I, frankly, have no idea
I, frankly, have no idea what to say about the Catholic Church and the priests that have been in the news lately. It’s all so sad and tragic that I can barely follow it at all.
Reading through the blogroll over lunch today I discovered two very important events that had taken place this week. I learned that Farid and George had won a business plan contest, gaining $10,000 to help startup their restaurant. And then, as I continued reading I learned that Andrea passed away from the cancer that she…

Pin Am I sad that there are fewer child abuse advocacy groups on Facebook overall? Sure. But, what makes me sadder is how many legitimate advocacy groups fell massively short of their duty to tell the truth to their followers.

If you truly want to advocate for children, stick to the truth, or suffer the consequences.

If you aren’t familiar with the details, you can read them here, although they are quite disturbing. When I…
I listened to the latest BS Report podcast on ESPN today, an interview Bill Simmons did with Sugar Ray Leonard. I was aware that Ray openly discusses the sexual abuse he suffered as a child in his recent autobiography, but I hardly expected that to be a major portion of the interview. If you want to hear that…
