The Memphis Police Department, embroiled in the murder of one of its citizens they took an oath to serve and protect, has decided they will simply stop racial profiling. Simple. Who knew it would be that easy? Saying they will stop racial profiling is the same as making a recipe for a cake that requiresContinue reading “Did I Hear That Right?”

Better Late?
If you call me up and don’t start speaking within the first five seconds, my ass is gonna hang up on your ass and I will block your number for all-time. Pet peeve? Probably more like a foible. Although I am actually avoiding the Old Man Syndrome where everything irritates you, and that is probablyContinue reading “Better Late?”
Much Ado…
“A green comet will appear in the night sky for the first time in 50,000 years.” Shut up. Talk to me about something that is documentable, because I will come back and tell you that it absolutely, positively, was 43,740 years and they wouldn’t be able say shit. They know about as much about itContinue reading “Much Ado…”
Finally!
How many years and how many lives later, a dog owner is being held accountable for a murder his unrestrained dog committed on a little girl. Dogs are not natural killers; they are taught that and I hope the owner has to suffer some horrible consequences, commensurate with the pain inflicted by his dog. IContinue reading “Finally!”
Rivals
Our first rival usually shows up as soon as we are old enough to socialize with other kids. Almost always, you can bet that a girl is involved. As we grow older and ascend the educational hierarchy, we form rivals in just about everything: there’s the quiet boy in Chemistry that has a 97 average,Continue reading “Rivals”
Equality
You asked for it, you got it. Amber McLaughlin. In an episode right out of Criminal Minds, a funeral home owner was making a tidy profit by dismembering corpses and selling off their body parts. In another episode right out of Criminal Minds, a woman is killed when a rogue wave hit a cruise ship.Continue reading “Equality”
Careful What You Ask For
All I have heard now for months on end, as if it is some sort of magic cure for everything, is wait until the Republicans win the House, then you’ll see… See what? You can’t even decide on who the next Speaker of the House will be. I gotta be honest with you. Unless thereContinue reading “Careful What You Ask For”
Cross Your Fingers
Start with NFL player Damar Hamlin, a safety who plays for the Buffalo Bills. He collapsed in a heap tonight after making a strong tackle on a Bengal opponent. I have suffered many injuries for which I have paid the price, and I have certainly witnessed many injuries and I will tell you witnessing isContinue reading “Cross Your Fingers”
New Year’s Revolutions
Everybody makes them every year and every year we break our resolve and return to the behavior we wish to eliminate from our lives. I never break a New Year’s resolution. Never. Because I don’t make any. I don’t think I ever got drunk enough to make a resolution to stop drinking. There was thisContinue reading “New Year’s Revolutions”
Close Call
So I decide to brave the traffic and the impending Winter Storm of the Century if you believe the forecasters, and headed north on I-75 to the humane society which I represent, and on the way, I spied a new building sitting out on its own. I could see kennels and a large play areaContinue reading “Close Call”
