I love competition. I love excellent performance in ANY field of endeavor. I look on with the same sense of awe and wonder at a Super Bowl trophy as I do a perfect 10.0 at a Women’s gymnastics meet. Or watching a master landscaper do their thing to a yard, leaving it and the worldContinue reading “The Skinny”

Ding! Ding!
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has to be able to see the “writing on the wall….” She’s next. Who else is there? And forget about the little incident where an unflattering picture of her was taken down when people mistook the wrinkly, weathered red neck of an actual turkey with her own. He dumpedContinue reading “Ding! Ding!”
Can’t Win ‘em All
Venezuelans are still smiling today in the afterglow of their awesome victory over the United States in the World Baseball Classic. This game marks the second straight WBC where the USA was defeated in the championship game. That’s right. The Japanese did it last time with the best player on the planet, Japan’s Shohei OhtaniContinue reading “Can’t Win ‘em All”
G’day!
When members of the media get bored, they start picking on people and things just to fill word counts. Now, chubby little Selena Gomez is their target. So she has a cerveza-belly and a lot of cherubim fat on her body. Thunder thighs. Big deal. She’s in her thirties. Happens to all of us. It’sContinue reading “G’day!”
Monkey Business
I like Charles Barkley. At 6’ 6” I used to marvel at how much space he could clear out in the paint as he swiped yet another rebound off the glass. Over taller and (much) taller players. He’s also a little bit of a clown, but I’m good with that; the world needs colorful peopleContinue reading “Monkey Business”
I’ll Bite
I know my paltry few hundred subscribers don’t seem like many until you get in a line that long for anything, but U.S. Representative Nancy Mace from South Carolina just came out the very next day after my blog proposing the same “one strike and you’re out” penalty as China has for raping a youngContinue reading “I’ll Bite”
Come Again?
I think about five or six days ago I posted a warning about how the use of cyberwarfare might be part of Iran’s battle plans and now they are screwing around with our missile defense systems. Even an old piker like me knows that can’t be real good. I’ve heard that life imitates art andContinue reading “Come Again?”
Pot Meet Kettle
The Daily Mail reports that little bald dumbass lawn gnome Vladimir Putin has gone on record as saying the recent killing of Ayatollah Khamenei is a “cynical violation of morality and international law.” STFU. Like you are any better ex-KGB thug and murderous bastard. Spain isn’t allowing old Poopypants Trump to use its bases inContinue reading “Pot Meet Kettle”
So You’re Telling Me There’s a Chance…
It is a rainy day in southern Ohio which is one of the reasons it is so green and beautiful once spring and summer hit and I am practicing for an open mic at a popular Dayton pub tomorrow night. We only get a 30-minute timeslot so here are the songs I plan to play:Continue reading “So You’re Telling Me There’s a Chance…”
Nothing is Possible
Not anymore. Not for everyone. Add Goldie Hawn, once one of the cutest faces in all of celebrityhood (did I just invent another word?) to the list of desperate old buzzards clinging fiercely to their last vestiges of youth with beauty-destroying cosmetic surgery. Artificial cheekbones. Plastic skin pulled tight. Duck lips. Sad. James Blair possessesContinue reading “Nothing is Possible”
