Misery Loves Company

I don’t think so. I know in the very few times I actually felt miserable, the last thing I wanted was company. I pulled a Marlene Dietrich, not wanting any healthy reminders of my human frailty on display for anyone. It is what is keeping me from gigging out in bars and breweries in spiteContinue reading “Misery Loves Company”

Around the Bend

So you can teach an old dog… Texas governor Greg Abbott has put the brakes on over 1800 new data centers proposed for his state and trump and his butt buddy Elon “Musky Muskrat” Musk can’t be very happy about it. Every story about the fiasco that is the Russian-Ukrainian war begins with “Putin humiliatedContinue reading “Around the Bend”

From Where I Sit

Homophobia and xenophobia have been the drivers of this administration, so as they approach the midterm elections, what else can the Republicans put their “special touch” to? I know. Muslims. It is in that spirit that I offer up one of the short stories from my book EMOTIONS: Not your Mama’s ABC’s!. The story isContinue reading “From Where I Sit”

I Promise

Two words I don’t say very often at all, but if and when I do, it’s a done deal. I don’t break promises because I rarely give them. I don’t know exactly how, when, or why it became so important a concept to me that I personally consider very few things more egregious than breakingContinue reading “I Promise”

Sports Revisited

It was nice to see Mauricio Pochettino given a new four-year contract to coach the United States Men’s national soccer (football) team. It is my opinion that he was the coach who did the most with what he had to work with in spite of getting thoroughly ass-whipped by those wacky Belgians. But you areContinue reading “Sports Revisited”

Resistance is Futile

Our court jester of a Vice President JD Vance was remarking on how another world leader was going about his business. This is like a one-legged seventy-two-year-old man with a 5-inch vertical leap, say, me for example, giving Victor Webanyama advice on how to dunk a basketball. STFU. Now I am going to say somethingContinue reading “Resistance is Futile”

Avast Ye Swabs!

In a rather swashbuckling mood on this bright sunny southern Ohio day, let’s take a look at what’s happening on this planet… That horse’s ass Secretary of Defense Pedro Hegseth, keeping with this administration’s policy of hatred for women and non-whites, has reshuffled the deck to better reflect his worldview. He has denied promotions toContinue reading “Avast Ye Swabs!”

Come Again?

Nice work if you can get it… USA Today reports Forty million-dollars in gold bars was recovered from an ex-CIA agent’s house in Virginia. Somebody make sure to wake the president to tell him when the whole Iran Fiasco blows over. I love those Netflix documentaries like Crash, the story of Mackenzie Shurila, a fame-seekingContinue reading “Come Again?”

Jump in, the Water’s Fine.

Lurch, aka John Fetterman, squawks about everything else the republicans do, but he was (is) conspicuously silent on the president’s acceptance of 400 million dollars’ worth of Japanese steel for his unwanted renovations to the White House Ballroom. This on the heels of his promise to U.S. steel manufacturers to help their ailing industry. AllContinue reading “Jump in, the Water’s Fine.”

Whaaat?

There are some people you can pick on, and then there are others you shouldn’t. Picking on politicians is easy. And fun. I crack me up sometimes. Entertainers, the wealthy, the criminals and sell-outs of all shapes and sizes who had better be hoping that there really is NOT a place you go to whereContinue reading “Whaaat?”
