We waited all year for it and here we are. The day that we celebrate, as a nation, our independence from tyranny, oppression, and ignorance. I would say we’re at two-for-three so far. July 4th used to mean hamburgers, hot dogs, and homemade ice cream. And fireworks. Now, it has changed to Wimbledon tennis, golf,Continue reading “Independence Day”

The Colors of Our Lives
How boring this world would be if it were monochromatic. The Republicans would like everything red. The Democrats want everything blue. How boring a world with no other colors, no other voices, no other viewpoints. I think there are too many people being let into this country. There I said it. We need to stop,Continue reading “The Colors of Our Lives”
WTF?
As soulmate to a strong woman, I am deeply offended at anything that offends her. To characterize the recent overturn of Roe v Wade as offensive is offensive to the word offensive. (see what I did there?) You can make lists ‘til the cows come home, but I just want the names of all ofContinue reading “WTF?”
I Try
To quote Billy Jack, iconic badass from the 70’s. When I see a story about a cow actually being arrested and imprisoned for murder, I try and accept that sometimes news stories are about crime, politics, sports, and sometimes it is about arresting and imprisoning animals. Granted, it is in South Sudan, but come on.Continue reading “I Try”
Miracles
You either believe in them or you don’t. I believe in them. There some clinical people who need a scientific explanation for everything. They must quantify everything they see. I don’t get it. There does NOT have to be a reason for something. I am definitely not proposing that we just throw our hands upContinue reading “Miracles”
It’s Over
Finally, the interminable English Premier League football season has concluded. In what was the worst-ever season for United, they only managed to be gifted the sixth-place finish which qualifies them for entry into the Europa League as their only international football. United need a complete overhaul. Here are my thoughts on next season’s Red Devils:Continue reading “It’s Over”
Balls
Now, we’ll be going over several notable examples on this subject in this blog. Now there are baseballs, all other athletic sports’ balls, and then there are the balls it takes to stand in the face of certain death and tell a certain Russian warship commander exactly what he could do to himself as aContinue reading “Balls”
Bound and Determined
What the hell kind of expression is that? “Bound and determined”. What? You are tied up, but determined to free yourself? Lame. “Come hell or high water.” Who came up with that? Someone in a flood zone most likely. I still don’t get it. You are going to do something whether you face the firesContinue reading “Bound and Determined”
Small Potatoes
Don’t get me wrong. I am a big first amendment guy and of course I believe in free speech. For every voice on the planet, but somebody PLEASE stick a sock in the misguided mouth of Marjorie Greene. Turn the page. Challenge all the amendments you want. You are ineligible for re-election. Get over yourself.Continue reading “Small Potatoes”
Hanging Tough
It took Adolf Hitler twenty-six days to force Poland to surrender. It has been twenty-one and counting for Ukraine and BabyHead Putin. When I grow up, I want to be a rich Ukrainian. Living in America. I think there are too many TV and movie options thanks to all the streaming services who not onlyContinue reading “Hanging Tough”
