CNN asked: What Do We Lose When The Colbert Show Ends? Beacon of Speech answers: NOTHING. How can we be so callous? Because we are so sick and tired of all the hand-wringing over the end of the Colbert Show. A Human Representative of a Xerox Machine We are going to give Jimmy Fallon the benefit of the doubt, he mostly disseminates the adult version of frat-boy humor. But, the other 4 are corporate, Liberal Comedians. All the same race, all the same comic philosophy, all in th

A poor Russian Soldier summed up Putin's War in Ukraine this way (Wall Street Journal): "Losses are so heavy that (Vyacheslav) Kudryashev, a former heroin addict who was jailed on drug charges after his previous front-line stint and injury and rejoined the army in return for freedom after six months’ service, said he and many in the Russian army think the war is a deliberate campaign to purge society of those on its lowest rungs, culling the downtrodden, the homeless, and the

Last week, I lost the Pulitzer Contest to a bunch of Woke Warriors. I am still irrationally sour about it. I'm not arrogant enough to sue the Pulitzers, like Trump. I don't have the moral gravitas of Emily Damari to actually do anything beyond whining. I just want to beat on something..... Like a DRUM! I started with all kinds of ideas to build a skeleton of an article, then said "aw, screw it. Here's a bunch of drum songs." Breathe (Live) by Ministry Civilized Worm by the Me

Last week, M. Gessen won the Pulitzer for Opinion Writing. Their writing was woke garbage. A week later I'm still really sour about it. But then today, I saw this story at DNYUZ: New Theory Suggests That Alternate Universe Versions Of You Are Determining Your Fate And I thought to myself, "Yeah, that's the ticket! Alternate Universe Fred WON the Pulitzer last week. Here's my acceptance speech: How do I feel after my surprising showing in Opinion Writing? Not really sure. Sin

This was the cover of a Taiwanese Newspaper: Jan 26, 2020. Back in January of 2020, there was a virus sending panic through China. Using the prism of time, we now know that virus was the first variation of Covid-19. What made Covid so scary? Initial reports indicated a mortality rate of around 5%. For those bad at math, that's 1 in 20 deaths. A 1 in 20 death rate stretches the health care system to the brink. Talk to someone in healthcare today and they'll tell you that, betw

Yesterday, R.J. Day, son of Ohio State Coach Ryan Day, chose to play quarterback at....Northwestern. On the surface, the choice seems curious, but when you dig a little deeper, it makes perfect sense. Today, in the NIL Era, Ohio State's job is not to develop young quarterbacks, it is to win. Pay the best quarterback from an average school to come to your program and win now. The equation worked to perfection when OSU poached Will Howard from Kansas State. Ryan Day's son is no

In February of 2026, beloved actor Robert Carradine, a member of Hollywood's Carradine Family, passed away. Famous from the Revenge of the Nerds Franchise and the Lizzie McGuire Series, the nation was in shock as tributes poured in from co-stars and fans alike. An entire industry paused to mourn his death. A few weeks later, sadly, it was revealed that Carradine had committed suicide. Legal Disclaimer from AI: Does the 1-800-273-8255 Suicide Hotline number still work? Yes. Al

On June 20, 2026, Mike D, formerly of the Beastie Boys, will play his first solo show in Paris. That is big news in itself, but let's take a step back.... Back in the year 2021, we wrote the article: A Reminder of What Punk Can Be Apparently, a loose association of punks were gathering under overpasses in the heart of Los Angeles, near Crystal Park, and putting on unauthorized, and raucous, punk shows. The LAPD kept breaking up the concerts and was criticized for shooting "pr

Last season, the Miami (Oh) RedHawks finished their regular season undefeated, 31-0 in college basketball. 2025-2026 MAC Standings Nothing wrong with winning the MAC, the MAC is a very competitive Mid-Major. But Miami of Ohio didn't win their conference tournament, so they didn't automatically qualify for the 68-team NCAA Tournament. SEC Honks like Bruce Pearl howled that it wasn't fair that the MAC could potentially have 2 teams going to the tournament, while the 12th best t
