Bee-otched For: getting a taste of his own medicine

Sadly, it always sucks when you have a stepdad who's a conservative.

Many years ago, my Mom and now-ex-stepdad moved to Phoenix, AZ. I remember seeing a magnet on their fridge with Joe Arpaio's face on it. The both of them were huge fans of the Maricopa County sheriff because of his no-nonsense attitude. They owned a computer repair shop and one time, a woman walked in with a petition to get Arpaio recalled. Her son was killed in one of his tent cities and Mom and stepdad kicked her out. "You do the crime, you do the time," they proclaimed. However, it was my stepdad who did his damndest to avoid those tent cities when he was busted for drunk driving. Instead, he spent a few weekends in a normal slammer.

Joe Arpaio is well-known for his no-BS attitude towards criminals; instead of keeping his criminals in jails, he has them in tent cities where the temperatures are well over 100 degrees. The inmates also wear pink outfits and are forced to watch G-rated movies instead of their favorite shows.

Now, guess who might be living in a tent city himself real soon? None other than Sheriff Joe himself.

A judge has charged Arpaio with criminal contempt of court regarding a racial profiling case. If convicted, he could face six months in prison. This was made after Arpaio's police kept making immigration arrests after he was told to stop.

Arpaio was the sheriff who claimed that President Obama's birth certificate was forged. And even though presidential nominee Donald Trump has reversed his decision in regards to the document, Arpaio told The Arizona Republic that he doesn't plan to stop until he has proof. 

Meanwhile, Arpaio is getting creamed in the polls by his Democratic challenger Paul Penzone. Joe has been the area's Sheriff for seven terms. He claims that billionaire George Soros is behind Penzone's campaign.

The tragedy here is that good 'ol Sheriff Joe is going to get his comeuppance. God damn the judge if Joe ends up in a country club instead of one of his own punishments. Let him be forced to eat soy crap. Let him be forced to watch "The Lion King" five times a day. Hell, let him swelter in 120-degree heat while he's bonking rocks with a sledgehammer.

Criminals have rights, too, you know...

10.26.16 Bee-otch of the Day: Subway

Name: Subway

Occupation: sandwich shop
Last Seen: Milford, CT
Bee-otched For: having a few nasty skeletons in their closet

---
Yesterday, I attacked Jimmy John's because one of their locations gave a customer a sub with Dijon mustard, which she was allergic to. She ended up getting an allergic reaction which left her unable to speak above a whisper, forcing her out of her job.

But amazingly, that's not the worst thing any sub shop is doing right now.

Kathleen McLaughlin, the ex-wife of now-imprisoned Subway spokesperson Jared Fogle alleges that the fast food giant knew for years that the pitchman was a child molester and kept child pornography in his home. She claims in a lawsuit that Subway execs were notified three times about Fogle's tryists but did nothing about it. Instead, they represented Fogle as a family man (he has two kids that are now ages 3 and 5) and sent him to talk to children.

Fogle was the Subway pitchman who gained notoriety for once weighing over 300 lbs. and losing roughly half his size thanks to taking a daily walk to Subway to eat a healthy, low-fat meal there. However, his star fell when it was discovered that he was in possession of kiddie porn and the fact that he traveled to have sex with minors. He's now serving a 16-year sentence in prison for his crimes.

According to the lawsuit, Fogle would have conversations with various people about having sex with children. In 2004, Fogle approached a young girl and asked if he could have sex with her. A Subway exec was notified, but nothing more happened. In 2008, Fogle had a conversation with a Florida franchisee about having sex with kids and she notified the chain. Once again, her complaint fell on deaf ears. Then in 2011, a news reporter claimed that Fogle talked to her about sex with kids. Once again, the chain did nothing.

