I remember when timeshares were the big thing and how they absolutely blew up in the eighties and nineties. And somewhere in the contract execution, people were getting screwed over left and right, caught in a cycle of never-ending escalating payments and fees that just got stupid. A Michigan couple is being reminded (once again)Continue reading “Easy Does It”

That’s More Like It
A sixty-five year old American dumbass thought he’d be cute and carve his name into a sacred Japanese temple pillar. I hope they give the idiot the maximum three years in prison to think about what a dumbass he is. You can’t win ‘em all, Disney. Mixed in with your mega box office hits areContinue reading “That’s More Like It”
A Long Way to Go
You see stories of the unabashed hatred some people have for transgender people and I am the last one to understand it, but I don’t hate what I don’t understand. I either study it in depth or move on to another subject. And the world somehow keeps spinning… So I don’t understand the resistance toContinue reading “A Long Way to Go”
Hocus Pocus
Nothing up my sleeve…. And presto! Change-o! We are no longer a democratic citizenry. We are a mob just waiting for something to piss us off enough to do violence and destruction. We should be so proud. And in the “Only in America” department, people are reportedly being picked up by ICE agents all acrossContinue reading “Hocus Pocus”
Here it Comes…
Since I am a big fan of survival movies, I was flicking through the film selections on the tube and I saw a movie from 2015 which was simply titled Everest. I was a huge fan of Vertical Limit so I figured I would check this movie out. It wasn’t bad and I would readilyContinue reading “Here it Comes…”
Have Fun!
Spring break is here! Just don’t travel anywhere. Even staying home is dangerous anymore. Even our old buddy Germany is warning its citizens of venturing here. Now I know I’m just an old country boy from East L.A. but I don’t think that Delta jet airplane was supposed to land upside down. The CEO ofContinue reading “Have Fun!”
Hear Me Now
Believe me later. My paean to Hanz and Franz and the Saturday Night Live’s fiftieth anniversary. I’m not one of those old fuddy-duddies who dwell in the past and say that the first few seasons of SNL had the best and funniest ensemble casts ever (although they did). I mean, there have been funny peopleContinue reading “Hear Me Now”
Clickbait
I click on way too many of these “stories” and I can’t explain it. I can’t even explain why I can’t take my eyes off the screen as the good-hearted landscaper fixes the old ladies’ overgrown yard, trimming back every weed and perfectly clearing the sidewalks and driveway. But this story said, “Seven words dogsContinue reading “Clickbait”
Welcome to America
Now go home. Now it is Native Americans who fear getting caught in the new aggressive ICE policies. That’s right; the people that were originally here, and whose land we stole, are worried about being thrown out of their stolen country. They should be. It’s not gonna end there; once the criminal and unsavory areContinue reading “Welcome to America”
Chew on This
Just like an episode of Law and Order, a wrongly imprisoned man was released after thirty years when modern DNA technology backed up his unwavering assertion of innocence. If this indeed holds up, what price tag would you put on what is owed to this person? We can’t just say, “Sorry, oops and move on….Continue reading “Chew on This”
