If you were a kid in the 1960s or '70s, chances are you watched "Davey and Goliath" without ever seeking it out. It was just there. On Sunday mornings, when television offered slim pickings for a kid, you might stumble across a slightly stiff clay boy named Davey Hansen and his morose talking dog, Goliath. “But, Daaavey...” the dog would protest in his deep, reproachful voice whenever his owner was about to do something foolish. An entire children's television plot about two boys looking forward...
The conga line of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” guest hosts has us thinking the unthinkable: Do we miss the real deal? Make no mistake, Kimmel’s Trump derangement long ago gave the comic osteoporosis of the funny bone. But a quick sample of this week’s guest host reminds us there are even worse options than the former “Man Show” star. It appears that the creative team used AI to help design the Lobo character played by Jason Momoa. Take “Black-ish” alum Anthony Anderson. To the actor’s credit, he hasn’t ...
The modern administrative state has perfected the art of turning basic human relationships into a never-ending nightmare. In modern America, even the simplest family matters can become exercises in paperwork and official permission. But what happened to an Ohio mother crosses into truly disturbing territory. When Andrea Mauk’s 18-year-old son, Damon, died suddenly, he was not a registered organ donor. Andrea had raised him as his primary custodial parent. His biological father was long estranged...
Actor Hugh Laurie was quick to respond to recent accusations about his views on men playing in women's sports. While Laurie's popular character on his hit show "House" was highly sarcastic, Laurie wasn't joking around when it came to this controversial idea. However, his initial remarks only confused readers who were ready to jump to his defense. 'You started it.' Tit for tat It all started when Laurie posted some statistics about the "broigus" in professional basketball. "99.9% of the world are...
The summer before my freshman year of college, my 18-year-old brain was wholly devoted to two things: relishing the last delicious bits of time with high school friends and the equally important endeavor of curating the perfect dorm room aesthetic. The “it” color that summer was mint green. My chosen vibe was (I giggle as I write this) “shabby chic” — because there’s nothing like a 168-square-foot cinder-block prison cell draped in lace and florals. Hiring an interior designer to curate a perfec...
The original trio of "Matrix" movies are considered some of the greatest of all time, but one of the creators is having trouble with Hollywood accepting his latest idea. Andy Wachowski, who now goes by Lilly Wachowski, explained that he has been shopping around what he considers to be a great script, but Tinseltown isn't biting. 'It's not the thing that I had imagined it was going to be.' Gender bender Wachowski and his brother Larry — who is also transgender and now goes by Lana — were once rev...
For years, Western automakers looked at China and saw the world's greatest growth opportunity. China looked back and saw something else: teachers. Semiconductor manufacturing offers the obvious lesson. The United States is now spending enormous sums trying to re-create domestic capacity that took decades to move overseas. American, German, and Japanese automakers wanted access to more than a billion potential customers. China frequently required foreign companies to work with local partners, man...

A Republican congressional candidate says he was disinvited from a California convention in what is yet another episode of cancel culture. Marty O'Donnell running as a Republican for Congress in Nevada’s 3rd Congressional District, but there is way more happening behinds the scenes than the typical congressional run.

Late last month, one or more suspects attacked a postal worker at the San Bruno Post Office in California. They weren't after the employee's wallet or phone. They wanted the mail. The thieves made off with four tubs of it, loading them into a silver Lexus before disappearing. Federal authorities are now offering up to $150,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction. Postal officials warned customers who had recently used the branch or nearby collection boxes to watch their bank and ...
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton intervened in the controversial case where a couple of California parents called for their hired surrogate to abort their intended baby after the child was found to have a heart defect. The "Baby Gabriel" case has divided many along the pro-life and pro-abortion divide after the surrogate mother traveled to Texas in search of life-prolonging care for the baby. 'Baby Gabriel deserves a chance at life, and I will not allow anyone to unlawfully deny him medically n...
"What is a reverse ATM?" This question has been asked ad nauseum for the last few years, and the answer is somewhere between an unnecessary step and a cashless society. 'Hardly-user friendly.' Money walks An early August post asked, "What in the Davos," referring to the home base of the World Economic Forum in Switzerland, where undoubtedly the most controversial world figures come together to coordinate, undoubtedly, the most controversial policies. The "you'll own nothing and you'll be happy" ...
