Even my buddies the British don’t believe in any of the old royal concepts as they relate to the human condition in the 21st century. Not anymore. They have cell phones. Ordained? By whom? A God that nobody can agree on? And while all the attention has been focused on our horny old president, theContinue reading “Royal Misconceptions”

Age is Just a Number
One of the Dumbass Doctors—Phil or Oz (I can’t remember which) has posited that with the age expectancy climbing, the first person who will reach 200 years of age in their lifetime has already been born. Can you friggin’ even imagine being two-hundred? If you are young, of course not. Hell, you probably can’t evenContinue reading “Age is Just a Number”
Belief
Never underestimate the power of belief. Belief can overcome a lot of things. It can overpower strength. It can outrun speed. It can outperform talent. In the micro it is but a flash in the thought process, but in the macro, it divides, conquers, and kills. Religions are based on belief. Governments are based onContinue reading “Belief”
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!”
If Worse Comes to Worst
There are those that will tell you it already has, but let’s take a closer look at the “worst-case scenario” with our current “leadership” in charge. Total planetary annihilation. Oops. Bad idea. I don’t wanna be your buzzkill today. That would make for a very short blog post anyway. So, it takes a change inContinue reading “If Worse Comes to Worst”
They Said it Couldn’t be Done
I am certainly not trying to jinx anything, but there is now a small flame of hope burning in Old Trafford. Just a couple matches into Michael Carrick’s interim caretaker manager audition for the Manchester United Red Devils and at long last, I sense a renewed excitement on the pitch and in the team afterContinue reading “They Said it Couldn’t be Done”
Making the Best of It
Easy does it there. The president is threatening to deport naturalized citizens suspected of fraud. Maybe he should open his mail… If he left the country because of his fraud convictions, what would it be called? An abdication? It had to happen. The devaluation of a college education is the direct result of the greedContinue reading “Making the Best of It”
They Went That-a-Way!
That whacky Ayatollah is at it again. He has killed 16,500 Iranian protesters (so far) and injured another 330,000. Did you hear that? Those are real WAR numbers, not just ending a few protests. So, the Big Dogg committed mortgage fraud. BFD. Nobody gives a shit anymore. They’ve already accepted the fact he’s crooked asContinue reading “They Went That-a-Way!”
Don’t Be a Buzzkill
Great, we can now see crystal-clear images of the icy mountains on Mars. Who gives a rat’s ass? So where is Malaysian airliner MH370? Or the two-hundred-thirty-nine souls on board? So, if all the billionaires in the world are building doomsday survival shelters, what if the Big One actually happens and the only survivors areContinue reading “Don’t Be a Buzzkill”
Keep it Coming
A Physician’s Assistant in Atlanta was asked to leave a women’s basketball game and she refused. That could have been the end of a very short story until… The woman (dumbass) refuses to leave the premises until police are called in for criminal trespass. She offers her captors a bribe. She increases the offer. TheyContinue reading “Keep it Coming”
