Playoffs?! Playoffs?! Playoffs?!!! Yes, they are inching closer… Excruciatingly slow for college football fans and even more slowly if your team or teams is/are still in contention for one of the coveted 12 available spots. There are very few certainties anymore in the college football world where champions are bought and sold like prized cattleContinue reading “Playoffs?”

Through the Microscope…
The Associated Press, that trusted paragon of journalistic excellence, says that the president has stated “Japan will invest 550 billion dollars in the U.S.” at his direction. “Investing.” That’s a nicer word than say “ransom.” This money is being paid to reduce the recently-imposed tariffs placed on the Chinese, and now that they have madeContinue reading “Through the Microscope…”
Do Not Enter
We are now “allowing” people to visit this ailing country of ours and entry demands a 250.00 cover charge. Enter at your own risk. Nine children die after drowning because of a design error on a half-million above-ground pools. NOW they decide to do something about it? Why wait until nine children leave this sphereContinue reading “Do Not Enter”
My Take
At a White House dinner for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, our very own CIA Director John Ratcliffe was observed by the media as “acting strangely.” He stared blankly at his empty plate and seemed to be in another world completely. His mood oscillated between smiling laughter to confusion. Now you can say what youContinue reading “My Take”
Pearls of Wisdom
Some dumbass Egyptian should be thanking his lucky stars because he kicked a police service dog at an airport and all they did was send his stupid ass back to Egypt. Try kicking one of my dogs… The Latino community in Florida who voted for Trump feel “betrayed” by the president’s immigration policy and deportationContinue reading “Pearls of Wisdom”
Pride
Normal pride is good, healthy even. It is only when it traverses the boundaries of decency into the realm of hubris and arrogance that it is counter-productive. Cry all you want about the economy and the active and impending tariffs, but one good thing to come out of it (well, two actually). 1) people areContinue reading “Pride”
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”
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”
Where Do I Start?
Of course, I’ll begin with the hapless comedy of errors which is what my beloved Manchester United Red Devils have become. I still don’t get it. This team’s storied offense is now not one bit offensive. After having overpaid to attract mid-tier level talent, the team is paying for it now. It looks like everyContinue reading “Where Do I Start?”
Relax
The point spread for the college football national championship game between the infidels from Ohio State vs. God’s chosen gladiators of the gridiron, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, has been posted. You can tell I’m impartial. Nine and a half points. So all the gambling “experts” have stated that the Buckeyes will easily defeat theContinue reading “Relax”
