Our high schoolers are continuing the slide down the educational ladder, as their scores drop to a new low. Who needs silly old education anyway? People keep reporting Trump is dead, but really, he just looks that way. Newsweek is reporting Gen Z is experiencing “a drop in life satisfaction.” Darn. I was hoping toContinue reading “Afterthoughts II”

In a Pig’s Eye
Where did that expression come from? I’ll bet it was someone who lived in a rural setting. Pure genius is what that is. In the latest “It will never happen to us” situation: It happened. ICE agent or not, if you, or any member of your family is in this country illegally, you will beContinue reading “In a Pig’s Eye”
Like I Never Left
Back to viewing the world through my highly-distorted lens macabre. Man, what a world we live in. And nobody makes it out alive… Watching the great tennis on display at the U.S. Open is one of my favorite sporting events of the year. In the heat of battle, after losing to fleshy American Taylor Townsend,Continue reading “Like I Never Left”
Pardon the Interruption
Those funny little TikTok challenges are funny alright—until they are not. Three teens are lucky they were not killed when they rang the wrong doorbell in Texas, but it could be Anywhere, U.S.A. It’s not the same world, so you can’t act the same. But it IS Texas and you just don’t go trying homeContinue reading “Pardon the Interruption”
Always the Last to Know
John Cena had a good run. But like all good things… Now that he is hand-stitching his hair to his scalp, it’s time to call it a day, Champ. He says his body is screaming at him to retire. I hope he listens to it. Every so often Florida screws up and does something right…Continue reading “Always the Last to Know”
Tennessee
I have a great affinity for the state, as I spent a summer in Lebanon, just forty miles west of Nashville, training to be a Cracker Barrel manager. I fell in love with the miles of greenery, very unlike Phoenix, Arizona where I joined the company. Great golf and awesome fishing are two takeaways fromContinue reading “Tennessee”
You Can’t Make This Stuff Up
China is scrambling because their population is not increasing, in fact, it is dropping to close to WWII levels because women just aren’t choosing to have children like they used to. Might as well be Americans, because we aren’t having children like we used to either. The institution of marriage which my generation held soContinue reading “You Can’t Make This Stuff Up”
I Told You So
I almost hate being right all of the time. Almost. Mighty Harvard, those wacky Crimson, cost themselves hundreds of millions of dollars in government grants by having the unmitigated gall to stand up for equality, free speech, the Constitution, and other silly passe concepts. The message they have sent across the nation and the entireContinue reading “I Told You So”
A Puncher’s Chance
I saw a clip of Queen Maxima (now THAT is a badass Queen’s name!) of Netherlands doing her best Donald Trump impersonation and what was hilarious is that she does a better DJT than he does. Being a former French chef, I find the topic of celebrity chefs to be a totally American contrivance, fueledContinue reading “A Puncher’s Chance”
Documentaries
I started about a year or so ago when they were going through the writer’s strike in Hollywood. If you never believed in the power of the written word, never was its absence more felt than in the film industry. Not as easy as you thought? Just get a couple stars, some cool cars, explosions,Continue reading “Documentaries”
