Just when I thought I’d seen it all, the Mattel toy company giant comes out with a “Type 1 diabetic Barbie.” So does this mark the official “acceptance” that with all the money and resources available to the world’s medical professionals, that they are giving up completely on finding a cure? As evidenced by theirContinue reading “A New Low”

If This Don’t Beat All
Some douchebag gets in his car and mows down 23 people in East Hollywood, CA. When things like this happen, I always wonder what reason could they possibly have to commit such a crime? At least he has a good reason this time. He got thrown out of a club, got his ass whipped, andContinue reading “If This Don’t Beat All”
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”

Table Scraps
Iran just made another nuclear threat. Ho-hum. The new Ayatollah of Rock-n-rolla Khamenei says “something big” will happen in retaliation for another U.S. or Israeli strike against his country. I remember the days when we would instantly laugh and discount such threats as empty, but not after 9/11. That bald little lawn gnome Putin threwContinue reading “Table Scraps”

Although I was fortunate enough to work for owners with very deep pockets, I would never put atContinue reading “All Hands on Deck”
There Are No Words
To describe the disdain and condemnation I feel for child or animal abusers. I view them the same. That is why not one red cent of any lottery winnings I might ever win would end up in human charities. In my book EMOTIONS: Not your Mama’s ABC’s, under the emotion Affable, I quote a fictionalContinue reading “There Are No Words”
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”
