Ford Motor Company recently closed a production facility due to “shortages” of key components. With the past 25% tariff being thrown out the window, I highly doubt the new replacement 67% tariff is going to stir China to give us all the semiconductors and rare earth minerals that we need. Both are necessary and crucialContinue reading “Run to the Light”

A New Low
Just when I thought I’d seen it all, the Mattel toy company giant comes out with a “Type 1 diabetic Barbie.” So does this mark the official “acceptance” that with all the money and resources available to the world’s medical professionals, that they are giving up completely on finding a cure? As evidenced by theirContinue reading “A New Low”

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”
The Changing of the Guard
So to speak. Everywhere you look, there are new faces replacing the, er, mature ones. Of course, there are still a few stubborn Union cocktail waitresses working in Vegas. As our sports heroes eventually age out, newer and even better, players are born and raised. In the tennis arena, the newest rivalry (what sport canContinue reading “The Changing of the Guard”

I would have started at age six, but I was caught trying to forge my parents’ signatures on theContinue reading “Without Fail”
Teamwork
Our man DJT has turned his attention to one of the world’s greatest problems and a real threat to global annihilation. He has signed a bill to ban male athletes that are genetically altered from participating in girls and women’s sports. This is a subject I dare not broach with my wife, the Domestic Despot,Continue reading “Teamwork”
Glory United!
Of course I had to lead off with that. Manchester United 2 Manchester City 1. With as much crap I tend to pile on the squad for a lack of fire in their play, it seems that new manager Ruben Amorim has lit a fire under the lads. I was one who pointed out theContinue reading “Glory United!”
Moving Forward
I made time to block out more of my novel, If Only, and in order to do a serviceable job on the subject of a world where females are the dominant gender, I have to start by breaking down the differences between us. Firstly, I had to address the very issue of gender identification. HowContinue reading “Moving Forward”
Jolly Old
I retain fond memories of my time in Europe, particularly in the midlands of England, outside the city of Oxford. Housing for military at the small ex-RAF base Upper Heyford was at a premium, and my mom always insisted we did NOT live in base housing, rather, she preferred us to encounter our new hostContinue reading “Jolly Old”
