If only it were that simple. Not quite the Boston Tea Party, but it’s a start. Some anti-ICE protesters took over a hotel lobby in New York City to protest their housing of federal ICE agents. I’m sure the student working part-time on the reservation desk didn’t make the policy. Or the night maintenance guy.Continue reading “Presto! Change-o!”

Gotcha!
The dumbass who burned down Pacific Palisades, California was arrested near his Orlando, Florida home. Unlike most fires there is an actual name we can point to and say, “this person is solely responsible for the fire and the ensuing damage.” Thanks for visiting California, Jonathan. It will be harder to burn anywhere else downContinue reading “Gotcha!”
Funny Bone
Why all the hate between late-night talk show hosts and the president and his policies and tactics? It used to be, not that long ago, that comics joked and made wisecracks, we laughed, thought how clever, and moved on. What happened to that? These are just highly paid entertainers that started amusing us starting inContinue reading “Funny Bone”
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”
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…”
Step up to the Plate
Am I good or what? As soon as I posted the blueprint for Columbia University to reacquire some funding that was being withheld from them…..Presto! All of a sudden they get 221 million dollars. You know you would have gotten more if you just shut your trap and kissed the president’s ass in the firstContinue reading “Step up to the Plate”
Teamwork
Our man DJT has turned his attention to one of the world’s greatest problems and a real threat to global annihilation. He has signed a bill to ban male athletes that are genetically altered from participating in girls and women’s sports. This is a subject I dare not broach with my wife, the Domestic Despot,Continue reading “Teamwork”
Hold On!
Every time I turn around, Trump has signed another bill or made another proposal, or has even reached out to everybody and his brother for a conference. WTF? He didn’t do this much in the entire four years of his first presidency. I want to think that is a good thing, but part of meContinue reading “Hold On!”
One Summer in Japan
Or just, the neighborhood, which is what we knew it as. We were living on Showa Air Force Base in the early sixties and this shorty is about our neighborhood there. Everybody knew everyone who lived in the neighborhood and recognized everyone’s’ kids on the street and outside playing in groups. Remember that? Playing outside?Continue reading “One Summer in Japan”
Riding it Out
The doctor has me in the wait-and-see mode on my leg, and unless it improves, I still think an above-the-knee surgery is imminent. So I’m riding it out. But I will NOT ride it out if it becomes necessary to further cut my leg and they want me to stay longer post-surgery and give meContinue reading “Riding it Out”
