Well, Let Me Say This About That

Well, Let Me Say This About That is an interesting twist on current events, as told by Dallas’ finest and funniest Craig McCartney.

Let It go

“It is easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.” Someone said it…probably not Mark Twain…possibly some middle aged guy in a bar. Doesn’t really matter. What matters is this one sentence might be the thinking person’s mantra and path to preserving one’s sanity for the next six months. If you live in a blood […]

My Name Is Craig and I’m A (Political) Junkie

While Americans may no longer depend on print journalism to be well-informed, they don’t depend on CNN, MSNBC, or Fox either. Because, let’s face it, those of us who haunt those networks aren’t looking for the news of the day. We’re junkies. And our dealers (Wolf Blitzer, Rachel Maddow, Megyn Kelly, et al.) have been cutting our drugs with baby […]

You Have Mail

It would be too embarrassing for me to admit how many unopened emails are in my inbox. Not that the unopened ones are from anyone I actually know, you understand. Mostly junk mail from anyone who managed to get my email address. Oh, and political fundraising. Lots of those. So every time I go online, there they are—these unread messages […]

A Bowl Of Cherry Tomatoes

Almost every week, something hits the radar and I can hardly wait to write about it. Like a luscious vine-ripened East Texas tomato, some topic will just fall out of the sky, begging to be sliced and diced. Or, just eaten whole with a salt shaker. But that didn’t happen this week—I only got cherry tomatoes, nothing really big enough […]

Religious Freedom

Those pesky religious freedom laws in North Carolina and Mississippi are bumming out a lot of folks, gay and otherwise. From big business to rock stars, opponents are canceling corporate expansions and concerts. Even a major adult site (with a really creepy name) is blocking North Carolinians from viewing its porn…pulling out of North Carolina, so to speak, leaving North […]

The Rules Of The Game

My mother had rules for everything. And it wasn’t just the nothing white after Labor Day rule. There were spring colors, mostly pastels, that couldn’t be worn before Easter and after August. There were fall colors that could be worn judiciously into winter, but never after the first warm spell…no matter how early. Rings could be worn on both hands, […]

V*LL*Y *F TH* D*LLS

Patty Duke died this week, and she and I go way back. I have no memory of when she won the Oscar, but I do remember every word of the theme song to her television show. And that was before I even knew about the Ballet Russes. Or Crepe Suzette. When I found out about her death, I had to […]

Cooking With Craig

Say what you will, the times we live in are interesting. And you need go no further than Facebook for a cacophony of opinions and perspectives on everything that’s going on. That is, if you haven’t unfriended everyone who posts things that don’t reinforce your point of view. And you have that right, but it’s a whole lot less interesting […]
