It looks like Greenland has voted a “thanks but no thanks” to DJT and his plans to annex the country. Not to worry. He’ll find a different country to pick on in his plans for world domination. I see that we are sending up a rescue mission to save two astronauts who have been strandedContinue reading “The Joy of Living”

Enjoy the Ride
A 73 year-old Australian man was pulled over for a routine traffic stop and it was discovered he was still under a suspension that would ban him from driving again for another 92 years. He can drive again when he is 165 years-old. I lost my license briefly after one of the many bouts IContinue reading “Enjoy the Ride”
Tourney Time
Even my wife Karen, the most non-competitive-everyone-should-get-a-trophy person on Earth will watch an exciting NCAA tournament basketball game. As far as the NBA goes, she has even taken a liking to Jimmy Butler and she doesn’t like Lebron so she’s a hater, too. I think the last second buzzer beaters for a big underdog teamContinue reading “Tourney Time”
When Push Comes to Shove
Now that I am a retiree I look at the statistics for people filing in the United States for unemployment benefits is somewhere around 200,000 to 250,000 per week. Is it me, or does that number seem high to you? I know, huh? And political analysts refer to it as a “sturdy” labor market. GoingContinue reading “When Push Comes to Shove”
Hear Me Now
Believe me later. My paean to Hanz and Franz and the Saturday Night Live’s fiftieth anniversary. I’m not one of those old fuddy-duddies who dwell in the past and say that the first few seasons of SNL had the best and funniest ensemble casts ever (although they did). I mean, there have been funny peopleContinue reading “Hear Me Now”
Beast Mode
I am over the shock of all the anti-transgender nonsense in the news. It’s from the top down… The hook said She is attending college but can’t read or write. Now she is filing suit against her school district. Girl might not be literate, but she is not stupid. I still hate this type ofContinue reading “Beast Mode”
Around the World
Raise your hand if you feel sorry for any of the multibillionaires that were making hundreds of millions and now are suffering temporary setbacks. Yeah, me neither. The Show-me state seems to still have one foot stuck in the Wild West as they debate a bill that would place a $1000.00 per head bounty forContinue reading “Around the World”
Clickbait
I click on way too many of these “stories” and I can’t explain it. I can’t even explain why I can’t take my eyes off the screen as the good-hearted landscaper fixes the old ladies’ overgrown yard, trimming back every weed and perfectly clearing the sidewalks and driveway. But this story said, “Seven words dogsContinue reading “Clickbait”
The Days of our Lives
Just like its namesake, the soap opera that is the United States of America goes on like sands through the hourglass… I was saddened by the loss of Gene Hackman; I bet he would have been a pretty cool guy to have a couple of shots and beers with. When I saw the initial reportContinue reading “The Days of our Lives”
Welcome to America
Now go home. Now it is Native Americans who fear getting caught in the new aggressive ICE policies. That’s right; the people that were originally here, and whose land we stole, are worried about being thrown out of their stolen country. They should be. It’s not gonna end there; once the criminal and unsavory areContinue reading “Welcome to America”
