Madonna: Geriatric toddler in a tiara



I think I'm speaking for a lot of 50-something women here when I say that Madonna had no business at the Super Bowl.

There she was, all Miss High and Mighty, dressed like Cleo-friggin-patra, surrounded by a plethora of gay men in all shapes, sizes and colors.

Oh, and Celo Green.

What was she trying to prove? What was the NFL thinking?

I'd rather see Pat Boone in leopard skin.

Did you see her at the Golden Globes when she didn't win for W.E. standing there all snooty and entitled, with puckered biceps that looked like Jaws had got to them? Her, with that fake English accent?

My, you've come a long way, Ms. Ciccone, since Susan was Desperately Seeking You in downtown 'Troit.

Who could forget the old days with your lace gloves and hair frizz?

Takes me back, alrighty.

Now your claim to fame is being friends with Demi Moore while making terrible English bedroom dramas that even Elton John hates.

Wait! You got to play the Super Bowl!

Women over 50 have no business gyrating with 24-year-olds on stage. Well, there are exceptions.

Tina Turner is an exception. Bette Midler is an exception.

Neither of them are trying to look 25. They are hot and sassy mature women whom I would love to emulate.

Madonna was just embarrassing up there, nearly falling off the stage, with her fake ringlets, trying to be Lady Gaga. Frankly, I thought she was just Ga-ga.

She wasn't even singing the words, for Christ's sake.

When I watch the Super Bowl, I want to see dudes, not menopausal cheerleaders.

Last year, they had Springsteen and he was awesome. The year before it was Petty.

Okay, if you want a chick, pick Beyonce or Aguilerra (assuming, of course, Christina remembers her tampons). Or what about the beautiful and wonderous Carrie Underwood?

Instead you gave us a geriatric toddler in a tiara.

The NFL needs to do a visioning exercise and imagine the half-time show as great, not lame.

The league, and Tom Brady's quarterbacking skills, disgust me.

Ashley Simpson: Don't Let Her Die in Vain

  Six years ago, I was combing through my Facebook and I saw post from my cousin Julie Major. Her brother and his wife were frantically looking for their daughter Ashley who just days before had Facetimed her mom saying she was planning to return to her home in Niagara. Ashley never made it home. She was murdered in cold blood in her home in Salmon Arm then buried in a nearby field. It would be five and a half years before her body was located, and her boyfriend was charged with second degree murder.  Today, Ashley's urn has a sacred spot in her parents' home, and Derek Favell is in jail awaiting trial by judge and jury. The trial is expected to go into next year sometime. This has been an agonizing journey for Ashley's friends and family. The pain has never stopped, and the wounds are broken open every time the family has to sit through a series of pre-trial proceedings. Fortunately, this ordeal will end but the pain will never wane for the people, including me, who have b...

Ashley Simpson: A Father Remembers

I have asked Ashley Simpson's family and friends to give us a glimpse into the life she lived before going missing nearly a month ago. Here is how her father John remembers his sweet girl. Ashley was a treat when she came into this world, a smashing 9lbs 8 ounces with a  head full of hair and nails that needed to be clipped. She has made many friends in her journey of life and continues to make them as we speak. She has made this world a better place by her love of mankind and this place we call Earth; unfortunately this life she has lived hasn't been the best for her. She has suffered through unbearable pain and suffering through her menstrual cycles. She has cysts on her ovaries that make those 10 days a living hell. She had one of her ovaries removed when she was just 14; the other they won't take out till she is 40 or older. Years of hell for my Ashley. I so feel her pain every month but she doesn't quit, doesn't give in.   That'...

What Bell isn't telling you about Fibe TV

Update: This week, we switched back to Rogers after spending far too long using Bell's crappy television service. For those with Bell, read and weep. For those considering Bell, think twice even if you hate Rogers. RS I've always been an early technology adapter. I had a Betamax. That tells you everything (if you're over 50 at least). My first computer was a "Portable". It weighed 40 pounds and I had to lug it around town on a gurney. I've been through probably 15 computers in my lifetime. Apple is the best. It's also too expensive so I have a piece of shit HP, the one I'm writing this blog on. I've had cable, internet and now Netflix. American Netflix . That's how far ahead of the curve I am. I get all the newspapers for free. How? I disabled my cookies so they can't track me when I'm on the newspaper sites. Even the New York Times hasn't cottoned on to that trick. Hahaha. That will be a fifty buck consulting fee. Bein...
