In these four high-profile cases, adults covered up sexual crimes. The Catholic Church moved priests. The Boy Scouts kept their Perversion Papers secret. Penn State preferred profits over boys. As the gymnastics’ story has already unfolded at Molestation State University against female gymnasts, there will be an expansion to female co-eds, making the travesty more …

Without really intending to, we seem to have low-key ‘done’ Sundance this last week, mainly via the ewaitlist, which is cool fun. Of the headline grabbing films, we saw The Tale, (with Laura Dern, Jason Ritter and an eleven year old Isabelle Nélisse) which has amazing parallel times and lines storytelling. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4015500/ I can’t tell …
Lady Bird, the coming-of-age movie set in Sacramento, CA, has a stubborn disinclination to satisfy normal expectations. Whenever you expect the story to follow a certain path, it goes somewhere else, and whenever you think you know its characters, they always find a way to surprise you. This lack of cliche, along with the movie’s …
The Democrats are rolling out their latest weapon after the State of the Union address. Here comes Joe Kennedy Jr. part 3. He is actually the grandson of Bobby. Here are some stats. He might be worth 55 million thanks to inheritance bankrolled by his name sake, he is technically an (unoppressed) minority because he …
Fans of the movie AIRPLANE, I had NO idea that it was taken from this obscure film ZERO HOUR. This is interesting if you are a fan. It IS the same movie, just not (intentionally) funny. Even has the “Looks like I picked the wrong week” line in it. It’s shot for shot in some …
If you’ve never seen it, you should. It’s on YouTube in a pristine print. “How Green Was My Valley” the 1941 Academy Award winner (Best Picture, Best Director JOHN FORD, Best Supporting actor DONALD CRISP, best cinematography ARTHUR MILLER, best art direction NATHAN H. JURAN, etc.). It’s an amazing oldie. They showed it to us …
Well my Jamaica tour got more exciting. It’s going to be a story. I am rolling with some good dudes when I sing in Trenchtown, and the crew I am shooting the ‘Free Your Mind’ video with are the legends. But why does it have to pop off right now? Jamaica is always going to …
If Amazon was really on our side why would they be investing the 100 billion dollar might into taking away jobs from hard working American mothers that actually have some dignity and a still almost decent pay check as cashiers. We see the End Game. Putting women out of work, whether single, married, separated, or …
After the Portland Trailblazers’ win over the Indiana Pacers last Thursday night, comedian Cedric the Entertainer got up from his courtside seat afterward and took Coach Terry Stotts’ place at the podium for the postgame press conference: Thanks to the graciousness of the Trailblazers, I’ve been in that briefing room a couple of times. Usually, …
As always, I sleep in on a Saturday morning ’til about 11:30, take a quick shower, then walk up Roy St. from my apartment on Summit Ave. for a leisurely lunch with Tim Cook at Siam on Broadway. Once the customary ten-star Thai cuisine has been consumed, we briefly duck into Orpheum Records to hassle …
Swedish death purge dilemma ~ More karate fighter bases than karate fighter guys. Hate to throw the excess bases away, but what to do with them? The fighter guys were broken in battle while the base endured. (It is an arm work out.) Posted by Jill Kuhel on Tuesday, January 16, 2018 – Jill Kuhel
Did you know Belushi was an All State linebacker in Illinois? That partly explains why he was a ‘fat man’ doing back flips on stage at 30 like he was on the Chitlin Circuit. Legend has it that live he was one of the most electrifying frontmen of all time. Like Prince himself later accomplished …
One of the great tests of Bit Coin and America itself is whether all of the people that voted for Bernie Sanders will voluntarily pay their fair share of taxes on the wealth they draw from cryptocurrencies. Just because you can launder the money doesn’t mean you should. Bernie is watching you. It’s easy to …
New James Bond plot: The founder of Bit Coin Satoshi Nakamoto, was an American that passed away leaving his massive stake in the crypto-coinage dormant and unreachable. But a hard drive is found in a garbage dump in Nigeria where an enterprising teenager realizes what he has on his hands. He accesses Satoshi’s stake and …
