'You Want Fries with That?

I don't have a thing for fat asses, but if I want fries with that, should I have to pay a sin tax for them? Red light cameras are intrusive and outrageous enough. And although "Food,INC" grossed me out and makes me think about what passes my lips, do I need some self appointed food cops to tell me what I should and shouldn't eat?

Find out about the BS behind FAST FOOD, on Thursday, June 17 at 10 P on Showtime. (It will repeat a bunch of times after that showing).

Lt. Col. Frank Latt, Airman Bobby Bonello (back), Thad Forester, Matt Rogers, SSgt Johnnie Yellock, pay tribute to SrA Mark Forester in Haleyville, AL, in January, 2011 It's no big surprise that most "reality" TV is made up of a bunch of contrived moments. One thing I enjoyed about one of my last assignments was the ACTUALITY of it. Last January, for "Coming Home," we were fortunate to be invited to capture a planned tribute to a fallen hero, Senior Airman Mark Forester, who was killed in Afghanistan while trying to save a fallen comrade. Paying tribute to Mark in his home town of Haleyville, Alabama were US Marines Lt. Col. Frank Latt, and fellow airmen, Bobby Bonello & Johnnie Yellock. It was during that extended weekend when it hit many of us civilian clods on the crew the level of sacrifice our military makes on our behalf as part of their oaths to do their jobs well. Mark's brother, Thad, reports that Johnnie Yellock recently suffered ...

If You’re Under 18, There’s No Uber for You!

If You’re Under 18, There’s No Uber for You! Kids Need to Ride Only with Account Holders Over age 18 When Uber and Lyft came on the scene a few years ago, parents of school age kids in many American cities and suburbs breathed a sigh of relief.   Suddenly, a solution for shuttling their children to and from school and activities was always available and affordable. Parents with custody arrangements could exchange their kids without having to interact with former spouses.    Kids could get to the malls, the movies and their friends’ houses.   And kids with access to a parent’s account could even get to and from parties that they weren’t supposed to attend – without having to ask a parent or an older sibling for a ride. In the last few years, Uber, Lyft and other ride-hailing services have become so ubiquitous (and inexpensive) that references to getting somewhere by using them are now by the commonly understood verbs “ubering” or “lyfting.”   As an...

OOPS! They Did It Again!

This just in from Wilmette, Illinois - not another bragmail solicitation for more moola from my high school alma mater, Loyola Academy, but an announcement that smells about as bad as a mid-July three feet high ale-wife die-off on the shores of Lake Michigan. (For anyone raised away from the Great Lakes, every picture tells a story. All you need is smell-o-vision, and you'd be right there with me.): Jun 01, 1967 Photo: Lee Balterman/Time & Life Pictures/Getty Images Dead alewifes fish on beach of Chicago's Lake Michigan, creating stench and water pollution problem. http://www.life.com/image/50674526 ------- THAT WAS THEN, THIS IS NOW: Check out this from the current president of Loyola, Reverend Patrick McGrath, about the Academy's popular and longest reigning past president, Larry Reuter: It made me mad when I read it the first time.
