He has totally denigrated women. He has been indicted for multiple felonies. He has lied, cheated, stolen, and defrauded. He has ignored the letter of the law, trampled on the United States Constitution, and he has humiliated both himself and his country on numerous occasions. But he starts to doze off in a meeting andContinue reading “Making Sense of Absolutely Nothing”

Hold On
That nerdy little gamer son of yours now has another potential conduit for his gaming ”skills.” Military drone operator. Except these aren’t little electronic dots and blips he’s dealing with; these are real bombs killing real people. Real bombs bombing real hospitals and schools. If they are great gamers, they will be great at killingContinue reading “Hold On”
Playing Dirty
I have previously chronicled the beginning and end of my big-time criminal career in a post from several years ago titled The Great Classroom Caper of 1962 and I can (and have) ranted about how much I hate thieves. There is something so primal about taking something that doesn’t belong to you, and I thinkContinue reading “Playing Dirty”
Here Today, Here Tomorrow
The president has proposed term limits for politicians: Six years for House of Representatives. Twelve years for Senators. He mentioned ‘nary a word on term limits for the presidency… Lane Kiffin, highly regarded as an offensive strategist in college football, has also sown his seeds of discontent. Just ask USC. Tennessee. Mississippi. Is LSU hisContinue reading “Here Today, Here Tomorrow”
A Christmas (Eve) Story…
I admit it. I am a sucker for Christmas and I always have been. But it’s not the presents. Or the lights. Or the colorful decorations. Keep in mind now that this is from my perspective, approaching my seventy-first Christmas. Christmas carols. Corny, and I love to hear people, especially kids, singing them. I thinkContinue reading “A Christmas (Eve) Story…”
If Not When…
The article started by saying what Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce had to say about the movie Home Alone. Quite frankly, I could give two shits what he has to say about anything other than why the Chiefs will be watching the playoffs on TV instead of defending their AFC Championship. I wouldContinue reading “If Not When…”
The Long and Short of it
More decisions coming from the NCAA College Football Playoff Committee as they face the legal issues arising in Athens, Georgia with two star football players just arrested. You have to remember, these aren’t wide-eyed, unsuspecting college students we’re talking about. Not anymore. They are adults making millions and hundreds of thousands of dollars in NILContinue reading “The Long and Short of it”
‘Tis the Season
Everybody looking for dirt on the president due to his past association with Jeffrey Epstein and all this time it was the horny British royals don’t ya know? “Don’t lend them any money.” That’s what I used to tell someone when speaking about a soon-to-be-ex-employee. With the unspoken because they won’t be around long enoughContinue reading “‘Tis the Season”
What Was I Thinking?
What if… All the rich people who have installed (hopefully) life-saving bunkers of their own in the event of a major catastrophe were actually setting themselves up for a slow, torturous, inevitable baking of their flesh while all the rest of us had already been vaporized instantly? That’s really one of the very few waysContinue reading “What Was I Thinking?”
Press the Bet
I have been enjoying my wild ride of a life for some seventy-one plus years now, and I still am able to look at the world and its people with the same wonder I had as a child. I wonder how we have made it so long without annihilating each other or making this planetContinue reading “Press the Bet”