Subway is America's biggest fast food restaurant in terms of locations, with over 24,000. My childhood town of Elk Rapids, MI, pop. 1,600 is probably the biggest town in northern Michigan without a McDonald's, which the locals fought tooth and nail to prevent from opening. Subway, however has a location, which originally was downtown but is now in the village's Mobil station. My father lives near Park City, KY,  pop. 537.  It's a small town with a nearly-deserted downtown, but has a Dollar General and a Shell station/IGA that has a Subway. Here in Grand Rapids, there seems to be a Subway on every street corner. I was even pissed when the former Wendy's on 44th Street and Stauffer in the Citgo station became *sigh* another Subway. Subways tend to be very easy to own and operate and don't need to have a lot of employees.

Obviously, Subway has become a company that's too big to fail, even if those $5 Footlongs helped to fund Jared's perversion. Subway was obviously too scared to out him, and now, they have a bigger case on their hands. Tsk, tsk. Thanks, Subway, you'll never see me inside one of your restaurants again.

The only Footlong Jared is getting these days is up the ass. Now, he knows how it feels to be one of his victims.

In the world of subs, there seems to be a Subway in every small town in America, even in towns that don't have a McDonald's.

There are those who love Jimmy John's a lot better, though, because they tend to have better ingredients. The one and only time I went to a Jimmy's, I had the shits afterward. I remember pooping out undigested lettuce.

But a woman here in Grand Rapids is now suing the chain for $75,000 because she got much worse than the runs.

Lindsay Bresnahan claims that she ordered the Billy Club unwich from the Alpine Ave. location. She specifically told them no Dijon mustard because she was allergic to it. Well, they slapped it on anyway and she ended up with watery eyes, coughing and her throat closing. She says in the federal lawsuit that because of the mishap, she can no longer talk above a whisper and is on disability from work. She claims that the restaurant neglected to train their employees in regards to dealing with food allergies.

But since the restaurant is owned by a fucking asshole named Jimmy John Liautaud, well, there you go.

JJ barely graduated high school, so his father told him to start a business and Jimmy John's was born. As Jimmy John's grew, so did his ego. He was a notorious big game hunter, though he claims that he no longer does. However, one of JJ's skeletons is the fact that their employees - even low-wage earners - are forced into non-compete agreements. So in other words, if the Subway across the street pays more, they cannot work there.

Even though JJ's claims that they've changed their rules, I personally won't eat at one. Besides, it was announced that Roark Capital, the right-winged assholes who own Arby's and Moe's Southwestern Grill just bought a majority stake in JJ's and is keeping Liautaud as Chairman of the Board.

So there you go. When you pay your employees shit wages, you get shitty sandwiches and $75,000 goes out the door.

Maybe JJ's oughta start giving out Epipens with their meals.

Bee-otched For: using a Chuck E. Cheese method to get butts in the seats

---
When I was a kid growing up in northern Michigan, I would get bummed watching Saturday morning cartoons.

They would air an advertisement that would start off with a young boy at a dreary, boring restaurant and all the sudden, Chuck E. Cheese would come out of nowhere and transport that bored kid to a land of arcade games and crappy pizza.

Problem was, the nearest Chuck E.'s was hundreds of miles from where I lived up in Torch Lake, MI. Hell, the nearest big town to me, Elk Rapids, didn't have much in the way of video games, especially when it came to newer games.

Sadly, I lived in an area where if you were a minor, nobody liked you. As a matter of fact, Elk Rapids seemed to create more laws to piss us 1990s kids off than to do anything to make us happy.

So when I heard that New Hope Community Church a few miles south of town reopened their "KidZone", I cringed.

Yes, KidZone, where a kid can be a kid, but with New Hope's version of Jesus involved!

According to the news story, courtesy of Traverse City NBC affiliate WPBN-TV 7&4, KidZone has arcade games, ping pong, a bounce house and so much more. According to the church, they now plan to add more classrooms and a 24-hour chapel.

From the looks of things, the KidZone is New Hope's old sanctuary building and gym, at least before their old pastor begged his people for a shit ton of money.

