A Puncher’s Chance

I saw a clip of Queen Maxima (now THAT is a badass Queen’s name!) of Netherlands doing her best Donald Trump impersonation and what was hilarious is that she does a better DJT than he does. Being a former French chef, I find the topic of celebrity chefs to be a totally American contrivance, fueledContinue reading “A Puncher’s Chance”

Do Not Enter

We are now “allowing” people to visit this ailing country of ours and entry demands a 250.00 cover charge. Enter at your own risk. Nine children die after drowning because of a design error on a half-million above-ground pools. NOW they decide to do something about it? Why wait until nine children leave this sphereContinue reading “Do Not Enter”

Stay With Me

The tiny monarchy of Sweida, formerly known as Swaziland, is located near the southern Syrian border. Not your typical garden spot and not only that, but reports describe “extrajudicial killings, torture, abductions, and looting—pointing to a broader pattern of targeted abuses.” Perfect. Now we know where we can reach our next batch of deportees. HeContinue reading “Stay With Me”

The Latest Buzz

That bald little lawn gnome Vladimir Putin keeps making the president mad, and every time he does, off goes another shipment of weapons and other objects of death to Ukraine, so I might just be an old country boy, but I think Putin was incorrect saying Russia would end the war “in three weeks.” Don’tContinue reading “The Latest Buzz”

I’ll Take Mine Rare

“Experts” warn of a dangerous shift in societal norms. Experts? If you are so expert, why are you just now noticing this “dangerous shift?” Hell, it’s been going on since 1/6/2024. Or are you too “expert” to notice? Douchebags. Watching Italian Janik Sinner whip Carlos Alcaraz in the Wimbledon’s Men’s Singles Tennis Championship was aContinue reading “I’ll Take Mine Rare”

All Hands on Deck

The owner of a restaurant is being forced to pay over three million dollars to a Sous Chef for the torment and physical abuse he suffered under the restaurant’s Executive Chef for two and a half years. Although I was fortunate enough to work for owners with very deep pockets, I would never put atContinue reading “All Hands on Deck”

Grab Your Ankles

Showing they are indeed the Beverly Hillbillies of the world, those wacky French want to swim in the sewer that is, and always has been since the French Industrial Revolution, the Seine River. They ended up opening the river for public swimming on Saturday and shut it back down in exactly ONE day. Oops toContinue reading “Grab Your Ankles”

Ripped From the Headlines

A tourist fell into an active volcano when she lost her footing. The initial autopsy ruled she succumbed to her injuries, bleeding out in about twenty minutes. Twenty minutes. Think of that: you have broken your arms and legs which are bleeding and you helplessly slowly bleed out as a toxic cloud floats overhead. AddContinue reading “Ripped From the Headlines”

Another Day in the Life

Happy 4th of July. Now you are dead. In your teens. Mass shootings in Indianapolis and Chicago are just a few of the ways we Americans like to celebrate our Day of Independence. Alligator Alcatraz. I understand the logic. Take your chances with the crocodiles and pythons or get your skin bleached, dress up likeContinue reading “Another Day in the Life”

Brace Yourself

The Russian head of the Ministry of Oil has “fallen out of a window” (oops!) as have many people who found themselves in disfavor with none other than that little bald lawn gnome Putin. Oh yeah. He left a suicide note. Right. Talk about blowing my mind… France is placing a ban on smoking inContinue reading “Brace Yourself”
