Good morning and Happy Valentine’s Day to those who celebrate such things. I’m in a mood and ready to ruin some people’s good day, so let’s get right to it.

Did you watch the Super Bowl Halftime show this year? Did you understand a bit of it? If you did, then you are not a 44-year-old white father of two who listens to Pat Benatar and Steely Dan on a regular basis. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, mind you.

Anyway, that short fellow was a rapper named Kendrick Lamar. And his Super Bowl halftime show was basically his “Wrestlemania moment” in his ongoing feud with Canadian rapper Drake. Continue reading →

Cassidy, boyo, the drink’s finally gotten yeh.

The Irish doorman of the Grassy Knoll Pub had no other explanation for what had to be the hallucination of four men in Hawaiian shirts colorfully decorated with the heads of Shiba Inu dogs wearing sunglasses. They’d emerged from a very official looking black Suburban which said “Department of Government Efficiency” in gold lettering.

And one of the hallucinations was now talking to Cassidy. Continue reading →

We’re currently in the thick of Girl Scout Cookie season, that time of year when those adorable little girls in uniforms who look like they could sell Donald Trump the Brooklyn Bridge marshal their ranks into the cutest sales force on the planet to sell us drugs.

Don’t stare at me like that. How else can you describe the effects these cookies have on grown adults? Geez, the way some of you consume Thin Mints, it’s like you think the word “thin” will apply to your waistline. Continue reading →

I’ve been watching with some interest the confirmation hearings of President Cheeto’s latest cabinet. It’s been entertaining watching Senators cackle and shriek their displeasure at the selection of Fox News talking heads set to lead our nation for the next four years.

Whatever you think of the Donald, you’ve got to admit selecting cable news talking heads for cabinet appointments is a pretty slick move optically. They’re used to pithy answers that make a point and then moving on, which is great for hearings like these. And they’ve been on Fox News so they’re used to being yelled at, having their integrity and intelligence insulted and don’t take any of it personally. Continue reading →

Welcome to 2025! Weren’t we supposed to have teleporters and flying cars by how? What a ripoff. Anyway we at Simple Justice wouldn’t dream of starting this New year without properly saying goodbye to 2024.

Time for The SJ Year In Review!

Your humble humorist decided to embrace the modern age and use AI to assist in the penning of this post. Before anyone gets upset, I had a really difficult time defining this year in one word. So I enlisted the services of X’s Grok, Google’s Gemini and Meta AI. Here were the results: Continue reading →

It’s almost the end of the year and I’ve not done an Unsolicited Opinions in a long time. Fortunately, my brain’s bouncing all over the place and I’m ready to share a few takes on things on which no one’s asked me to opine.

Allow me to rectify that!

As longtime readers will know by now, what follows are unsolicited opinions no one’s asked for from a self-identified middle-aged crazy man on the internet. No one should take any of the following seriously. Unless, of course, you agree with me. Continue reading →

Friends, as you read this it’s Black Friday. The day retailers attempt to move their ledgers into the black by offering deep discounts on shit they marked up to begin with so shoppers feel satisfied as they part with their hard earned dollars.

Unfortunately, Americans no longer give this day the significance it once held. We’ve grown soft with our Cyber Month sales at Amazon and our two-day Wal-Mart deliveries. No longer do we have the killer instinct that produced some viral YouTube videos of grandmothers getting knocked senseless in pursuit of the newest smart TV. Continue reading →

I’ve achieved a new role in life. I’m a cheer dad.

Before you start congratulating me, don’t. I have four duties as a cheer dad: Drive to the competition, pay for everything, clap when I’m supposed to and bring snacks.

Anyway, let me back up to the beginning when my wife decided to spring on me that our daughter wanted to start taking cheer lessons. I was against it at first as I got bullied by several cheer leaders in middle and high school (don’t ask, not discussing it), but my daughter’s pleading eyes eventually persuaded me.

FRIDAY: Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson—8 PM EST, NETFLIX

Hello 911, the betting public would like to report a potential murder.

Mike Tyson is stepping back into a professional boxing ring at age 58 to fight YouTuber turned boxing star Jake Paul, who is 27. The YouTuber started boxing back in 2020 and has fought mostly MMA fighters and fellow “celebrities” in non-sanctioned boxing matches.

This is different. Both fight camps agreed to a sanctioned bout with modified rules (shorter rounds, no headgear and heavier gloves). Netflix has promoted this fight all year as part of the platform’s goal to run more live events in the future. Continue reading →

“At least we’ll be entertained while the world goes to hell.”—Black Mirror

From where I’m sitting, the vote Tuesday night went exactly as I hoped it would.

Tennessee came in at #7 on the initial College Football Playoff rankings. I dig it. It’s not top four and we’re ranked worse than fucking Georgia, but we’ve got room to improve. It’s manageable.

Okay, I know there’s some people out there who are tearing their hair out over the presidential election. I’ve seen the videos on Twitter. To these people: your tears sustain me as I am bereft of normal human emotion. Continue reading →
