Not only an ass-kicking song by Semisonic, but an always-approaching time for us all. The end game. Departure. So why do we waste so much of the precious time we have been allotted on useless horseshit like hatred and fear? And supposedly, we are the most intelligent life form on Earth. Maybe not. AI foundContinue reading “Closing Time”

Dice
I went to the Four Queens downtown one early morning and there were five people at the crap table: the stickman, and a couple dealers and two players. I was enthralled at the action at craps tables and it drew me like a mosquito to light, so I told one of the dealers that IContinue reading “Dice”
The Best is Yet to Come…
It has to be. Let’s face it; the country is divided, the world is divided and we will never reconcile our differences. If we just use those parameters as the starting point, at least the lack of progress won’t seem as intolerable. DeSantis dropped out of the presidential race? I guess when his own partyContinue reading “The Best is Yet to Come…”
Worlds Apart
As the rise of antisemitism spreads throughout The Greatest Country on Earth (pardon me while I have a good belly laugh), our progress as a civilization appears to have hit one of the buried Ukrainian landmines (Hey remember that war? It’s still going on!). We are in a downward spiral, and it is not hardContinue reading “Worlds Apart”
Of All the Ways…
Mass killing. Guns. Knives. Bombs. Virus. Mosquitoes. Mosquitoes? There are forty-three less hikers in Colorado alone this year that would LOVE to beg to differ, but they can’t. They’re dead. Done in by mosquitoes. In 1966, under the summer lights of our Little League baseball games, I would stand in center field where the brightestContinue reading “Of All the Ways…”
Stick to What You Know
The Wall Street Journal, that venerable financial tool, is reporting that the Israeli military is having to enter densely-populated urban areas in their war effort. Genius. I am sure if the Hamas murderers were out in the desert somewhere, the headline would change. What a bunch of pencil-necked numbers crunchers. You won’t see any ofContinue reading “Stick to What You Know”
Who Cares?
As I approach the last fifteen years of my life, I can not only see my own ticket being punched, but I will leave with a hope for the future of all species. I remember being so caught up in idealism and truth that it led me to pursue pre-law in my first college experience.Continue reading “Who Cares?”
What’s Next?
Artificial Intelligence. Although if you queried the Domestic Despot, she would offer that she has been living with artificial intelligence since we moved in together into a tiny studio apartment in the foothills of Santa Barbara in 1986. What I want to know is why, all of a sudden, are we inundated with idiot politiciansContinue reading “What’s Next?”
Still Not Ready
I predicted it before the misguided advertising campaign of Anheuser-Busch which has led to the death of Bud Light. In the haste to be open, inclusive, and in an effort to improve the species, SOME true believers are swaying others with much less conviction, to confront, and more importantly, accept concepts they do not completelyContinue reading “Still Not Ready”
Initials
We call everything by it’s initials since we are a very lazy society in general. In recent news, SBF was denied bail in NYC for his role in FTX and his fucking over people to the tune of billions of dollars. I bet if you made him turn his hands over, you wouldn’t find aContinue reading “Initials”
