At a White House dinner for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, our very own CIA Director John Ratcliffe was observed by the media as “acting strangely.” He stared blankly at his empty plate and seemed to be in another world completely. His mood oscillated between smiling laughter to confusion. Now you can say what youContinue reading “My Take”

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”
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”
Did That Happen?
A man jumped into the ocean to save his daughter who had fallen overboard. Of course the dumbasses in the press want a story, so they throw around negligence and failure to adequately supervise and protect their child while onboard, but that doesn’t make the father’s actions any less heroic. That takes balls, yes, butContinue reading “Did That Happen?”
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”

Wouldn’t Ya Know?
The story started by saying (in 1874 mind you) a man was convicted for eating his five companions to get through a brutal snowstorm. Come on. Just how long did this snowstorm last? And five? What the hell were the five doing? Waiting around to end up being dinner? Didn’t the others start to wonder?Continue reading “Wouldn’t Ya Know?”
Ouch!
It was tough watching Indiana Pacer Tyrese Haliburton go down with a severed Achilles tendon last night in the seventh game of the NBA Finals. I can totally relate (to the injury, not the skill level) because the exact same thing happened to me back in 1982. I was opening up a large family restaurantContinue reading “Ouch!”
They Did it Again
The American people are amazing. Just when my faith in us was starting to wane, they absolutely humiliate the Republicans and their Man Who Would Be King. Think about it. From all the pictures I saw, it looked like there were many more people IN the parade than actually bothered to show up for it.Continue reading “They Did it Again”
