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”
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!”
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”
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”
If I’ve Told You Once…
Hey Meta! Hey dumbass! STFU and quit having an artificial entity run your life. Think for yourself! It’s tough enough living in America today, but can you imagine how nice it must be to be an American citizen in Venezuela right now? Talk about persona non grata. The whole transgenders-in-sports debate is back in theContinue reading “If I’ve Told You Once…”
Hold Your Nose
The Department of Homeland Security has found that their version of what happened in the shooting of Renee Nicole Good, murdered in Minnesota, was met with a firestorm of scorn, ridicule and doubt so they did what anyone would do. They changed their story. There you go now. All better. Except for Cuba. It’s lookingContinue reading “Hold Your Nose”
Don’t Blink
There are ways of departing this sphere of existence and then there is getting buried under a landslide of mud, debris, and garbage at a landfill in Manilla, Philippines. We don’t choose how or when. HE does. So tragic. The U.S. just seized the fifth oil tanker linked to Venezuela. One more and I willContinue reading “Don’t Blink”
Playing Dirty
I have previously chronicled the beginning and end of my big-time criminal career in a post from several years ago titled The Great Classroom Caper of 1962 and I can (and have) ranted about how much I hate thieves. There is something so primal about taking something that doesn’t belong to you, and I thinkContinue reading “Playing Dirty”
Here Today, Here Tomorrow
The president has proposed term limits for politicians: Six years for House of Representatives. Twelve years for Senators. He mentioned ‘nary a word on term limits for the presidency… Lane Kiffin, highly regarded as an offensive strategist in college football, has also sown his seeds of discontent. Just ask USC. Tennessee. Mississippi. Is LSU hisContinue reading “Here Today, Here Tomorrow”
