San Francisco has become a haunted cityfor me. I think I’ve been scarred forever by it. Not really the city’s fault though.
No matter how many times I come here, no matter how much time passes - there’s simply too much that reminds me of Kyra. And something deep inside me screams in anguish that whenever […]
Our media is tainted. Really - and we don’t even know it. Well, maybe we do, but the media sources will never admit it. They’ll even go so far as to fire someone for expressing support for a candidate. But it doesn’t make sense - the media is made up of people, like you and […]
Are you reading this on a piece of paper that was delivered to your door? Have you forgone delivery to your door for digital delivery of your favorite newspaper?

Summer Glau, Isla Fisher and Leslie Mann as 40’s style pin-up girls? Among many others? Be still my beating heart….seriously…before I have a heart attack….
Americans have long been conditioned - resigned, even - to vote for the lesser of two evils. It’s pretty much inevitable given our current electoral system. And people are more likely to vote against the greater evil instead of for the lesser evil. Because of this, political analysts often will not only look at favorability […]
Recently, one of the creators of Dungeons&Dragons died. Along with Dave Arneson, Gary Gygax created a game that has come to influence millions upon millions of people in one way or another, and very often, in very positive ways. I am one of those people who, thanks to Gary Gygax, has met life-long friends and […]
