Why all the hate between late-night talk show hosts and the president and his policies and tactics? It used to be, not that long ago, that comics joked and made wisecracks, we laughed, thought how clever, and moved on. What happened to that? These are just highly paid entertainers that started amusing us starting inContinue reading “Funny Bone”

Like I Never Left
Back to viewing the world through my highly-distorted lens macabre. Man, what a world we live in. And nobody makes it out alive… Watching the great tennis on display at the U.S. Open is one of my favorite sporting events of the year. In the heat of battle, after losing to fleshy American Taylor Townsend,Continue reading “Like I Never Left”
I Plead the Fourth
I’m back in sports heaven now that college football games and English Premier League football matches have resumed, so I continue my posting of songs I have recorded and/or written. I will resume writing in the more conventional way after Monday night’s TCU vs North Carolina game. Four straight days of music, this time allContinue reading “I Plead the Fourth”
Always the Last to Know
John Cena had a good run. But like all good things… Now that he is hand-stitching his hair to his scalp, it’s time to call it a day, Champ. He says his body is screaming at him to retire. I hope he listens to it. Every so often Florida screws up and does something right…Continue reading “Always the Last to Know”
Tennessee
I have a great affinity for the state, as I spent a summer in Lebanon, just forty miles west of Nashville, training to be a Cracker Barrel manager. I fell in love with the miles of greenery, very unlike Phoenix, Arizona where I joined the company. Great golf and awesome fishing are two takeaways fromContinue reading “Tennessee”
Welcome to the Jungle
It looks like we have run out of third-world countries to send our deportees to, so what to do? Not to worry. We will send them to the next best thing….Indiana. Remember when steroids used to be an everyday news story? I was never good, big, or fast enough of a football player to entertainContinue reading “Welcome to the Jungle”
I Told You So
I almost hate being right all of the time. Almost. Mighty Harvard, those wacky Crimson, cost themselves hundreds of millions of dollars in government grants by having the unmitigated gall to stand up for equality, free speech, the Constitution, and other silly passe concepts. The message they have sent across the nation and the entireContinue reading “I Told You So”
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”
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”
