Why Does 'X' Mark The Spot For Coolness In Pop Culture?

What is it about X? Probably the coolest letter of the 26, X definitely marks the hot spot in entertainment. No, Bert and Ernie didn’t put me up to this. When it comes to the letters of the alphabet, X is the favorite child in the world of cool. Examine the facts: One of the coolest shows in TV history is Fox’s sci-fi thriller, “The X-Files.” It’s an excellent show, even if it does promote xenophobia. After the movie “Malcolm X” was released, millions of athletes, musicians and assorted geeks trying to look hard started wearing hats, shirts,... Read More

Do You Believe? UFO Sighted Over Midwestern Park

I’m not sayin’ it was aliens, but… It was certainly unidentified, definitely flying and presumably an object, therefore it, by definition was a UFO, and I, and my son and his friend, saw it slowly gliding over the Mississippi River and Schwiebert Park going into Rock Island, Illinois.

Schwiebert is just east of the centennial bridge connecting Rock Island to Davenport, Iowa, just to the west of the Rock Island Arsenal military... Read More

Well,... Read More
