On Sunday evening, surprising news of comedic icon Leslie Nielsen’s death cascaded through the online community. Well, I suppose it wasn’t so surprising. I mean he was 84 years old and had pneumonia. When taken in that context it was about as surprising as Liberace’s death by “emphysema.” What I […]
The other day a co-worker and I were discussing the show American Dad! and how we felt like we were the only two people on the face of the Earth that enjoyed it. As if on cue, a second co-worker who had been listening in on our conversation blurted out […]

Jax’s son Abel is still missing, Gemma’s now holed up with her senile father and the the Sons were just targeted in a drive-by shooting that claimed the life of Deputy Hale…whatever is a MC (motorcycle club) to do? Well, if you’re the Sons of Anarchy, you try to get […]
