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”

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”
Look Into the Abyss
Even the Washington Post knows when enough is enough. Jeff Bezos’ next move will probably be to rename the paper the Trump-Washington Post and skip a few steps. Besides, what do we need pesky old impartial news for anyway? We have Trump to tell us what, and how, to think. In a few years, they’llContinue reading “Look Into the Abyss”
Afterthoughts II
Our high schoolers are continuing the slide down the educational ladder, as their scores drop to a new low. Who needs silly old education anyway? People keep reporting Trump is dead, but really, he just looks that way. Newsweek is reporting Gen Z is experiencing “a drop in life satisfaction.” Darn. I was hoping toContinue reading “Afterthoughts II”
Take a Hike
So it’s not just arrogant Americans… Australia has its share of dumbasses who have no respect for nature or the planet on which we dwell. Don’t they have a clue what “protected” forests are? People like them should leave our ecosystem. They are just taking up good oxygen that a tree or bush could beContinue reading “Take a Hike”
Enjoy the Ride
A 73 year-old Australian man was pulled over for a routine traffic stop and it was discovered he was still under a suspension that would ban him from driving again for another 92 years. He can drive again when he is 165 years-old. I lost my license briefly after one of the many bouts IContinue reading “Enjoy the Ride”
Standards
They should be just what they sound like; set, immovable, intractable and not to be trifled with and avoiding, at all costs, the possibility of lowering your standards. I used to joke to my golf buddies that as much mistrust I have of the medical profession (business), I would still rather have a doctor doContinue reading “Standards”
Great (and not so great) Expectations
It was only the first official Premier League football match away at Portman Road under the Amorim reign as manager. The Reds were very lucky to escape Southampton with a 1-1 draw, despite scoring in the first two minutes of play. Not until the final ten minutes of play did United revive a dead offenseContinue reading “Great (and not so great) Expectations”
Down, But Not Out
I wasn’t feeling bad at all, having played an hour-long set at a new bar that wants to attract new patrons. My dinner consisted of a 4 oz piece of T-bone steak and exactly 10 Tater Tots (yes I counted them). I was sick as a dog on Friday night and I thought I wasContinue reading “Down, But Not Out”
What’s News?
Who do you trust for your news? In days gone by, you had paragons of integrity reporting the facts, without coloring or filtering it. Brinkley, Cronkite, Reasoner, Jennings, and you must insert Barbara Walters in that group. At least her earlier reporting before she started making mini-movies for 60 Minutes and then her own specials.Continue reading “What’s News?”
