There are two sides to look at. In the wake of the Kavanaugh hearings, Me Too would have you believe the woman is right and the man is some horrible monster. Especially in this political climate, any old white man is the root of all evil in the world. Is Jim Cummings guilty? That's up to the...

Here's what this old coot knows. The original Gordon (Garrett Saunders) didn't really cut it during the first five pilot episodes. Matt was asked to step in (he was a writer and producer) and test audiences responded well to him, even though he wasn't seeking the attention. He really wanted to...

In honor of Sesame Street's 50th anniversary, there is a new street sign up. Sesame Street is at the intersection of Broadway and West 63rd Street. There is a lot of Sesame history on that block.Across the street is the Empire Hotel, where once upon a time huge neon letters were hoisted up the...

Let's take this absurd notion further. What will happen at the end of sporting events? At the end of any baseball, football, basketball or hockey game, the teams line up and shake hands in the name of good sportsmanship. Should they just beat each other up instead? What will happen at the end of...

At least the outlawing of handshakes has not gained traction in Japan. If the banning of handshakes (let alone hugs) continues, then arrest me right now. Then I'll spend the rest of my life in jail. Then I'll be a burden on the me too's taxpayer's dime. And I'll insist on a private cell (Martha...

Hey, I'm not the only old geezer on the block anymore. Let's hear it for Katzi 428 who hit the big 5-0 and doesn't look a day older. Happy Birthday kid, and pass the prune juice. 8)

Last week was the massacre of 300 Christians in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday. Yesterday was the shooting spree on Jews in a synagogue on Passover. At least only one person died in the synagogue, but that's still one too many.

I will always have a soft spot for Mr. Spimm's Cartoon Theatre. This two hour block on Sunday nights showcased obscure gems like "Twice Upon a Time", or shorts from the National Film Board of Canada. That was great, having a government subsidy for the arts. But over time, as Cartoon Network...

The other double standard nobody acknowledges, calling Trump racist/sexist/misogynist/xenophobic/islamophobic is common currency on the left. But not one will condemn Ilan Omar's anti-Semitic tweets. Why not? Because she doesn't fit the narrative that only white people can be racist. They...

The Democrats seemed perfectly willing to sweep Keith Ellison's past of sexual indiscretions under the rug. So why wouldn't that double standard apply to him?

Beto seems to have run out of steam, now Mayor Pete has taken his thunder. Because he's gay, Mayor Pete is higher up the intersectional hierarchy than Beto. How Bernie still leads the pack goes against the wisdom of identity politics. How can this angry old white man be ahead?!

I would also like to meet some of those Christians who say I can't be a musician. If I can't be a musician, what am I doing up there every Sunday morning singing in front of the congregation? Furthermore, what was I doing up there playing jazz and blues opening up for bigger jazz and blues...

A few reasons. 1) puppet shows are wildly expensive. Gotta build special sets, hire puppeteers, all this stuff that doesn't come cheap. Government grants only go so far, then you need to rely on corporate sponsors. Towards the end of the show's run, Chick Fil-A was a sponsor. Not everyone may...

Well, I can't speak for all Christians, but the idea we're taught to hate Muslims Jews or gays is total bull$&/! There are a number of Jews and blacks that come to our church, and their diversity enhances our communal worship. They are not seen as an enemy. (Hmm, I wonder if anyone has gotten...

If Between the Lions ever did come back (again, don't hold your breath, folks) I would like to see Gus have a bigger role. For those who may remember, Gus was a bunny (with screaming orange hair) that couldn't read as well as some of the others. I'm sure there are many kids that can identify...

Over the weekend several churches in Sri Lanka were attacked and scores of people died. In Sri Lanka, Christians are a small fraction to the majority of Buddhists and Muslims. But in the news, the victims weren't Christians, they were "Easter worshippers". That's what both Obama and Hillary...

Thanks, you're too kind.

Thanks everyone. It was cool to have Easter on my birthday this year. My mom still has my baby book, which says I was born at 1:30 in the morning April 21. I always thanked my mom for holding out for an hour and a half. If I was born on the 20th, I would've had to share my birthday with Hitler...

You must be you. Because if you're not you, And I'm not me, Then we're not us.

Too much sax and violins. My favorite jazz sax man is Wayne Shorter from Weather Report. Anyone good enough to sit in with Miles Davis is okay.
