Mel Gibson’s Hollywood career is hanging in the balance after the star allegedly screamed anti-semitic abuse at a police officer after being arrested for drink-driving.
The 50-year-old Oscar-winner, who is a devout Catholic, issued a grovelling statement apologising for his ‘despicable’ tirade and blaming the outburst on his life-long battle with alcoholism.
The Mad Max and Lethal Weapon star was arrested in Malibu, California, in the early hours of Friday morning after being clocked driving at almost twice the speed limit.
Gibson allegedly yelled at the sheriff’s deputy who had stopped him: ‘F****** Jews. The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world.’ He then challenged officer James Mee: ‘Are you a Jew?’

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
