So we have plenty of news. I guess flying under the radar is the fact that we are bombing Iran’s nuclear facilities. Now I understand that kind of frivolity if you are 98 years old and dying by the minute, and you are fine with calling it a day. But for the rest of us,Continue reading “No News is Good News”

Move Along
Nothing to see here. Except maybe Steph Curry doing things that only he can as the Golden State Warriors go into Houston and take down the scrappy Rockets in game seven of their Western Conference playoff series. Or Caitlin Clark launching (nothing but net) logo three-pointers as thousands of little girls watch on. I absolutelyContinue reading “Move Along”
Be Very Careful
I guess “Oops, sorry” isn’t cutting it. Neither are sayings like “if you want to make an omelet, you have to break a few eggs.” For illegally deported citizen Ilmar Garcia, it certainly doesn’t do it. Just don’t ask White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, one of the president’s Killer Blonde Squad. She’ll quote youContinue reading “Be Very Careful”
Just Another Brick in the Wall
We have spent all those millions of dollars constructing the wall on our southern border and now, it seems, there is no need for further construction. The answer was under our noses the entire time. Just make this country even more unlivable, miserable and dangerous for immigrants than it is in their own country andContinue reading “Just Another Brick in the Wall”
The Hits Just Keep on Coming
Just when I thought I’d heard it all, I read about a guy in South Carolina who is trying to avoid justice by claiming he is a “sovereign citizen” and therefore not answerable to any court of law in the United States. Well, he is somewhat answerable. He’s been sitting on Death Row and theyContinue reading “The Hits Just Keep on Coming”
Pride
Normal pride is good, healthy even. It is only when it traverses the boundaries of decency into the realm of hubris and arrogance that it is counter-productive. Cry all you want about the economy and the active and impending tariffs, but one good thing to come out of it (well, two actually). 1) people areContinue reading “Pride”
That’s More Like It
A sixty-five year old American dumbass thought he’d be cute and carve his name into a sacred Japanese temple pillar. I hope they give the idiot the maximum three years in prison to think about what a dumbass he is. You can’t win ‘em all, Disney. Mixed in with your mega box office hits areContinue reading “That’s More Like It”
Here it Comes…
Since I am a big fan of survival movies, I was flicking through the film selections on the tube and I saw a movie from 2015 which was simply titled Everest. I was a huge fan of Vertical Limit so I figured I would check this movie out. It wasn’t bad and I would readilyContinue reading “Here it Comes…”
Hear Me Now
Believe me later. My paean to Hanz and Franz and the Saturday Night Live’s fiftieth anniversary. I’m not one of those old fuddy-duddies who dwell in the past and say that the first few seasons of SNL had the best and funniest ensemble casts ever (although they did). I mean, there have been funny peopleContinue reading “Hear Me Now”
Clickbait
I click on way too many of these “stories” and I can’t explain it. I can’t even explain why I can’t take my eyes off the screen as the good-hearted landscaper fixes the old ladies’ overgrown yard, trimming back every weed and perfectly clearing the sidewalks and driveway. But this story said, “Seven words dogsContinue reading “Clickbait”
