Ever heard the old saying, “When Men Were Men”? It has its fair share of variations, but you get what I’m saying. Those four words talk about a time when masculinity was something to be proud of. It talks about a time when heroes were actors like John Wayne and Arnold Schwarzenegger, performers jumped around on stage for the opportunity to get flashed and meet a Backstage Betty, and little boys had swords and guns as toys. When did it become “not cool” to be a man? Where was the …

Women and gay men all over the world have had their hearts ripped out. Their leader has announced her retirement. Oprah is leaving her show. I guess she figured that she has finally amassed enough money and can officially buy the City of Chicago. What does a powerful, independent women need with a ridiculous Jerry Springer afternoon time slot anyway? Well, I for one hope America can learn to live without her. Now maybe I can get through a day without hearing of her kindness and gratitude. Like a person …

There are two universal opinions of Twitter: 1) what the hell is Twitter? and 2) Twitter is the only way I get my news. I was a skeptic at first too, but after tip-toeing into the Tweeting waters I’ve become a huge fan. To get the most out of Twitter, you don’t even really need to use it. Just sign up, search for the sources you want your news, opinions, and other information from, and you’re done. Think of it as your own little news hub where the headlines are …

The other night, I was watching VH1… ok, please don’t judge already. Nothing was on any other channel and VH1 had a special on Buddy from Charles in Charge – I’m not going to pass that up! Anyway, immediately following was a show I haven’t seen yet – Sex Rehab with Dr. Drew. To steal a quote from Lloyd Christmas, “just when I thought you couldn’t get any dumber.” I didn’t know whether to laugh at this show or just feel sorry for America because it’s on the air. And …

I am sure many states celebrate the opening of deer season with a bang (pun totally intended). However, I would wager a guess that not many of these places ushers in this glorious time of year quite like Michigan. The home state of Ted Nugent is bustling with excitement. Hell, around here, it might as well take President’s Day over and call itself a national holiday. For the first week of the season, thousands of folks take off work, leave their families and escape to the woods for a chance …

How fun are video games? Where else can you fly a plane, race a car, or be the starting quarterback for the Lions? (Ok, maybe some things aren’t THAT tough to accomplish.) Ever since Mario was jumping on Koopa Troopa’s heads in the 1980’s, the video game industry has had one basic goal: Make the games more realistic.

Ever sit around watching tv and see something that makes you say, “Man, what a great invention! I wish I had thought of that!” This product does not fit that category. Instead, after I heard about this, I said, “Who the hell would buy one of those?” The product I’m referring to is the Withings WiFi Body Scale. It’s not your typical body scale that tells you your weight, body fat percentage, and BMI… it has wireless. And what does it do with a wireless connection to the internet? Tweets …

The latest of the Allen Iverson saga in Memphis has now taken a new turn; Retirement. Yep, A.I is considering retirement.
When Allen came into the NBA, many suspected him to have a Hall of Fame type career, which unarguably he has. But what many didn’t suspected is that the foot note he leaves on basketball will be smaller then his questionable 6’ stature. Allen has been a prolific scorer throughout his NBA career and currently ranks 17th on the all-time scoring list with just over …

In this crazy, mixed up Christmasized world of ours, we have a blatantly obvious problem formulating before our very eyes. There are far too many Ebenezer Scrooges. No, I am not trying to make a statement about the lack of holiday cheer or the abundance of grumpy old geezers walking the streets. Rather, I literally mean what I say….there are too many Ebenezer Scrooges! How many freaking times do they need to remake The Christmas Carol? How many times must we be forced to endure that whining little cripple and his call …
