2017 has been a weird year like no other, the kind of year that changes people. Jimmy Kimmel has hosted his ABC talk show since 2003, and has position himself as a wry, Letterman-esque, anything for a joke comedian. Who knew that he’d turn out to be the new Jon Stewart? After he had a […] More
Perhaps you’ve heard of Michael Flynn. The former national security advisor has been in the news a lot lately…like how on Friday morning he agreed to cooperate with the ongoing investigation into the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia and plead guilty to charges of lying to the FBI about his own Russian connections. Pleading guilty […] More
For years, nay, decades fans of James Cameron’s epic Titanic have been asking: Why did Rose let go immediately after saying she “never” would? Furthermore, wasn’t there room for Jack on that floating door? (Yes.)

Naturally, President Donald Trump […] More
Whether you love, hate, or are ambivalent (which is probably unlikely) about President Donald Trump, you have to admit that it’s pretty puzzling for him to refer to himself as America’s “favorite president.” We should have a contest as to which of the Networks, plus CNN and not including Fox, is the most dishonest, corrupt […] More
