Stick to What You Know

The Wall Street Journal, that venerable financial tool, is reporting that the Israeli military is having to enter densely-populated urban areas in their war effort. Genius. I am sure if the Hamas murderers were out in the desert somewhere, the headline would change. What a bunch of pencil-necked numbers crunchers. You won’t see any ofContinue reading “Stick to What You Know”

Down, But Not Out

I wasn’t feeling bad at all, having played an hour-long set at a new bar that wants to attract new patrons. My dinner consisted of a 4 oz piece of T-bone steak and exactly 10 Tater Tots (yes I counted them). I was sick as a dog on Friday night and I thought I wasContinue reading “Down, But Not Out”

Innocence Lost

When I was a young man, I carried the mindset of a wide-eyed child, marveling at everything this amazing world has to offer. I was always treated well no matter which country I was in, so I thought nice, welcoming people were the norm. Right. Three thieves break into a house. One injured and arrested.Continue reading “Innocence Lost”

Never in a Million Years

Marjorie Taylor Greene is right. There are only two genders. Everything else is a contrivance. There are many derivatives, identifications, and permutations, but there is male and female. Eso es. But that being said, everything else that spills out of her diseased mind is horseshit. So United Airlines is seating window-seat passengers and it hasContinue reading “Never in a Million Years”

The Definition of Insanity

Another mass shooting. Another prayer vigil. We’re up to two a day, for those of you keeping score. Now I can see the tension between political ideologies because it has been the American Way of Life since I was born. And I’m old now. But when did mere disagreement manifest into something evil? Disagree? “HangContinue reading “The Definition of Insanity”

Finally!

They had to take over twenty total elections to do it, but the Republicans finally have the right election-denying, white racist in place. Is Louisiana even still considered part of the United States? The look on the ex-presidents’ face as another fine of ten-thousand dollars was assessed.. Not because he doesn’t have the money, butContinue reading “Finally!”

Learn Something New Everyday

That is what we all do, until we expire. At least some people do. Some people never learn. Tourons. Tourist morons. A word which greatly reduces the length of my personal description of these fools, which is stupid-dumbass-losers-from-loser-parents-and loser-grandparents-and-whom-I-hope-suffer-a-slow-humiliating-and-excruciating-death. But that’s just me. The US has asked the Israelis not to respond with rage asContinue reading “Learn Something New Everyday”

It’s Not Like it Used to Be

Nothing is. Nor should it be. I say that wistfully, after getting a glimpse of the upcoming Derby Day clash between my beloved Manchester United Red Devils and the powder blue faggots from Manchester City. I am a lot of things, but I am not stupid. If I was still a betting man, I wouldContinue reading “It’s Not Like it Used to Be”

The Princess of Las Vegas

In my tumultuous wild ride in Sin City, a brief, but colorful segment was occupied working as a waiter in a high-end casino restaurant on the world-famous Strip. Talk about characters. Comps were everywhere, as I am sure they are today. (author’s note: I have not been back to Vegas since I left in 1981)Continue reading “The Princess of Las Vegas”

It’s Better to Burn Out…

Sing it Neil. I’m approaching having spent seven full decades of time on this planet, so it seems like every couple of years one of my life influences/heroes are leaving this sphere of existence. It used to be every decade or so, but lately that time gap is shortening. The more things change… Another MiddleContinue reading “It’s Better to Burn Out…”
