if what you believe is true, then things like critique of, or jokes about or irreverence for, it, won’t make any substantive difference. […]

Look, I only had a handful of reasonable song blogging choices for tonight, right? Deadly power outages in Cuba; the terrible motorcade accident that killed one of President Obama’s police escorts; or writing a diss track to the members of my fantasy football league. Eat my % Owned Voldemort’s Confetti ! I kept it classy […]
Pitch Perfect
Bill Clinton was a pretty special capstone to a drudgery of speeches at the DNC this evening. During his presidency, people we knew would say that Clinton reminded them of my dad. That they talked, even looked similar. You might as well have said my dad was a mangy street mongrel than to have compared […]
Great Expectations
I’m eating a sweet potato with brown sugar and cinnamon while trying to live blog the DNC. I don’t know which is stickier sweet. I started my legal practice in Charlotte, NC, where the convention is being held. Cool city. Well designed. Glamourless, though. Except for the Bobcats, of course. Those guys are all hollywood. […]
