What a great diplomat! The Iranian delegation, all except one, walked out of the United Nations General Assembly as president trump unloaded another load of international horseshit while the Strait of Hormuz remains closed. Wake me when it’s over. kyori o toru koto. Distancing. The art of maintaining physical and/or emotional separation. Byron Douglas, RepublicanContinue reading “Dive in Head First”

Never a Doubt
The temperature of the country was rising for the longest time and now is headed in the other direction, as a result of man’s (and woman’s) shortcomings and our inability to ‘play nice.’ From having a deranged MAGA following led by none other than Georgia’s own peach Marjorie Taylor Greene, er I mean Glenn (MTG),Continue reading “Never a Doubt”
The American Way?
Your team just won the most important game in their history. So what do you do? I know. Let’s set fire to cars and private property and endanger many people’s lives! Everyone does it. But why? You WON dumbass! I saw it firsthand on Fourth Avenue in Tucson, Arizona after the Wildcats won their onlyContinue reading “The American Way?”
Can’t Win ‘em All
Venezuelans are still smiling today in the afterglow of their awesome victory over the United States in the World Baseball Classic. This game marks the second straight WBC where the USA was defeated in the championship game. That’s right. The Japanese did it last time with the best player on the planet, Japan’s Shohei OhtaniContinue reading “Can’t Win ‘em All”
Presto! Change-o!
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”
