Lisa Lisa, No Cult Jam: The rudeness is getting worse. Stop it, please.

http://lisalisanocultjam.blogspot.com/2012/10/the-rudeness-is-getting-worse-stop-it.html

Lisa Lisa, No Cult Jam. Sunday, October 14, 2012. The rudeness is getting worse. Stop it, please. Two nights ago, I attended an event at which President Bill Clinton appeared. I returned home and posted some pictures of the president on Facebook. One friend, a Republican, left a post on my wall that read: "So happy for you that you were able to see him. I'm sure you had a great time.". This is what set me off tonight: A post that involved a photo of a piece of toast and the words "Barack Obama, November ...

Lisa Lisa, No Cult Jam. Saturday, March 29, 2014. You're in the nicest store in the whole city, Lisa.". In the Kinks' song "Come Dancing," singer Ray Davies laments the demise during his childhood of a dance hall his then-teenage sister had frequented. "The day they knocked down the palais, part of my childhood died," Davies sings of watching the building fall. And, in a white box with a gold ribbon, a hunk of Roquefort cheese. (Smelly cheese in a box, as a treat? And pastries and poetry. I have friends ...

Lisa Lisa, No Cult Jam: Laughing with the enemy: From "Real Housewives" to "Sister Wives" with my children's stepmother

http://lisalisanocultjam.blogspot.com/2015/03/laughing-with-enemy-from-real.html

Lisa Lisa, No Cult Jam. Monday, March 30, 2015. Laughing with the enemy: From "Real Housewives" to "Sister Wives" with my children's stepmother. Divorce is awful, no matter how you slice it. No matter what leads to it, and no matter if the parties involved are better off apart, it's still a horrible thing to go through, especially if kids are involved. She was, and is, my ex-husband's wife. Them When the kids were young, her place in their lives made me miserable and jealous. It didn't matter that my...

Lisa Lisa, No Cult Jam: I've become the dreaded "lapsed Catholic." Is Easter a good time to make amends?

http://lisalisanocultjam.blogspot.com/2015/04/ive-become-dreaded-lapsed-catholic-is.html

Lisa Lisa, No Cult Jam. Friday, April 3, 2015. I've become the dreaded "lapsed Catholic." Is Easter a good time to make amends? This is going to be pretty personal, even for me. I didn't always pay attention. Sometimes I slipped out the side door right after Communion. I was not a good Catholic. I was disrespectful to my parents," I'd say, not really remembering if I had been or not. The priest would tell me to do better, then sentence me to one Our Father and two Hail Marys. And that was it unti...So I ...

Lisa Lisa, No Cult Jam: Dogging the Duggars, Part Deux

http://lisalisanocultjam.blogspot.com/2011/07/dogging-duggars-part-deux.html

Lisa Lisa, No Cult Jam. Tuesday, July 19, 2011. Dogging the Duggars, Part Deux. So here we go again with the Duggars. The blog post I wrote a couple of weeks ago. First, I don’t hate the show. And second, even if I did, I'd still watch; I don’t expose myself only to things I like. I enjoy watching shows that make me think, and this one does. To recap: Michelle has a baby roughly every 18 months to two years. Once she has the child, she’s - by her own admission - the baby’s “buddy&#8...Of course, Mom and ...

Lisa Lisa, No Cult Jam: Sometimes, it helps to look back.

http://lisalisanocultjam.blogspot.com/2015/03/sometimes-it-helps-to-look-back.html

Lisa Lisa, No Cult Jam. Monday, March 16, 2015. Sometimes, it helps to look back. March 16, 2013. When I was a little girl, a woman named Ann Bradford was our next-door neighbor. Ann was in her 40s and was a matronly woman with a tight perm and polyester clothes. I was around middle-school age when Ann showed me a picture of herself as a teenager, and I was stunned to see she had been very pretty. As much as it pains me to admit it, I've become Ann Bradford. I can't attribute the weight to anything in pa...
