Oh Rudy! Why Giuliani’s decline is my personal problem
Sharing the embarrassment of America’s mayor.

Perhaps in the recent frozen disaster and genuine struggle for survival, you missed the latest news about Rudy Giuliani. I can assure you I did not. I am as acutely attuned to his vibrative interruptions on the American consciousness as a seismologist to earthquakes. When is the big one coming, I sit and wonder.
The latest was a minor quake by Giuliani standards. He made a crude, sexist, juvenile remark about professional golfer Michelle Wie West. If you want the details, you can scrape them up somewhere else, but suffice to say, they dovetailed neatly with a cameo in Sacha Baron Cohen’s most recent film, in which Giuliani is caught on tape laying on a bed either a) to make a lecherous pass at a young woman while sticking his hand down his pants or b) to suddenly and actively worry about tucking in his
Murders rejoice! George Gascon is district attorney of La-La Land! PERSPECTIVE
In what land would the cold-bloodied butcher of five people who use his victims’ blood to leave a message on their walls not face opposition to parole from a district attorney even though he was originally sentenced to die?

Los Angeles in November elected former San Francisco District Attorney George Gascon a robotic advocate of restorative justice as their head prosecutor.
Gascon has issued blanket stay-out-of-jail cards “unless there are factors for consideration” whatever that means for misdemeanors such as driving without a license, driving with a suspended license, resisting arrest, loitering to commit prostitution, trespassing, disturbing the peace, drug and drug paraphernalia possession, public intoxication, making criminal threats, and trespassing among others.
Two of Drogheda s hottest musical talents have done it again!
Offica and Dbo - two members of the A92 Collective - have released their first track of 2021 - and a video accompanying Take it (Yuck) hit 120,000 views on Youtbube inside 48 hours and reached over a quarter of a million within days.
Offica, who has amassed over 16 million steams of his work - which included teaming up with KSI at one stage - is regarded as one of the top performers in his genre in the world at present.
His new work is described as a drill classic and is produced by Charley Manson and Kid Spyals.

Friends, I have an awkwardly titled monkey on my back that has been stealing my peanuts for many years, a monkey named Demon’s Souls. Ever since my Dark Souls epiphany when I realised I love From Software’s grim high difficulty action RPGs hurt me more daddy, the monkey keeps asking if I’m going to redo my pre-epiphany Demon’s Souls review where I complain about how it’s too hard and my feet hurt and the waitress was very disrespectful. And I keep replying I can’t because it was a PS3 exclusive and the last time I saw my PS3 it was around the neck of Ride to Hell Retribution as it broke surface one last desperate time. But now Demon’s Souls has been remade for the PS5 and my editor finally sold enough of his organs to get me one so I have now pla
