Movie Review: Leviathan
3.5 stars of out 5 If one were so inclined, I imagine that firing up the big screen at home, turning off the lights, and enjoying some delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol-enhanced product might be the ideal way to watch Leviathan. I saw it in a theater. And I didn’t really have any background information, or THC. The three […]

Other Bad Things That Mike Rice Did
Rutgers University fired men’s basketball coach Mike Rice today, after videotape revealed that Rice is a complete and total prick—an abusive, homophobic bully. Later today, additional video was released, uncovering even more offenses by the disgraced former coach. Several of these are listed below. Count on Salt in Wound to keep you up to the […]
Oh Sandy: An Anthology of Humor for a Serious Purpose

In it, I chronicle my hopefully amusing observations of religion’s role in that post-Sandy week here in Hoboken. The good, the bad, and the odd. […]