You see, back in the 1990s, I was a teen living with my Dad full-time. My Father was a bus driver, and one day, he dropped off some kids whose parents went to New Hope. Dad and I went, and in the beginning, we were amazed by the size of the church. Immediately, we became full-time parishioners.

During our time at New Hope, I was a regular at their youth ministry. Things were cool and groovy in the beginning, but as the church grew, things started falling apart. They decided to split the youth ministry to two, middle and high school. The middle schoolers got to smack each other with dodgeballs while us high schoolers were thrown into small groups. In these "small groups", our leader would ask us personal questions in front of fellow students. Some of the kids in the room were people I went to school with. It seemed that a lot of the time, they made us feel guilty about even THINKING about sex. The more I went there, the more I HATED youth group.

Of course, the final shoe fell when Rev. David Standfest spent several Sundays telling us all to donate $1.7 million to expand the church. Some people even sold their businesses to do so. Dad and I had a discussion about the church and its antics and we both decided to quit. Because of New Hope's plea for money, it taught me that sadly, churches were becoming more and more of a business instead of serving the people. This is the reason why I decided not to go to church for many years.

Thankfully, I found a church here in Grand Rapids that doesn't beg for money every week. We help the homeless and we're solar powered instead of getting our energy from coal. As for Standfest, he retired from New Hope TC and moved to Grand Rapids where he started another New Hope at the Celebration! Cinema North.

Look, churches need to honor God and not use graven images to get kids and their parents in. Maybe if Elk Rapids wasn't all about what's best for the old fogies that live there, kids there wouldn't want to wait to go to church just to have fun.

Because I shouldn't have to tell a youth ministry leader how much I masturbate to get into the bouncehouse.

Bee-otched For: delivering another idiotic debate

For those curious, I'm typing this at 6:10 on Wednesday night.

When the third and final debate airs in a few hours, I'll be fast asleep, readying my worn-out old body for another 10 hours of real, money-making work (and it's not this blog). I know what Trump will do, which is say a bunch of shit that's not really intelligent.

Of course, I'm not 100% crazy about Hillary, either, but maybe that's why the TV will be off tonight.

Howard Stern on Monday told his listeners that he won't be re-airing clips of Trump on his show anytime soon. Even though he's supporting Hillary, he's still a good friend of Trump, who has been a guest on his show many times over the years. My take? Fine with him, though if I had my own radio show, he wouldn't come close to my studio.

The Donald has burned too many bridges because of this election. He now hates SNL, he's trashed Obama in the past, he's trashing Bill Clinton's infidelity and so on. Hillary, on the other hand is just going to sound better though she'll be far from perfect while she's in the White House.

Just another debate. Move along, folks, nothing to see here. I'll catch the recap on SNL this Saturday.

Name: WOOD-TV
Age: 68
Occupation: west Michigan's NBC affiliate
Last Seen: Grand Rapids, MI
Bee-otched For: fixing something that ain't broke

---The world of TV news was shaken this week if you watch WOOD-TV 8 here in Grand Rapids.

First off, the station unleashed new intros for their newscasts which are well-done, IMO, complete with an orchestral version of the theme the station has used for years. The station even revealed a new graphics package.

But still, there's people who work at the station.

Recently, the station hired Teresa Weakley, who had been doing morning news at Buffalo's WIVB-TV, a CBS station. Rumor had it that she had a falling out with management, so she asked to be transferred to WOOD-TV, which is WIVB's sister. It's a good move on her part since Grand Rapids is a bigger TV market than Buffalo, plus her family's here.

Weakley, 32 is a young, bright anchor who does a decent job co-hosting the station's Daybreak, which airs 4:30-7 a.m. But, her hiring comes at a price for Daybreak's former co-anchor, Emily Linnert. According to sources, the 36-year-old has been distraught over the fact that she's down to hosting the station's hour-long newscast at noon, plus her new role as education reporter. As a matter of fact, her husband - a producer at WOOD-TV - jumped down the road to WZZM-13 because of Emily's alleged "demotion".

