If you’ve ever listened to Sports Card Radio, a podcast about sports cards, you probably know that host Colin Tedards is not a fan of raffles. It’s where someone takes an unopened, factory sealed box of sports cards and charges people for the privilege of getting all the cards from a specific team. The team you … Continue reading "Sports Card Radio: Raffles, razzes, and girls that look like boys"
There’s a billboard promoting the movie X-Men: Apocalypse that some are saying is inappropriate because they feel it promotes violence against women. In the image Apocalypse, played by Oscar Isaac, is choking Mystique, played by actress Jennifer Lawrence. I have a hard time understanding the underlying logic with this criticism, mostly because it seems to … Continue reading "Some upset over ‘X-Men: Apocalypse’ ad"
What’s happened to the Democratic party? Last night at the DNC convention, an 11-year-old girl and her mother, a Mexican national who is in this country illegally, went on stage and spoke. The girl did most of the talking because her mother couldn’t speak English even though she’s lived here for over two decades. The … Continue reading "The Democratic party no longer represents me"
Former Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III made news a few days ago when word got out that he was divorcing Rebecca Liddicoat, his wife three years. The two have one child together. More details are now beginning to come out. Griffin began a relationship with Grete Sadeiko, an Estonian-born student attending Florida State on … Continue reading "Robert Griffin III is a dirtbag"
I got an email from The Baltimore Sun with a special offer. The title of the email was, “2017 resolution: No more fake news! Only read trusted stories, $1.25 a week for a year.” In the body of the email was the following image: We believe tall tales belong in libraries? Don’t they know that … Continue reading "The Baltimore Sun wants to protect me from ‘fake’ news?"
A woman was at Cheeseburger in Paradise, a Jimmy Buffett inspired theme restaurant in southern Maryland, eating lunch when a skunk walked into the establishment and bit her. The skunk was captured and then shot in the restaurant’s parking lot. The skunk’s brain was tested and it was confirmed that it had rabies. You know … Continue Reading "Rabid skunk bites woman at Jimmy Buffett theme restaurant"
Today is Easter, the day Jesus Christ arose from his tomb after dying for everyone’s sins. Your sins, your mother’s sins, even Jimmy Buffett’s sins. We’re talking everyone’s sins. All someone has to do to have their sins forgiven is to ask. Not the person who was the victim of their sin, but Jesus. All you have … Continue Reading "Happy Easter and/or April’s Fool’s Day"
There’s a picture floating around the Internet, as pictures often do, that shows Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucas Films, standing with three women. They’re all wearing t-shirts that say, “The Force is Female.” What the photo means depends on who you ask. Some say it’s proof that Kathleen Kennedy is a militant feminist who wants to … Continue Reading "‘The Force is Female’ is not about Star Wars"

Just when I think my opinion of Donald Trump can not get any worse, he does something to drive it even lower into the ground than it was before. From ABC News: President Donald Trump canceled a planned visit Saturday to a cemetery for Americans killed in World War I, the White House citing bad … Continue Reading "Donald Trump must really hate the rain"
Driving for Uber yesterday took me to the nearby city of Frederick. While there, I thought I’d stop by the newer Walmart on the north part of town. I checked out the diecast car section. I’ve gotten back into collecting Hot Wheels. Not the cheap mainline cars like I did before, but the premium cars.
Once a week Lyft emails its drivers a feedback summary. It supposedly shows how we did for the week and if there are any areas we can improve. It includes our up-to-date Lyft driver feedback score. That is, it’s up-to-date at the time the email was sent. I normally ignore these emails. I have a
Funimation, a Texas-based company specializing in dubbing and distributing anime for an American audience, went to Twitter on Saturday and engaged in a bit of virtue signaling. Maybe you haven’t heard, but June is officially Gay Pride Month. Its purpose is to call attention against the discrimination of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people.
I read yesterday that Twitter kicked Eric Lang, a famous board game designer, off its platform. He broke the social network’s Terms of Service (ToS). What did he do to run afoul of Twitter’s ToS? It’s a… mystery. When Twitter gives you the final heave-ho, they don’t tell you what you did to earn the […]
The NFL postponed last night’s nationally televised game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Pittsburgh Steelers because the Ravens could not follow the strict COVID-19 procedures put in place by the NFL. As a direct result, the coronavirus has been spreading throughout the Ravens organization. From ESPN: The NFL decided to postpone the game because […]
Today is the 246th year anniversary of the United States becoming its own country. Before July 4, 1976, the original 13 states were English colonies.
If it wasn’t for a bunch of slave owning white men thinking that paying tax on the tea they drink was one of the most immoral things they could be asked to do, we’d probably still be British colonies. Even worse, we could be the most southern part of Canada.
Being part of Canada? Other than being forced to attend a Jimmy Buffett concert, I can not think of no worse fate.
Today is Easter, the day Jesus Christ arose from his tomb after dying for everyone’s sins. Your sins, your mother’s sins, even Jimmy Buffett’s sins. We’re talking everyone’s sins. All someone has to do to have their sins forgiven is to ask. Not the person who was the victim of their sin, but Jesus.
All you have to do is ask Jesus to forgive your sins. He’s the one who paid for the sins by dying on the Roman cross, so it kind of makes sense when you think about it. He paid for all sins you committed in the past, the present, or the future.
If you do ask Jesus to forgive your sins, you’re good. You’ll go to Heaven as soon as you shuffle off this mortal coil. If you fail to ask Jesus to forgive your sins, you’re going straight to Hell. That’s where the Devil lives.
The Devil. Also known as Satan. Some even call him Lucifer.
The way the system works, it doesn’t matter what type of person you’ve been on this earth. You could live the best possible life, helping those in need and choosing to always do the right thing. If you don’t ask Jesus to forgive your sins, you’re spending eternity in a giant lake of fire.
On the other hand, you can be one of history’s biggest monsters and if you ask Jesus to forgive you for everything you’ve ever done, you’re going to Heaven. That means if Adolf Hitler asked Jesus to forgive him of his sins two seconds before Eva Braun shot him in the head, Hitler went to heaven.
Statue of Adolf Hitler praying.
That’s just the way the religion works. Hitler might be in Heaven. It all depends on whether he asked or not. Plus, Hitler was Catholic. It wouldn’t be outside the realm of possibilities to imagine Hitler praying to Jesus before he died.
If you don’t like that, take it up with Jesus. He’s the one who set up the parameters used to determine who goes to Heaven and who goes to Hell.
Today is also April Fool’s Day. It’s the one day a year unfunny people attempt to be funny by making up something stupid and passing it off as the truth. In other words, it’s the one day a year people act like Fox News. If you fall for it, you’re the fool. I greatly hate April Fool’s Day and those who participate in it.
When the Internet first started, April Fool’s Day was bad. As time went on, I think more and more people realized how stupid the whole thing was and decided not to engage in its foolery. Good.
I don’t know why Easter and April Fool’s Day are on the same day this year. I’m not a calendar scientist, so I don’t have an explanation. I know Easter floats around on different days each year while April Fool’s Day is locked onto the first of April. If you have a problem with both Easter and April Fool’s Day falling on the same day this year, blame Easter. It’s the one that can’t commit to a single day.
