And Then Some

Evidently, you can mess with new head coach Bill Belichick’s North Carolina Tar Heel football team, but don’t think, for one second, that you can take on a North Carolina mother of eight. Mama don’t play… The little band of Italian thieves in Venice are lucky; if they would have pulled their little stunt inContinue reading “And Then Some”

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”

More Music

I had a surprisingly good response (s) from my first music post yesterday, so, keeping with that whole strike-while-the-iron’s-hot thing, I am following it up with three more songs in today’s post.. I was working as a French Executive Chef in the Midwest in the early ‘90’s and I had the occasion to run intoContinue reading “More Music”

The Devil You Say!

North Korea is “locking up” their nuclear arsenal since dialogue between Kim Jong-un and President Trump has stopped. What the hell does that even mean? The new Ayatollah of rock-n-rolla, the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei of Iran seems to be the only world leader who doesn’t have his head up his ass. He correctly identified theContinue reading “The Devil You Say!”

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”

A Good Time Had by All

Well, almost all. You campaigned for him. Defended his every action and word. You voted for him. You opened a restaurant which was not much more than a shrine to him. You posted his face all over the menu and restaurant and even produced a signature dish and called it the Trump Burger. And now,Continue reading “A Good Time Had by All”

Back to Basics

The California (where else?) Supreme Court has blocked the Republicans from stopping the Democrats from doing what Texas is doing and redistricting their state to suit their political needs. What say we stop fucking around and just get the inevitable civil war out of the way so the world can move on? With or withoutContinue reading “Back to Basics”

Mere Happenstance?

I think not. My man President Zelensky is set to meet in the oval Office and will be showing up looking very much like Oliver Twist. “Please, sir, may I have some more?” I can see him begging for the extra jets and other weapons of death as his benefactor makes life and death decisions.Continue reading “Mere Happenstance?”

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”
