Wifi Free


   We've been having some wi-fi issues over the past few days so I've been pretty quiet on the writing front. So much has happened in that time I'm not sure where to begin.

  On Easter Sunday, the holiest of holy days if you are a Christian, a man drove though downtown Cleveland and shot an innocent man. Sadly this isn't an unheard of event but what made this even more horrific...the murderer live streamed it to Facebook. The victim, Robert Goodwin Sr., was victimized yet again by thousands of people watching his death. That I find almost worse.

  Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck have officially filed for divorce. But like the adults they appear to be, they filed without lawyers so nothing about their settlements will be public. That protects their children. Brilliant. They have a history of putting their kids first...they vacation as a family, spend holidays together. You know like adults should behave when they have children but no longer want to be a couple. Kudos to them both for being great parents.

  United Airlines is in the midst of a public relations nightmare. After the media got the film of how a passenger was treated on an over booked flight they knew there would be a backlash. Then the President made a public "apology" that was more of a "blame the victim" statement then anything resembling an "I'm sorry".  It took a plummeting stock price to make them finally take responsibility. Dr. Dao will undoubtedly be a very rich man, in the very near future.

  Saturday Night Live brought Melissa McCarthy back as Sean Spicer. Some people were shocked at the skit. Others thought it brilliant. Lorne Michaels owes Donald Trump a very expensive meatloaf dinner and a bottle of scotch. SNL hasn't enjoyed this level of popularity since the 80's. 

  These are just a few things that caught my eye over the past week. It's been eventful I'll give ya that!
