It’s about an hour away from the president’s State of the Union address and I am awaiting it with the same anticipation I had when waiting for the next Jerry Lewis movie in the 50’s and 60’s—I couldn’t wait to see what that zany whackenheimer was going to say or do next… {NOTE: since IContinue reading “Ask the Wizard”

Play it Again
In the “New Normal” what do you do when your popularity poll numbers are embarrassingly, irreversibly low? You stop taking the poll, silly. If that doesn’t make you swell with national pride, what does? Just another “thanks, but no thanks.” Greenland has turned down an offer from the United States who offered medical care forContinue reading “Play it Again”
That Explains It
So that joke of a Supreme Court, supposedly an unbiased branch of our crumbling democracy, actually struck down some of the president’s tariffs and he’s not happy about it. Not one bit. So now, he’s closing his eyes and shooting. Everybody gets a tariff. 10% until he can think of a dumber move to make.Continue reading “That Explains It”
Crazy You Should Mention That
The political landscape in this country is a crumbling, unstable vestige of a democracy with entitled, crepe paper-skinned old buzzards aging out and turning senile before the eyes of the world. No wonder the newer generations have such a nihilistic view of the world. I would much rather see suicide rates go through the roofContinue reading “Crazy You Should Mention That”
Take Your Medicine/Super Bowl Critique
The venerable old Wall Street Journal asks: Where Did All The Cheap Restaurants Go? More of an observation than anything, but the only way to make money in the lower-end establishments is volume. High volume. It cures all ills on the Profit and Loss Statement: It lowers labor cost. It lowers operating costs. It lowersContinue reading “Take Your Medicine/Super Bowl Critique”
Never Surrender
Unless you have to. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is endorsing Kathy Hochul’s bid for reelection as Governor. And he’s getting a load of shit for it. Why? Why is he endorsing her or why is he catching hell for it? He’s endorsing her because she has shown a willingness to work together withContinue reading “Never Surrender”
Wake Me When It’s Over
Los Angeles, the City of Angels, is the site of the latest group of anti-ICE protesters jumping up and getting froggy with Kristi Noem’s gang. My money is on ICE. They have guns, have shown that they will not hesitate to use them, and if they err, it ill be on the side of stomp-your-face-first-ask-questions-laterContinue reading “Wake Me When It’s Over”
Age is Just a Number
One of the Dumbass Doctors—Phil or Oz (I can’t remember which) has posited that with the age expectancy climbing, the first person who will reach 200 years of age in their lifetime has already been born. Can you friggin’ even imagine being two-hundred? If you are young, of course not. Hell, you probably can’t evenContinue reading “Age is Just a Number”
Presto! Change-o!
If only it were that simple. Not quite the Boston Tea Party, but it’s a start. Some anti-ICE protesters took over a hotel lobby in New York City to protest their housing of federal ICE agents. I’m sure the student working part-time on the reservation desk didn’t make the policy. Or the night maintenance guy.Continue reading “Presto! Change-o!”
Why Bother?
It looks like the First Lady is not quite the popular draw she thought she’d be after releasing her self-titled 75-million-dollar-box-office BOMB. It doesn’t help that she has the personality of a grapefruit. But she does have six-inch stilettos. This is rich. The president is blaming his recent dip in popularity in polls on “badContinue reading “Why Bother?”
