It’s a Sad Day For the Simpson’s and their FansT

Sam Simon and his family

Okay, I must confess to being a fan of The Simpsons...

Los Angeles, CA—One of the fathers of the Simpson family has left us too soon at age 59. Award winning writer Sam Simon died here from colon cancer.

Simon was a writer and being a writer is a lonely occupation. A writer’s only companion is his computer while he struggles to put significant words on paper.

Sam Simon was an amazing and talented man. He was also legendary philanthropist that enjoyed sharing his substantial wealth.

Simon was a true friend of animals, funding veterinary care for critters in need. Simon also funded a vegetarian food bank for the needy. He constantly donated money to a long line of very deserving causes through his Sam Simon Foundation.

After being diagnosed with cancer in 2012, Simon started buying zoos and circuses just to free their animals.

Simon went public with his cancer fight and battled it as nobly as anyone ever could. I always wonder what additional works we lose when prolific creators like Simon leave us so early.

Simon’s clever writing brought him fortune and fame. He’s a co-creator of The Simpsons and wrote for so many other projects on the small or large screen. Simon left his pen scratches on shows like, Taxi, The Tracy Ullman Show, Anger Management and many others.

We must always remember that the talented actors we seem to enjoy so much exist only because of the words people like Sam Simon put on paper.

Every great film or TV show begins with a book or script written by storytellers. For Sam Simon and his fans, sadly, there are no more stories.

A 40 Caliber Nightmare Is Caught On Tape.

So you’re confident that that .40 caliber S&W service round will keep you safe. Maybe you’ll have second thoughts after you see this video. One hot summer night in 1994 Tempe and Mesa Arizona police were involved in a pursuit with this suspect who ran into a stranger’s apartment to hide after being shot TWICE in the chest. He was shirtless and you can see the blood pumping out of those two wounds. What’s really frightening is just how agile this fellow is as he struts to the ambulance. If he was not handcuffed and had a knife or a gun, ask yourself if he could still hurt you, your partner or a hostage? If your jurisdiction demands that officers carry either the 9MM or the .40 Caliber S&W it’s time to show this video to your bosses and lobby to have the .45 ACP round authorized. The switch may well reduce the screaming by self-appointed community activists about how many rounds police had to use on a suspect. The really talented and courageous video journalist, Karen Ke...

The origin of the feature film, COME FRIDAY…

CLick On the pictures to see full size versions. Long ago there was a young lady I had the hots for in a big way (Yes, I know that hots is not a word). She was pretty, incredibly bright, and had some real elegance about her. She had a love for children and basic kindness that you don’t often see in someone her age. I met her parents and could understand she came from a much more stable home than mine. I was raised by a single, welfare mom and suddenly found myself way out-classed. For whatever reasons things did not workout they way I had hoped. Sadly for me, we went on our separate ways. From time to time I’d run into this lady in various places where our job had taken us. Whenever this happened my heart would skip a beat or two. I left my hometown Chicago, and moved to Arizona where I founded my detective agency. As a private eye and soon a TV news producer too, my career took me to the highest profile criminal events in Arizona and throughout the country. There’s no question that ...

Tyranny, Government Corruption and Democide

Americans like to think they are exceptional. Yet most couldn’t tell you the first thing about how governments, like clockwork, repeat the same bloody cycles of tyranny and collapse. Everyone assumes the Nazis hold the crown for worst government in history. Sure, Hitler’s crew were sadistic thugs who industrialized murder. But “the worst”? Not even close. They just happened to do their killing during a time when cameras, film, and bureaucratic obsession with record-keeping made their atrocities impossible to hide. If Goebbels had been working with the technology of Genghis Khan, you’d barely have a postcard left to prove it. History is littered with tyrants who weren’t so kind as to leave photo albums of their mass murders. The Turks tried to erase the Armenians. Stalin starved Ukraine into submission during the Holodomor, then doubled down by purging his own people until the bodies stacked higher than Lenin’s promises. Mao made Stalin look like an amateur, turning his “Great Leap F...
