The White Claw saga continues…

About a month ago, I wrote about America’s obsession with flavored-seltzer water, and the quick rise of White Claw—a very popular hard seltzer. I said it then and I will say it again...I don’t get it. I never will. But when I saw CNN’s latest report...

A sensible rant on the Emmy snub for Desus and Mero—the #1 show in Late Night

I am not upset...honestly I’m not. The Bodega Boys newest iteration of their late-night show is only in its fifth month, so I get it. These things take time. But any excuse to sing praises to Desus (aka The Ghost of Mufasa) and Mero (The Dominican Don...