WOOD-TV is west Michigan's #1 news station, so why fix something that didn't need to be fixed? Look at Today in 1989: they replaced the homegrown Jane Pauley with the perkier Deborah Norville and stayed at #1 for news in the mornings. In the end, Norville is now the host of Inside Edition while Pauley stayed at NBC for Dateline and eventually jumped to CBS where she now hosts Sunday Morning.

But back to WOOD, the station has had a long-ass history of now renewing the contracts of their news folks. Just ask Susanne Geha, Larry Neinhaus and Jennifer Moss just to name a few. When they all left the hallowed halls of 120 College SE, it was a sad day for the station's fans. Some could boycott, but do they want their news from Kalamazoo (WWMT-3), a woman like Juliet Dragos with a fake smile (WZZM-13) or news from Fox News (WXMI-17)? WOOD-TV is the lesser of all the evils, believe it or not since they are more professional.

In Emily's case, I know how it feels to be bumped by another worker. It's happened to me a few times. All I can say is that I'm happy that I now work for a company that's given me huge raises in the past four years. Since the economy is now pretty good, if they treated me like shit, I'd be out of there in a few weeks.

Let's bear in mind too that WOOD's parent company, Media General is being sold to Nexstar. Apparently, they're just trying to look good for the deal.

It's too bad Emily Linnert had to take one for the team.---

Bee-otched For: being a crybaby as usual

If I were Donald Trump right now, I would think heavily about dropping out of the race and allow Hillary to win.

In recent days, the president wannabe has been crying that the election is "rigged" simply because now, he's behind Clinton in the polls by eight points. The tweets prove it; he attacked Saturday Night Live because of Alec Baldwin's dead-on impersonation of him. Trump tweeted that after the election, he hopes that the show will go off the air, even though their ratings are through the roof this season.

Of course, this proves how much of a grabbed pussy Trump is. SNL has been mocking presidents and president wannabes since Chevy Chase was doing pratfalls as Gerald Ford 41 years ago. Who could ever forget Dana Carvey's George H.W. Bush or Will Ferrell's rendition of Dubya? Or Phil Hartman and Darrell Hammond's Bill Clinton? Of course, if there's anything to make Obama smile, it's the fact that there's nobody to portray him since Jay Pharoah was canned recently.

True, Trump has all the right reasons to be pissed at NBC. After all, they produce Access Hollywood which had the leaked audio of him making all these derogatory statements about women. NBC's parent company, Comcast is a huge donor to Hillary's campaign, giving the former Secretary of State over $125,000 for her campaign this year.

But considering that Fox News Channel is owned by Republican Rupert Murdoch, it's all fair game. The Repukes have FNC while the liberals, well, the true blue ones don't really have a popular choice, though the right cries that MSNBC is too liberal while the Rush Limbaugh crowd cries that CNN stands for Clinton News Network.

In all, the only moron rigging the election is Trump himself with his bigotry and stupidity. The more he waves his tiny arms around and talks smack about women, the more the words "President Hillary Clinton" are sounding great at the moment. It's a shame that this election is not about how one can improve America, but rather making sure that this whiny turd of a human being doesn't take over the White House.

If only Debbie Wasserman Schultz didn't bully Bernie Sanders out of the election.

Bee-otched For: screaming "Help Me, Chuck" and making me want to get her out of my heart

With all due apologies to the Beach Boys, it's a sad shame when anybody uses people as a doormat.

As somebody who uses internet dating to find my queen these days, I was kinda shocked when on one of the sites I frequent, I got a message from a woman in Texas.

Now, I instantly told her that I really want locals, but she claimed that I was cute and told me that we could make our long distance relationship work. In other words, she tried to push herself on me.

