The Costs of a Dying Pet

When I was in high school, I found my childhood dog, Cody, lying at the bottom of the basement stairs unable to move. He wasn’t injured, but for some reason he could not get up the stairs. I knew something was wrong and called a friend to drive me and Cody to the vet. The…

8 Million Reasons Why BuzzFeed Isn’t News

There are very few careers available where simply getting a formal education specific to the industry will land you a job.

Integrity in Journalism

Watergate. Iran-Contra. Monica Lewinsky’s cum-stained dress. The above are good examples of what journalism and news used to be. No listicles. No aggregation. Just trained and educated journalists reporting the facts (and only the facts) so that the individual reader can form their own opinion. I may be sourcing news from others, but I intend…

Poor Door: Segregation Is Back!

One fascinating aspect about human nature is our yearning to hate.

Bowl of Dicks

If you listen to Soundtrack of the Week, then you know how much I hate people. It even says so on my Twitter bio. Compiling a list of people who can “eat a bowl of dicks” would be time consuming. In fact, it will be easier to list off the people who can eat a…

Read What They Mean

 When saying what you mean is superseded by what people think you mean. “We have been the cowards, lobbing cruise missiles from 2,000 miles away. That’s cowardly. Staying in the airplane when it hits the building, say what you want about it, it’s not cowardly.” These are the words that many thought would have ended Bill Maher’s…

The Leftovers

Why Pink Floyd’s “new” album doesn’t matter. In 1994, Pink Floyd released their last album, The Division Bell. It was their only album to reach #1 on every major market on the globe. In terms of rock music, this would seem like a success, that a band dominated the charts nearly thirty years after their…

The Boy Who Cried “Racist”

I hope everyone had a great Independence Day full of beer, food, fireworks and racism. If you didn’t, may I suggest attending the Fourth of July parade in Norfolk, Neb., next year?
