In a previous article I talked about NPR’s coverage of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau being on the cover of Civil War Two: Choosing Sides #5 and how it seemed more like a Marvel PR stunt then official international news. This led me to wonder why comic books are so terrible at selling themselves. I […]
Hello! My name is Deborah Anne Davis, though most people call me ‘Debbie’. I’m also known as “QCAlegirl”, a term created to name my blog where I talk about beer, the Quad Cities, and many other topics, but mostly beer and the QCA, two of my passions in life – and that’s exactly what I’ll […]
Remember when you’d spend your weekends hanging out with your best friends, staying up all night, eating tons of junk food, and watching your favorite movies in your super comfy pajamas? Well, four Iowa comedians are recapturing that nostalgia this Saturday, and turning the volume up to eleven. Chics with Bics, a brand new comedy […]
It’s a case of the rich and the poor as fantasy football begins its season, as injuries and poor performance have collided with breakout performances and sleepers going wild. Here’s a look at the first week of the season . . . The Rich Denver Broncos RB C.J Anderson, in week 1, scoring over 46 […]

Listening to NPR has been a recent change in my morning routine since most of the morning radio programming in the Q-C is either bad music or worse comedy. The piece they had was about the Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau, appearing in a […]
Last week I looked at the NFC, now it’s on to the AFC… AFC EAST Buffalo Bills Keeper – RB LeSean McCoy. “Shady” has looked good in preseason! Rex Ryan will run him a lot; if he stays healthy he could be a top 3 RB this year. Round 3. Sleeper – TE Charles Clay. […]
Bottoms Up Quad City Burlesque has been a strong presence in the Q-C nightlife scene since its debut five years ago. And, in all that time, as host and admin to our Facebook page, I have read so many messages asking for more. The requests for classes, auditions, bachelorette parties, festivals, and the list goes […]
“Really, I can actually write about fantasy football?” That’s what I thought after talking to QuadCities.com Director of Digital Media Sean Leary one night on social media. “Yeah, that’s what I’m hiring you to do!” he said. Sign me up! So, here are my first fantasy football musings. I am going to focus on a […]