We started chatting and she gave me a few pics of herself. She claimed to be from Canada and white, but her pics made her look like she was Hispanic and/or black (I mean, look at the size of her booty). She even told me that she wanted to come to Michigan to meet me this Christmas. However, she claimed not to have a job or even health insurance. She seemed OK, though I was suspicious that a young woman like herself couldn't get a date in her hometown, which is not far from Dallas.

Then, I didn't hear from her all day Monday. Strange. Then, I heard from her Tuesday night claiming that she was in the hospital with menstrual problems and lost a lot of blood. Because of her lack of health coverage, she told me that her medical bill was going to be $580 and wanted me to help her. She wanted me to Western Union her $300. I told her why not use a credit card and came up with some bullshit excuse that the hospital would not accept credit cards. I told her that I was going to bed since it was my bedtime anyway and I woke up with messages that a stalker would normally send like "I know you're there" and lots of crying emojis. The gravy train had to end, so I banned her from my accounts.

For many years, I had a tough time. I got stuck with a boss that only gave me one raise in ten years and in 2010, I got into a car accident that I was at fault on. I ended up buying a car that nickel and dimed me to near-financial ruin. I was hoping for a lot of overtime to help me, but I got stuck working regular 40s. I could have asked family to help, but I didn't. I could have begged people for money, but I didn't. Instead, I simply cut back and even donated plasma.

For anybody to beg for money from a stranger shows how pathetic they are. What if this Rhonda chick is on drugs? I'm not going to cause her untimely demise. What if she's talking to ten other men and scamming them as well?

This is why it's best to stay local, folks. I've worked hard for my money and I'm glad that I have more money than I've had in years. My car's paid off and it doesn't have any issues. The last thing I need is to lose it all to a stranger.

So look at that picture above folks. If you see it on any dating site, my only suggestion is this: RUN!

In the several days since video leaked showing Donald Trump telling Billy Bush that he would "grab girls by the pussy", the Donald's ratings have gone down the toilet.

Polls have shown that Trump's numbers both for the Presidential Debate on Sunday and the overall election are very low. As a matter of fact, some polls indicate that Hillary Clinton is now beating Trump by ten points.

But sadly, leave it to the religious right in America to stand by their beloved billionaire, including its king, Pat Robertson.

On a recent 700 Club. Robertson defended Trump's "Macho Talk", stating that this was all done 11 years ago and that the media will do anything to push him down. But, he won't back down.

Of course Robertson will defend Trump simply because unlike Hillary, he has reached out to evangelicals. Hell, long-embattled televangelist Jim Bakker even defended him on a recent show. I Googled "Jim Bakker" and "Trump" and I get "Satan wants to kill Donald Trump", "'Messiah' Trump will slay the evil serpent", "If Trump loses, the government will shut me down" and so forth. After all, this is the same guy who thinks that the world is coming to an end and that the best way to fight this is to buy a bucket of non-perishable food.

Don't you just love the religious right? They're the same folks who tried to shut down Howard Stern and yet they fund a radio station here in Grand Rapids whose morning personality raped two young boys. Now, they hate Hillary because of a stupid email scandal, plus another scandal that killed only four people versus the 7,000 people Bush's antics killed.

You see, this is why it's important to vote for anybody BUT Trump. He's a hypocrite and a liar and all he'll do is lower taxes for the wealthy, creating another economic collapse like 2008. Plus, his bigotry towards Mexicans and Muslims shows how UNChristian he is.

The relationship between Trump and the Bible Thumpers show how sad the world of organized religion is. They believe in a God who is against excessive wealth and yet, here they are with houses just for their dogs. They probably treat their dogs better than their own grandkids (right, Paul and Jan Crouch?). This is why I'm proud to go to a church that preaches against this madness and if they were to close tomorrow, I might as well stay home on Sundays.

The religious right: the Devil in disguise.

Bee-otched For: sending their Note 7 into the Galaxy

Don't you just love having something that explodes in your pocket that's NOT severe diarrhea?

