‘Weight’ A Sec, Barkley A Role Model?
By
mattaug
Talk about doing the right thing for the wrong reason? Years ago Charles Barkley, the ex-NBA great turned entertaining TNT basketball analyst flatly refused to be a role-model for youngsters. He even did commercials where he angrily stated: “I am not a role model!” Ahhhh…but wave some money in “Sir Charles” face and he’s singing…
No Comment? Not My Readers…lol
By

I recently passed the 300 mark in reader comments, and that’s pretty exciting to me. After all, besides pageviews, there’s no other way to be sure people are ACTUALLY reading this feature/blog than getting comments. It’s fun to hear from people too, whether or not people agree with me. Although I am ALWAYS right and…
Wal-Mart Back in Black … In Bad Way
By

Glad to see my last post on Best Buy’s ads knocking Santa struck a cord with hundreds of readers and several comments. I LOVE Best Buy and have purchased several products there over the years … and hopefully I’ll still be welcome there in the future … lol … sorta. That said, I seem to…
Ho, Ho Humbled … Best Buy Slams Santa
By
mattaug
Let me make one thing perfectly clear … as the late, great President Nixon used to say… I have NEVER been a big fan of Santa Claus. I think he’s part of the commercial distraction that takes away from the Christ in Christmas. Or tries to. That said, I am actually a bit uncomfortable about…
Did Mag Interview Serve Lindsay Lohan Well?
By

“During the past five years, I’ve learned that time flies faster than you think, and because you only live once you have to learn from your mistakes, live your dreams and be accountable.” So said actress Lindsay Lohan of her long-running troubles in the current edition of Playboy. It sounds so reasonable, so mature…
Riverhead Students Make Waves Tebowing
By
mattaug
Leave it to those nutty kids at Riverhead High School on Long Island to cause a stir. Or create a ‘Wave’ as it were … as in the school’s mascot. But even Connor Carroll or Tyler Carroll, two of the students involved in the admitted prank of “Tebowing” in a school hallway during class change…
How-ard ‘Bout That? Stern On AGT
By
mattaug
Did NBC take a dive into the cesspool with Thursday’s announcement that Howard Stern will be a judge on the summer talent show America’s Got Talent? The show has had edgy hosts before in Piers Morgan, “The Hoff” and Howie Mandel. Even Sharon Osbourne is questionable, to some extent being the wife of Ozzy “Bat…
“But First … In Your Neck Of The Woods”
By
mattaug
What happened during that hour? I’ll never know. I am referring to this morning from 7 am to 8 am when I couldn’t find my remote control and decided to do some writing instead … pity the poor readers of THAT article! But seriously, I am an avid Today show viewer despite the liberal leanings…
Alec Baldwin’s SNL Stint Falls Flat
By
mattaug
Pathetic. That’s the best way to describe Alec Baldwin’s appearance on ‘SNL’ the other night. It took me this long to opine because I only saw the ‘skit’ Monday morning on Today. I haven’t stayed up to watch SNL for years, nor would I waste DVR space for it. Meaning I have missed several of…
Tim Tebow… Nice Guy Finishing First
By
mattaug
Nice guys don’t HAVE to finish last. Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow is certainly proof of that. Somehow, some way he is 7-1 as the Broncos starter. This success comes despite the fact Tebow is not yet a great quarterback. Heck, he might not even be very good … at least statistically. But what Tebow…
