I’m not disappointed in Ryan Lochte. That would be like getting disappointed at the sun for rising in the east. At squirrels for hoarding nuts. At Arsenal for finishing fourth. No, I’m not disappointed in Ryan Lochte. I’m disappointed in myself. When I saw the headline – Ryan Lochte and three others robbed at gunpoint in Rio – my first thought
Read moreA number of people who are supposed to be friends have crossed a line and I don’t know if there’s a way back. In recent months I have been called an idiot. I’ve been called silly. I’ve been called a child. I’ve been called privileged. I have also been called a sexist and a misogynist. Not by Republicans, or trolls or
Read moreThis may be Andy Kaufman’s greatest gag ever, but it’s getting away from him. Some time back I floated the theory that Donald Trump is actually Andy Kaufman and I’ve suggested that this election is an elaborate piece of performance art. You may think I’m being silly, but that theory comes closer to explaining the last few months than most

Read moreSiyayilanda – we are fetching our future. It’s #HopeTuesday, and time for a brief object lesson. Few cultures in our lifetimes have struggled harder against oppression than the South Africans.
Read moreApropos of Denny’s insighful analysis earlier today, the Washington Post blows the headline. Instead of Broad array of military luminaries condemn Trump over attacks on Khan family a less gutless rag would have gone with Broad array of military luminaries condemn Trump over attacks on Khan family but none withdraw endorsements #justsaying #profilesincourage
Read moreI attended the 120th annual Cheyenne Frontier Days this afternoon and it was awesome. A few things, first on the competition front: 1: The guy who won the bull riding was a rookie. A 20 year-old rookie. He rode three bulls in three rounds. These are serious bulls, and the idea that anybody rode one of them is ridiculous enough. Three in three days?

Remind me – Khizr Khan’s son died in which war, again? The headline and video couldn’t be much more compelling. WATCH: Muslim Father Of Fallen Soldier Tells Trump ‘You Have Sacrificed Nothing’ The soldier’s father, Khizr Khan, could not be more right about Donald Trump, a narcissist of the first order, and maybe even a sociopath, who has spent his life serving nothing
Read moreI recently took the camera up to Denver’s River North Arts District (RiNo) to shoot some of the street art in the neighborhood’s alleys. There is a lot of talent in the 5280, and I thought I’d share some of it for #HopeTuesday. (Captions are my titles.)

I love Brian Windhorst, but he needs to get his act together on this one. The NBA is mulling pulling the All-Star Game from Charlotte over the state’s reprehensible HB2 “bathroom law.” Good – this is as it should be. But the ESPN story cited here, penned by NBA reporter Brian Windhorst (whom I really really like), has a little problem.
Read moreToday we launch a new campaign aimed at taking back the future. The original text for this meme was a lot longer. But when you boil it down to its essence, the message is pretty straightforward. We have become so incredibly negative that it’s eroding our ability to even consider the positive. We’re so terrified of where we are that we have
Read moreWhen they first hit in 1997 with “MMMBop,” I remember Hanson being dismissed by my music intelligentsia friends as some kind of put-up job, a prefab kiddie novelty act. Thing is, it wasn’t true. At all. The brothers Hanson – Taylor, Isaac and Zac – were legit talented, their shiny, radio-friendly sound underpinned by a rich sense of Chicago R&B rhythm
