Is This A Country Song Or What?
by Steve West on February 19, 2009

Playing a country song backwards, as the old joke goes, and your wife comes back, your dog is alive again, and your trucks rolls over onto its wheels. The Mickster has got it bad in Oscar week as his beloved chihuahua died in his arms. Not to make fun of what must have been a horrible event, but did he really need to display his mourning by attending a New York fashion show the very next day? I'll choose to cut him some slack over this one but the demerits are mounting. All I can say is he better be wearing a Domenico Vacca tux at the ceremony and maybe I'll attribute his attendance as a business trip.

An Open Letter to Trump Voters

I'm not mad at you that Clinton lost; I didn't vote for her either. I'm unconcerned that we have different politics. And I don't think less of you because you vote one way and I vote another. Go »