After only a few months on the market, Samsung has pulled their Galaxy Note 7 off their shelves indefinitely because of their batteries exploding. They tried to make their replacement phones better, but even those were overheating and exploding, too.

Now, I own a Note 5 and I had my own recent issue with it. I took it to my pool where it got wet and since it was 90 degrees, it overheated. I turned it off and on, and even though it cooled off, it still said it was overheating. I sent it in to Samsung to get fixed only to have them tell me that because it got wet, it was "Beyond Economical Repair". I got the phone back, but thank God, it somehow worked like a charm. I was shocked. Of course, there was that part of me that wished that I could have chucked it into some rice before shipping it out.

Oh, and last week, the SIM card failed and had to get a new one. That sucked.

Did I mention that I got a wireless charger for my phone and it died only three months after I bought it? SMH.

The Note 7 (and BTW, there's no Note 6 because Samsung wanted their phone to be in line with their Galaxy S series) was supposed to be waterproof, unlike the Note 5. But now with their exploding batteries, there's a chance that the model could be discontinued altogether.

Now, as somebody who has used Samsung products all his life, this news kinda makes me shake my head and wonder why the hell I use them in the first place. I had a Samsung TV that I had from high school until 2008 when I upgraded to HD. I still have that TV, though one day a few years ago, I was taking a piss and heard it turn on and off constantly. I went to check on it and there was something burning. I immediately unplugged the TV and called Samsung. They told me that my model was under a recall and it was a free fix. No worries, though I was tubeless for a few days.

I've had many Samsung phones, and the issues I've had with them over the years included shitty antennas to the charging port breaking. I've talked to a few cell phone folks and they all agree that Samsung's biggest issue is cheap parts. Yet, you look at their current models and they're so sleek-looking.

The more I think about it, the more I'm thinking that my next phone might be an iPhone. I have family that have them and they all love them to death. Plus, Apple is an American company, even though like Samsung, their phones are not made here in the U.S. of A.

My two-year contract with my phone company ends a year from December, so if they want me to be retained as a customer, Samsung better act now or else my next phone will have the words "Steve Jobs" written all over it.

Is it me, or is "Samsung" Korean for "Nitrate"?

It's an American institution for over 80 years. Sadly, however, there's people who will desecrate the image of Steak 'n Shake - or any good restaurant - by doing something they should have learned how to do when they were five years old.

For those who don't know Steak 'n Shake, it's a Midwest thing. Of course, if you're a fan of David Letterman, who grew up in Steak 'n Shake country, you know that the chain gleefully built a location called the "Steak 'n Shake Signature" next to his old confines of the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York City. What makes Steak 'n Shake special is that they don't serve hamburgers, but rather a burger that's a hybrid of T-bone, sirloin and round steaks. Order their signature Steak 'n Shake dinner, and you get a double steakburger and a shake, plus two sides (i.e. chili and fries). Usually, dinner at Steak 'n Shake is less than $10 per person.

Here in Grand Rapids, there's many Steak 'n Shakes. When I first moved to Grand Rapids in 2002, I would usually go there for a late dinner at 2 a.m. in the morning or so if I had to work Saturday. Usually, the service was awesome and the atmosphere was loaded with young people and those getting out of the bar that night.

Now that I'm on first shift and there's an influx of new burger joints in my neck of the woods, I hadn't been to Steak 'n Shake in ages, so on Saturday, I went. I was planning to sit at the bar, but the waitress whisked me all the way to the back. I figured that all was well as long as I had courteous service.

In all, the service wasn't bad, but it wasn't perfect, either. I didn't get my shake until maybe five minutes AFTER my meal arrived. But even worse, I was seated behind an old man who did something that was, well, kinda rude.

His pants were down so low that half of his ass was exposed.

BTW, this old geezer looked like he was in his 60s/70s with a bald head with gray hair on his sides with glasses.

