Venezuelans are still smiling today in the afterglow of their awesome victory over the United States in the World Baseball Classic. This game marks the second straight WBC where the USA was defeated in the championship game. That’s right. The Japanese did it last time with the best player on the planet, Japan’s Shohei OhtaniContinue reading “Can’t Win ‘em All”

G’day!
When members of the media get bored, they start picking on people and things just to fill word counts. Now, chubby little Selena Gomez is their target. So she has a cerveza-belly and a lot of cherubim fat on her body. Thunder thighs. Big deal. She’s in her thirties. Happens to all of us. It’sContinue reading “G’day!”
Cut Bait
Carnival Cruise Lines is upsetting a few of its passengers because there are so many people qualifying for perks that now, everyone gets perks, so no one is special anymore. Hope I don’t lose too much sleep over their “plight.” You know that geeky computer nerd Bill Gates is guilty of something amiss on EpsteinContinue reading “Cut Bait”
Gather ‘Round
The president invited a bunch of professional rodeo cowboys to the White House, and one thing is as clear as the Ponderosa sky… The Cowboy-in Chief looked like he needs to skip the chuckwagon. He’s looking like fifty pounds of manure in a twenty-five pound saddlebag. Astronomers confirm they have seen a laser beam fromContinue reading “Gather ‘Round”
Monkey Business
I like Charles Barkley. At 6’ 6” I used to marvel at how much space he could clear out in the paint as he swiped yet another rebound off the glass. Over taller and (much) taller players. He’s also a little bit of a clown, but I’m good with that; the world needs colorful peopleContinue reading “Monkey Business”
I’ll Bite
I know my paltry few hundred subscribers don’t seem like many until you get in a line that long for anything, but U.S. Representative Nancy Mace from South Carolina just came out the very next day after my blog proposing the same “one strike and you’re out” penalty as China has for raping a youngContinue reading “I’ll Bite”
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?”
Rack ‘em Up Again
You can already see stories, rumors, and the usual pile of guano warning of a possible draft to get people to fight in yet another unwanted, unnecessary war in We have to have a longer memory than that… The last time we stuck our noses where it didn’t belong, we got our asses whipped byContinue reading “Rack ‘em Up Again”
Come Again?
I think about five or six days ago I posted a warning about how the use of cyberwarfare might be part of Iran’s battle plans and now they are screwing around with our missile defense systems. Even an old piker like me knows that can’t be real good. I’ve heard that life imitates art andContinue reading “Come Again?”
What’s Good For the Goose…
In this era of big-time money in college athletics, there are several new millionaires populating the rosters, and not just the players. Coaches. Big Money. Kirby Smart at Georgia. Lane Kiffin at LSU. Lincoln Riley at USC. These are some of the biggest names in the profession and when successful, they generate hundreds of millionsContinue reading “What’s Good For the Goose…”
