In 2013, a Tesla burst into flames when it ran over a metal object. Then it happened again a few weeks later. A federal investigation was launched and within four months, it was closed. Why? How? Tesla quickly determined should debris hit the car’s battery pack when the chassis was lowered at highway speeds—well, it would catch fire. The company …
Have I mentioned before that I love politics? Well… I do! I love the argument! I love the drama! I love the insults! I follow all of it, and I love to dissect every little piece of info that comes around. But, lately, I’m annoyed. I’m annoyed at this talking hairpiece named Donald Trump. What, exactly, annoys me? Simple… I …
My conversation with my daughter this morning: Daughter: “Mommy, you are just a little beautiful today.” Me: “Well, I think you are completely beautiful. Why am I just a little?” Daughter: “I don’t like those jeans on you. Or your shirt.” You’ve gotta love the unfiltered honesty of kids. She also enjoys literally pointing out when I have “a big …
Perk up FOT Nation—House of Cards is almost back. I don’t know about you, but I plan on ordering in a pizza, perhaps opening some good bourbon and binge watching some HoC in late February. Why do I love the show? Because politics, like sports, are a public window into the world of management. House of Cards shows the back …
I’m feeling really bad for Sony right now. They didn’t ask for all of this. All they did was make a movie about a scum bag dictator in order to score some laughs.

The first thing I want you to know is that this post has nothing to do with with things you might expect based on the title. Let me give you some examples of things this post is not about: —Ferguson, MO or any of the fallout from that situation (Are there any moderates in this situation I should be reading?) …
If you’re reading this, I can assume a few things: You are super smart. You are very good looking. You are active in the social world. This is likely not the first time you have seen this argument. And, I promise you it will not be the last. Social media is here to stay. And even those who try their …
There’s a story kicking around my hood that I thought FOT readers might enjoy. You may have heard, during the 2012 election, the educated/enlightened/hipster voters of the great state of Washington, together with our progressive friends in Colorado, decided to de-criminalize marijuana. The feeling is that it’s not as harmful as other things we put in our bodies (tobacco, alcohol, …
God, I like you people. You’re nice. You’re professional. You shop at Dillards, so you always look fresh and clean—which brings us to our first video featuring Andre 3000. (Email subscribers, click through, because there’s probably going to be a lot of videos in this one.) You’re winning. There’s just this one little problem. As talent pros, you’re stuck in a …
I was thirteen years old when Oliver North got busted in the Iran-Contra Affair in 1986. The young kids in the audience probably only know Ollie as a conservative media guy, appearing on Hannity regularly. I first heard of North when President Reagan held a press conference to say that he had just fired him. Having the leader of the free …