I was so embarrassed that I told my waitress about it and she thought it was funny, too. I was thankful that I was eating by myself so I could switch seats in my booth. Periodically, I would turn around to see if the old man pulled up his pants yet and he did not. Hell, I was thinking about snapping a photo of this disaster of a human being's buttcrack and exposing him on Facebook. I would have put a caption that read "if I can't unsee this, you can't either!" Of course, Dani Mathers did the same thing in a women's locker room and it got her kicked out of the gym she attended. But let's face it: Steak 'n Shake isn't a women's locker room.

Oh, and the man wasn't even wearing a belt, either. And you thought that only black people had this problem.

So, the next time you attend a restaurant, people, please, please, please.... PULL YOUR PANTS UP! Nobody wants to see your crack. I'm not paying $10 to see your old, stanky buttcrack.

Now, if you're a young lady, please ignore my advice. ;)

10.10.16 Bee-otch of the Day: Donald Trump

All I can say is that Donald Trump's shady past is becoming more and more of an omen for him.

Last week, it was revealed that Trump was talking with Access Hollywood's Billy Bush about women and proclaimed that he would "grab them by the pussy".

Now, the Republican presidential candidate has been spending his time apologizing and dishing out excuses about his behavior. Of course, the right was nice enough to proclaim that thousands of Hillary Clinton's emails were leaked, though there's nothing all that serious about them.

Leave it to the right to defend their hero by stating crap such as Joe Walsh's "who bought the 80 million copies of "Fifty Shades of Gray"?" and others crying that "Bill Clinton was a rapist".

Look, the point is that Trump is an asshole, plain and simple. He kissed a lot of his female supporters goodbye. The more he opens his mouth, the more he opens a can of worms. At last night's debate, Trump claimed that it was simply "locker room talk". Now, over 50 of his fellow Repukes are pulling support of his campaign.

NBC has announced that because of his role in Pussygate, Billy Bush has been let go from being a correspondent on The Today Show. GOOD, since the show already has two Bushes too many.

Less than one month and counting....

10.6.16 Bee-otch of the Day: Glenn Beck

Name: Glenn Beck
Age: 52
Occupation: right-winged loony
Last Seen: New York City
Bee-otched For: prepping the end of The Blaze

Looks like Glenn Beck's brand of right-winged hate propaganda is going into a free-fall.

Sources close to his website and network The Blaze are saying that they're very close to being shuttered and what little staff they have left are looking for new jobs. In recent years, the company has gone down from 25 people on its editorial staff down to only six, healthcare benefits have been slashed and their New York studio has shuttered.

Beck created The Blaze after he left Fox News in 2010 when nearly 300 advertisers yanked their ads from the network when he called President Obama a racist. He moved his daily show from Fox News to The Blaze and urged his faithful viewers to tell their cable operators to pick it up.

All these years later, people tune to Fox News, CNN and MSNBC for their news while The Blaze remains an afterthought. Glenn even did what Fox News would do and put a young, 24-year-old skank named Tomi Lahren to host a show on his channel. The only exception is that her boobs look real.

The Blaze has had four CEOs in six years and one of them is even suing Beck for fraud and mismanagement.

Let's face it: Glenn Beck's career is over. Once Trump loses his run for the White House, right winged talk radio will be dead again and as-is, most stations will continue to lose money from the fact that the majority of its listeners are old. I know, Glenn's a Liberatiarian, but he's still an asshole.

The Blaze might as well be extinguished.

Name: Rouse Properties
Age: 5
Occupation: mall owner
Last Seen: New York City
Bee-otched For: allowing my childhood mall to become a near-ghost town 
---

The year was 1992. The internet was not all that popular yet, The first George Bush was entering his final year in the White House and grunge was in.

