Money Versus Beauty

Today I am going to have a look at money versus beauty.

A man’s money? A woman’s beauty? Which is more important in a relationship? It’s the money vs beauty debate. Let’s go!

I was inspired to think about this money versus beauty debate after a conversation that recently took place at a dinner party.

My friends told me of a particular New York Craigslist post the other night that I had not seen.

In the post, a “spectacularly beautiful” woman requests a man who earns greater than $500,000 a year.

The Curious Case of Fatherly Fashion

This is a fashion piece. Particularly, fatherly fashion.

Let nobody be confused. I am the last person who should write about fashion. If you meet me one year, and then again ten years later, you might be left with a question: Wasn’t he wearing that same shirt ten years ago?

So, I have no qualifications to write this, except one: being human. And, right now, my human eye is in the airport looking at a father with his three daughters. I can’t help but note that his attire is similar to many fathers.

Political Conversations: Barack Obama, Jack Bauer…and Vicky’s Father

I first wrote the essay below in 2008. In just reviewing it now 2020, it seems almost more applicable today after our 2016 election and the upcoming 2020 election. Enjoy. Cheers, Richard

“He’ll have you be a Communist before you leave this house,” Vicky’s mother said to me as I entered their house for a weekend stay in Paysandu, Uruguay. She was referring to her husband, who is a member of the Frente Amplio party in Uruguay. He was also tortured.

What Does It Mean To Poke Someone On Facebook

My friend Bob asked me the other day, “What does it mean to poke someone on Facebook?”

Initially, I did not give it much thought and responded, “A poke on Facebook…it’s simply an acknowledgment.”

“But,” Bob doth protested, “do you think sometimes a Poke can be much more than a poke? Do some Facebook pokes have more significance than others?”

Amanda Knox: Innocent or Guilty?

Innocent or Guilty? What do you think?

Republican/Democrat Extremists: You’re Not Good For the Country!

This morning, as I sit and watch the Sunday morning talk shows, I have one thought, for both Democrats and Republicans: Get On Board or Get Out!

Americans want to be strong again and they are absolutely tired of political squabbling.

Jenna Marbles: How To Get Ready For a Date

This morning, I just came across the video Jenna Marbles, How To Get Ready for a Date.

After seeing her video, I realized that Jenna Marbles has had nearly 20 million hits on this video and many others. Why? Because she’s funny, raunchy, self-deprecating, and…pretty hot.

Check out here video below How to Get Ready For a Date. If you like it, visit her YouTube channel to see more of her weekly ramblings.

Canadian Lapdancing Teachers [Two teachers, One chair video] 2020 Updates

Two Canandian Teachers, who saw fit to give each other a lapdance for their schools “teacher’s performance” have now been fired after the video was widely distributed on the Internet.

I just read about this here on The Huffington Post (see below for the latest updates).

Initially, I thought, “Well, this is a shame, because they are teaching valuable skills to the future generations…especially the girls who do not pay attention in class and will need other means to make top dollar.”

British Couple Has Sex in Dubai; Wait, No They Don’t

A British couple was just arrested for having sex on a beach in Dubai.

This news comes as a surprise to many. Of course, the surprise comes not from the fact that they were arrested — Dubai, though a modern country, is a predominantly Muslim country and frowns on public acts of indecency.

No, the surprise to many is that a British couple was having sex.

Politicians Who Say “Look” All The Time [drive me crazy!]

Politicians who say the word “look” all the time are driving me absolutely insane!

As I watched John McCain and Barack Obama on 60 minutes last night, I realized what my new commander-in-chief is going to command me to do most often: “Look!”
