Ok, maybe it is a bit early but I have the feeling the next step in CNN’s growth will be a theme park. Why a theme park? Well, that is about a far away from covering any real news possible. My case in point…
In the last week CNN has been covering, and strongly promoting, some pretty “hot” stories. [Read more...]
Valentines Day is this Saturday. Fortunately for me, my wife is not big on “manufactured” holidays. This means I don’t really get her anything. Seriously. This isn’t one of those “don’t get me anything” and then “hope he does” either; we have been married far too long.

Same-sex marriage stepped into the light again this week as Julie and Hillary Goodridge filed for divorce. Julie and Hillary became the face of the debate to legalize same-sex marriage. They were among seven gay couples that filed a lawsuit in Massachusetts (then becoming the first state to legalize same-sex marriage). Last week they filed for divorce in Suffolk Probate and Family court.
It occurred to me they are now doing their best to stimulate (pardon the pun) the economy and maybe we should rethink same-sex marriage. [Read more...]
The Superbowl has seen it all; close calls, last minute wins, and wardrobe malfunctions. You would think at this point nothing could shock us. Well, I was wrong.
People in parts of Texas were treated to an advertisement that promoted cheating on your spouse. [Read more...]