It was also the year the biggest town closest to me, Traverse City saw its newest and coolest mall to date, Grand Traverse Mall. The mall itself opened in phases, but was finally fully opened later that year. When it opened, the mall had over 100 stores, JCPenney (which moved from the downtown location it had since the 1920s), Hudson's (now Macy's) and Target. Plus, it had a nine-screen theater, a food court complete with a carousel and (especially for me) and nice-sized arcade, Pocket Change that I spent lots of my hard-earned allowance at.

A few months ago, I went there for the first time in six years and, well, a song from the ironic year of 1992 popped up in my head.

In recent years, the movie theater closed, the arcade downsized from a sizable section of the food court to a measly little spot near the food court. But hey, you can still ride the carousel!

But the saddest part of the mall is the fact that the corridor leading to Target is nearly empty. Back in the day, there was Gumballs, which sold bulk goods, a dollar store and a shoe store called "Athletic X-Press" which was really Foot Locker, which had another store in the mall.

Oh, did I mention that Foot Locker no longer has a store at the Mall, nor in northern Michigan? At least Famous Footwear sells Nikes.

Part of Grand Traverse Mall's problems all stemmed from the fact that its former owner, General Growth Properties went bankrupt during the Great Recession of 2008. In 2011, GGP created a spin-off, Rouse Properties, that own mostly malls in smaller to mid-sized towns. Rouse owns five malls in Michigan, including Grand Traverse Mall. Late last year, the Cinema closed when Carmike opened up their new 14-screen + IMAX megaplex about a mile away at the old Horizon Outlets. The mall announced that the space where the old Cinema was, plus a huge chunk of the surrounding corridor was going to become a new Dick's Sporting Goods.

Now, as some people are jokingly saying, Dick's has pulled out.

According to several sources, Dick's has withdrawn their plans to build their new store, though according to the mall's general manager, the deal isn't officially dead, though it's not moving forward, either. the 54,000-square foot store would have hired 60-75 staffers.

Some are claiming that the mall's no-carry policy played a role since Dick's sells guns, though management is denying it. Some are also blaming Garfield Township for the debacle.

Nonetheless, the mall has a situation on its hands. The Traverse City area has seen plenty of development over the years, including a new Costco that's in talks over by Cherry Capital Airport and the addition of a new Meijer in Acme. However, there are some retail duds in the area, including Traverse City's first indoor mall, Cherryland, which is now an outdoor shopping center.

But look here in Grand Rapids. I live down the street from Woodland Mall, which turns 50 next year. Guess what? THAT MALL IS AWESOME! When Rivertown was built in 1997 in Grandville, instead of putting its tail between its legs like Cherryland did, they simply remodeled and added in new stores and a food court. The mall's owner, Taubman sold to PREIT (Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust) who kept building on to the mall, adding restaurants, a movie theater, a two-story Barnes and Noble and a lot of stores that once were never in Grand Rapids. Hell, right now, The Apple Store is moving next door to a bigger space. Yes, there was that hiccup with the recent controversy regarding the store that sold dogs from puppy mills, but that was quickly resolved.

Hell, even Centerpointe Mall across the street improved tremendously when they demolished half the mall and made that into an open air shopping center. When it was enclosed, it was like walking though miles of pure nothing.

So, why in the hell is Grand Traverse Mall 25% dead and Cherryland loaded with empty spots? IMHO, it's management. From what I was told, Grand Traverse Mall's problem is that the high rent has scared off some tenants over the years, or they've downsized altogether. True, there's also the issue of attracting some big-name stores to smaller-than-what-they-think-it-is Traverse City, pop. 15,000. TC has no Barnes and Noble, TGI Friday's, H&M, Apple Store and other common stores seen here in Grand Rapids.

IMHO, I think the managers of TC's failing retail outlets need to pay a visit to Woodland and Centerpoint and look at success. See what they're doing right and use that as an idea. Right now, downtown TC is a helluva lot nicer than the malls.

Right now, the only thing Woodland doesn't have that Grand Traverse Mall has is a carousel.
