The first amendment and all that. I have been banned from Facebook because of a story I previously published here on this blog. It was excerpted from my book EMOTIONS: Not your Mama’s ABC’s! Talk about small-minded. I tried to explain to the “Appeal Board” that my words were a creative work of fiction, butContinue reading “Freedom of Speech”

An End to the Madness
The worst-ever season in their Premier League history. Overpaid underperformers, over-the-hill players still making lineups based on past reputations, and third-rate talent is the result. Mismanagement. Is there just one coach to the players that can show them how to create offensive rhythm and hence more scoring opportunities? Have you seen the Manchester United offense?Continue reading “An End to the Madness”
Squatters
People that inhabit a property that they have no legal claim to do so. Big news when we hear of squatters and the legal frustrations involved trying to extricate them. Aren’t we all just another form of squatter? We are here, free to live and do whatever we want until another more powerful entity decidesContinue reading “Squatters”
Maybe It’s Time
As of today, we have had forty-five presidents lead our country. Zero women have held that office, and the failed campaign of Hillary Clinton saved us all from just another one of the good ‘ole boys dressed in a Brooks Brothers power suit. In our zeal to show a fake sense of inclusion, we actuallyContinue reading “Maybe It’s Time”
At Long Last
Ukraine has discovered that medical marijuana eases the pain and stress of the war. No shit. It eases whatever stress and pain I incur from reading about the war almost instantly. Especially if the THC count is in the thirties… Don’t look now, but the Ukrainians are losing their war (and country) back to theContinue reading “At Long Last”
Closing Time
Not only an ass-kicking song by Semisonic, but an always-approaching time for us all. The end game. Departure. So why do we waste so much of the precious time we have been allotted on useless horseshit like hatred and fear? And supposedly, we are the most intelligent life form on Earth. Maybe not. AI foundContinue reading “Closing Time”
Just the Facts
I mean there are two commentators at a basketball game. TWO. One of them goes on a nasty racist rage and the other one did not. When reporting this story, a newspaper mixed them up and reported the wrong reporter’s name as the guilty party. Boom. Twenty-five million. As much as I would hate toContinue reading “Just the Facts”
Dice
I went to the Four Queens downtown one early morning and there were five people at the crap table: the stickman, and a couple dealers and two players. I was enthralled at the action at craps tables and it drew me like a mosquito to light, so I told one of the dealers that IContinue reading “Dice”
Here We Go Again
In this dangerous world, our nation’s defense is Priority One. Or at least it should be. What do you do when you want to attract the best recruits possible to join our naval forces? Lower the standards, of course. The business sector has been doing it forever to attract workers who just don’t want toContinue reading “Here We Go Again”
Our Skill Set
We each have one that is just as unique to us as our fingerprints. We learn them, we inherit them, and we assimilate them our entire lives. Then our role is over and a new cast goes through the motions of mouthing the words and playing the parts as the show must go on. IContinue reading “Our Skill Set”
