What I’m Thankful for: 2022 Edition Note: TRUTH: In 1000 Words or Less will be off next week in recognition of the Thanksgiving holiday, but until then, please enjoy our 2022 edition of What I’m Thankful For… I must admit that I am surprised as anyone that this is officially the 8th installment of my […]
Oh Ye of Little Faith
Oh Ye of Little Faith If there’s one thing the last couple of weeks have reminded me of it’s that black people share our ability to say remarkably stupid and offensive things. It’s funny, but after years of listening to the mental ramblings of Donald Trump and his mentally-challenged, Maga-loving supporters, I had begun to […]

Say What You Mean Are you just about over all the political commercials taking over the airwaves this past month?

When Your Heroes Turn Out To Be Assholes
When Your Heroes Turn Out to be Assholes I love sports as much as the next guy, but I don’t remember the last time I wrote about sports two weeks in a row in TRUTH: In 1000 Words or Less. But then Brett Favre had to go and be the ultimate douche that he really […]
C is for Punt
C is for Punt Ah, I can smell it in the air now, can’t you? As the aroma of fallen leaves and my girlfriend’s zucchini harvest bread come wafting through my house, I can tell that Fall is coming. And who doesn’t love themselves some Fall? Sure, it means the end of the long, carefree […]
Lindsey Graham’s Abortion Bill Faux Pas
Graham’s Abortion Bill Faux Pas Oh, Lindsey, you just couldn’t help yourself, could you? You had to go and make a giant mess for your party, now didn’t you? On Tuesday, Sen.
