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”
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”
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”
Hold My Beer
Well I guess the question of just how the American MLS (Major League Soccer) stacks up against world-class competition has been answered. Sorry, Sir David. It doesn’t. Not by a long shot. Paris Saint Germain made them look like a high school team. Not even the great magic of Lionel Messi or the power ofContinue reading “Hold My Beer”
Huddle Up
So the whole transgender issue found its way to the Supreme Court (tongue-in-cheek) and they voted against the plaintiffs. There should be zero debate about health care for transgenders. It is an elective surgery and any and all medications pertaining to it are also elective which means they should not be covered by insurance. Boom!Continue reading “Huddle Up”

Seriously, Folks
That’s It!
To quote the great navigator Popeye, “That’s all I can stands, I can’t stands no more!” Ruben Amorim must go. Manchester United looked like a bunch of aimless idiots against Tottenham, a team that has somehow managed less points than the Red Devils in the Premier League. If the league season were a few matchesContinue reading “That’s It!”