BITCOIN CRASH: I was just telling someone yesterday, that if I had anything that gained 5 times it’s value I would sell half of it, and see what happens with the rest. Start with 5, you have 25, sell half you 7.5 more than had when you started and 12.5 in your pocket. But then …
Tonight as I hibernate like a honey bear, and tidy up The Staxx Brothers Global Headquarters, I am living up to this vow. I vow to listen to every one of the 10 $1 Christmas records I got for Megan’s mom Laurie Leer last year. I chose these ten wisely, but I also had a …
Is Steve Pool if KOMO the greatest Weatherman of all time? His career numbers are staggering. And who can forget when he hooked up with Bruno Mars on his show Front Runners back in 1992? Dude has been doing Weather so long in Seattle he was predicting weather on D Day. This is a selfie …
Well WTF? Who has heard about the lost invention, Starlite? It’s one of those stories that seems like the plot for a science fiction film and a comedy, but it’s actually kind of a tragedy. You feel like this a hoax…but tell me this isn’t too strange to be fiction: An eccentric (yet marvelously talented) …
If Extra Terrestrials took a knee during the National Anthem, maybe more Americans would care that the Department of Defense confirmed the existence of UFOs via The New York Times. Redneck #1: “You little f_ckers need to respect the f_cking flag. Our troops fought and died so you lazy sons of b_tches had something fun …
Articles like this one, are why paying $20 a month for The New York Times is a nice investment. Maybe the news we get for free is typically hot garbage for primarily that reason. Glowing Auras and ‘Black Money’: The Pentagon’s Mysterious U.F.O. Program – https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/16/us/politics/pentagon-program-ufo-harry-reid.html Why pay for news? Because this story about the …
The most unbelievable part of quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo’s fledgling career in San Francisco is that it happened at all. In any other league, a player of such other-worldly talent would never have been traded for anything less than a king’s ransom, and yet the New England Patriots let the 49ers have him for a 2018 …
Golly, the late Adam West had some superb comedy cameos in the later years of his life– the mayor on Family Guy, appearances on The Simpsons and King of Queens come to mind– and this song for an upcoming Dr. Demento recording is another humdinger of comic brevity for TV’s classic Batman. Give it a …
Do you have what it takes to be a spy? Do you have the physical ability to be completely forgettable? We are talking Spies, not the classic Military traitor like Benedict Arnold or Michael Flynn. This is 007 stuff. Can you walk into a room full of 15,000 people like Steve Miller and entertain them …
Watch the Throne. They should name their first son Winston and their 4th son Churchill. Americand Mommas make British heroes. This is like Barack Obama marrying the Queen and I love it. Never forget Jenny Jérôme. America f_ck yea. Let’s make some kings. – Davin Michael Stedman
On the eve of when we celebrate a national holiday, I would like to pass along a poem by William Burroughs called “Thanksgiving Prayer” that Ministry included during the first part of “Thankx but no Thanx” on 2013’s From Beer to Eternity. Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone!
For those who love seeing their literary heroes in the flesh and obtaining their signatures on the title pages of newly purchased books, Wordstock is a paradise rivaling any other such event in these United States. This year’s festival took place the Saturday before last over a three-block area of downtown Portland, and while it …
Like the next generation of replicants, “Blade Runner 2049” has some new gadgets, but it doesn’t measure up to the previous model. It’s dialed up the dystopia and alienation to epic levels, but the heart that pounded in the original “Blade Runner” is hard to find. Brace yourself for the third movie in the trilogy. …
Wouldn’t it be a fairy tale, if Mr. Jeff sessions could get to live for FREE in some of the beautiful public housing he spent his career building? Retirement is so expensive, he deserves to take a load off and relax amongst his peers playing all kinds of games and activities. He will meet so …
For those of you who didn’t follow the Portland Trail Blazers last season, their biggest story was their February trade for Jusuf Nurkic, the Bosnian Beast and the West Coast’s answer to New York Knick sensation Kristaps Porzingis. With his shooting and rebounding, Nurkic turned around the Blazers’ season, helping them to an 18-8 record …
