What additional money? Oh, boy. Property taxes are assessed based on the value of your property, and every owner is forced to pay them.

Last week, my wife and I took our kids to rural central Ohio for a family vacation. That may sound strange, since most people vacation somewhere tropical, not the Midwest. But our family is a little odd, and leaf peeping has become something of a household tradition.

The premise is a product commercial: “Mean Scary Girlfriend,” a woman who comes preloaded with catchphrases like “No, go change”… Continue reading Opinion: SNL Wrote a Sketch About Us, and We Didn’t Even Have to Pay for the Ad

The VMAs aired last night. You didn’t watch, and neither did anyone else under the age of “still has a landline.” It’s MTV’s flagship awards show for a medium, the music video, that MTV itself has largely abandoned. As best I can tell, it’s a kumbaya session where the music industry congratulates itself on music… Continue reading Opinion: 68-Year-Old Madonna Should Not Be Doing This…

John Mulaney said something true on stage at the Emmys. Mulaney is not a man of the right. He’s not hard left either, and he’s a genuinely smart (and hilarious) guy. I probably disagree with him politically on most things but while presenting an award to a room full of actors, he did something rare… Continue reading Opinion: Actors Can Be Like Furniture With Opinions
