The ghouls at Fox News have ruined it, but I’m going to go ahead and use the phrase fair and balanced to describe this Jon Stewart Daily Show segment on cancel culture. He is, as is often the case, absolutely right. Most of the people who yell the loudest about a lack of free speech …

I Want To Get Convicted Again
Point: Someone with 11 felonies on his record should know how to commit a proper robbery by now. Counterpoint: You don’t end up with 11 felonies on your record by being good at crime. You would not, for instance, threaten a clerk who just caught you trying to shoplift, go outside, put on a hood …
Down With The Spices
So. Is this good because it’s good or does its goodness, as I’m suspecting, come from it actually being kind of bad? Bad isn’t an insult, by the way. If it’s bad, it’s bad in the best possible way. I got a very nice laugh out of it and do not regret my use of …
Dog, God, Everybody Got A Little That Day
Lots going on here. Or maybe it’s just your average Florida Sunday. According to Mason’s arrest affidavit, he knew the owner of the dog and was taking the goldendoodle out for a walk in the apartment complex. Then, he started having sex with the dog in front of witnesses, including adults and a juvenile who …

This Joke Kills Every Time
Remember the time when that gun shop owner shot his buddy’s face off for giggles? This is that, but with cops. I guess all that highly trained to make good, split second decisions stuff doesn’t apply when you’re off duty. A 23-year-old Florida sheriff’s deputy was fatally shot by his fellow deputy roommate over the …
You’d Better Not Make Him Number Forty-Seven
And now, it’s time for Carin and Steve have mind beams part…um…I suppose “FORTY-FIVE!” I was just out in the kitchen washing dishes and listening to a podcast completely unrelated to music or politics or anything that would make me think about Donald Trump or Randy Rainbow when I suddenly thought to myself, I wonder …

Hotel Little Wing
Another YouTube suggestion. Laszlo Buring, who brought us Dire Straits doing Riders on the Storm, plays “Hotel California” if it had been covered by Stevie Ray Vaughan. So there’s a couple of influences here, the most obvious one being SRV’s version of Little Wing. Then there’s some parts that a reminiscent of Riviera Paradise, and …
The Best Blind Joke I’ve Ever Heard
There’s a guy who, when we see each other, will sometimes try to hit me with a blind joke I haven’t heard yet. As any blind person who has ever had a conversation will tell you, however, this isn’t the easiest thing to do. After a certain point we’ve just heard everything, some of it …
Stop And Bust A Move
I was rather amused by this when YouTube threw it at me over the weekend. Since it still sounds pretty good after 0 beers on a normal day, here you go. If there’s a mashup artist out there as consistently good as Bill McClintock, I don’t know who it is. Music used in this mashup: …
April’s Bloopers And The Leafs
Speaking of bloopers, how about them Leafs? Yeah, low blow. One that I’m not sure how much they deserve considering that Auston Mathews had one of the best years a Leaf has ever had and they made the playoffs yet again. But then they did what they always seem to do, forget that they’re any …
