August 16, 2013

They say no one is an island, but let's face it, some people should be. And sometimes, some people want to be.

The racial discrimination charges against Paula Deen were dropped when it was revealed that the plaintiff, Lisa Jackson, is also white, and therefore, was not a victim. I can't help wondering why nobody  noticed this before. 

Since a year-old picture surfaced featuring a naked Justin Bieber holding a guitar (which he made as a birthday greeting for his grandmother! (how's she supposed to show that to her friends?)), it has become a viral trend called "Biebering". Why does Bieber get the credit, instead of this Times Square tourist attraction?

Prince just joined Twitter. Are you going to follow him? He's been known to party like it's 1999.

For years, I've said that the Devil doesn't care who he uses to hurt us. But he does; it's more effective when he uses someone we love and/or trust.

It takes self-control to avoid profanity. Because sometimes the combination of certain consonants feels so right.

As a food lover, I'm having trouble deciding which junk food craze intrigues me more: cro-nuts or pretzel buns.

President Obama was ridiculed for stating that the next generation's definition of success is being influenced by celebrities like the Kardashians; after all, the president had celebrity support during his campaign. But does that make him wrong?

I'd like to introduce a synonym for racism into the lexicon: how about ethnophobia?

A new trend is sweeping China: dressing children in watermelon rinds. Okay, they're really adorable, and it may be refreshing due to the current heat wave there, but are there no flies or bees in China?
