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 Latest Buzz

That bald little lawn gnome Vladimir Putin keeps making the president mad, and every time he does, off goes another shipment of weapons and other objects of death to Ukraine, so I might just be an old country boy, but I think Putin was incorrect saying Russia would end the war “in three weeks.” Don’tContinue reading “The Latest Buzz”

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”

No Misgivings…

There is no excuse whatsoever, for baking your child to death in your hot car as you sit in the cool air-conditioned bar knocking a few back with friends. No worries. Trump will probably pardon them. Speaking of DJT, some judge is preventing him from taking over the Department of Education. What, I ask is,Continue reading “No Misgivings…”

I Don’t Get It

Eighteen years old and getting ready to attend high school prom. No prom. Shot in the back. Dead. The kids who were with him said that they were just “playing a prank” in an attempt to get some views on TikTok. Oh, I get it. Haha. Details. Yes, by all means, DO sweat the smallContinue reading “I Don’t Get It”

Without Fail

No matter how great you think you are, there is always someone, somewhere out there, who is better. I saw it a lot of it growing up as I started competitive tackle football at age seven. I would have started at age six, but I was caught trying to forge my parents’ signatures on theContinue reading “Without Fail”
