The Christmas season has been kind to those of us who like our food fast and greasy. McDonald’s alone has given us the Daily Double, the delightful (if derivative) Chicken McBites and the diabetes-tastic Holiday Pie. Every other chain is getting into the spirit with a seasonal milkshake offering at […]
It’s been a while since I wrote about It’s Always Sunny, due to my belief that this season has been in the doldrums since the brilliant “Frank’s Brother” (an episode that I’m aware many of you hated, which shows that my tastes are simply that much more refined than that […]

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 […]
