The Eddie Murphy Collective
I mean I knew about Eddie Murphy, but I didn’t know my Eddie Murphy…. Murphy came onto the scene a month and 48 Hrs. after I did back in 1982, you see, so it wasn’t until 1996, the year that also gave us his Nutty Professor remake, that I like, hopped onto the Eddie Murphy […]
Acquitted but Not Forgotten
Not in the mood for a second fun and expected Saturday morning surprise, huh, America. Fucking le sigh. He must be so happy – sooo happy – now that he’s beyond O.J.: Donald Trump, the Twice Impeached, was acquitted (I know!) of the charge of incitement of insurrection, because obviously. Seven Republicans did join the […]
A Comment Re: London Breed & Gavin Newsom
Get a life, people. It clearly, demonstrably, undeniably is one thing to harp on Donald – yuck…too early – Trump, and it is quite a ridikolous other to sue the governor as a pressure tactic to get restaurants to reopen, when schools ought to be the priority. Newsom, much like San Francisco Mayor London Breed […]
We Have Such a Beautiful Bay
The San Francisco Bay’s not for spilling oil in it; I don’t care it was an accident, Chevron. Why are we still having these type of “accidents,” anyway? Don’t a lot of people get paid lots of money to ensure things like this don’t happen? What’s it gonna take? A Beirut-type of incident? (Take a […]
Dare Greatly, America
The second impeachment of Donald “the Impeached” Trump can go ahead, for a trial is Constitutional. The U.S. Senate voted on it, OK…56-44, with six Republicans growing a spine and joining all 50 members of the Democratic caucus. For the ultimate in white privilege (oh, that’s right…), can you believe there was a debate? That […]

As some of us begin to see our communities re-re-re-open this COVID-19 season, let us remember that one person’s moment of quote-unquote freedom almost 11 months into our ongoing global pandemic is barely another’s second-wave cuarentena. Four hundred forty-two thousand Americans have died from this ever-evolving pest, OK, of course to say nothing of the […]
My Wish for 2021
Upcycle the shit.
And Just Like That, Indeed
No wonder I had, legit, been cravin’ a cosmo…. When I got to this land, in the year 2000, Sex and the City was the toast of the town that HBO helped to go premium, even though Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) had just gone bad by cheating on Aidan with Mr. Big. Season 4 […]
