"A Day At the Races Ain't Always Funny"When I was younger, not much younger, but younger than I am now, I went to my friend Sammy's house and we watched that Marx Brother's movie, A Day at the Races. Sammy was a year older than me, but we weren't at that age yet where a year meant anything, where a year meant that you had to ... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Baseball Should Barry Bonds be allowed into the Hall of Fame?

8 of 56

The answer to this question depends on whether or not you believe that Barry Bonds should be accountable for doing something that, at the time he did it, was not against the rules. First, a look at the numbers:The numbers are staggering. Before allegations of steroid use began to surface, Barry Bonds had incredible seasons. I... More..

Sports & Recreation > Basketball Players Kobe Bryant and his desire to be traded

2 of 10

As far as I am concerned there is only one team out there that has the ability to make a trade for Kobe Bryant a reality. That team is the Phoenix Suns.Now, before everybody starts barking that there is absolutely "no way the Lakers will trade within their own division", remember that if there is any team in the NBA who histo...

Sports & Recreation > Football (Other) NFL is in good hands: NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell

1 of 5

The new commissioner of the NFL, Roger Goodell, has spent no time making his mark on the venerable sports league. Within a few months, he has all ready suspended "Pac-man" Jones, Tank Johnson, and Chris Henry. Yet the true test of his leadership is yet to come. The first real test he will receive is when the truth comes out a... More..

Sports & Recreation > Sports Celebrities Can Beckham save Major League Soccer?

8 of 29

I have a different take on why Major League Soccer will never be popular in the United States and it has nothing to do with coaching, star power, or the sport itself.Soccer, as wonderful of a sport as it is, just is not designed for American television audiences. Soccer does not support the :30 second commercial format which ... More..

Entertainment > TV Genres & Trends An historical perspective on how shows like American Idol are destroying pop culture

9 of 13

I watch most reality television shows. Why? Because they are well crafted pieces of entertainment. They are also some of the most interesting shows on television or, and you can argue this point all you want, people wouldn't be watching them.That, my friends, is a fact. The truth about reality television, American Idol includ... More..

Parenting & Pregnancy > After School Should parents raise their children without television?

233 of 305

The question of whether or not one should raise his or her child without television is a fairly ridiculous question. Television and its cohorts, as Mr. Lewis stated in his number 1 rated article, is everywhere. No matter what you do as a parent, your child will be able to watch television somewhere, someplace, and probably wi... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Death Penalty Is the death penalty an effective crime deterrent?

104 of 119

If I were to learn that an individual had raped or murdered my wife, sisters, or mother, my first reaction would be to want them dead. On the spot. Without remorse. Without trial.And, that reaction wouldn't necessarily be wrong. The way we feel as individual human beings is something that we often times try to control too muc... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Constitutional & Contract Law Has political correctness undermined free speech in the US?

38 of 39

Political correctness has not undermined free speech. What we need to remember is that free speech is not a right written in stone. Free speech, for instance, does not allow you to yell "fire" in a crowded theater or grocery store. Not only that, but nobody has said that you cannot use a racial slur or the f-word, or any othe...
