There are ways of departing this sphere of existence and then there is getting buried under a landslide of mud, debris, and garbage at a landfill in Manilla, Philippines. We don’t choose how or when. HE does. So tragic. The U.S. just seized the fifth oil tanker linked to Venezuela. One more and I willContinue reading “Don’t Blink”

The Long and Short of it
Now President Gustavo Petro of Colombia is jumping all froggy on our president. Like Colombia is the model for anything. Puh-leeze. The corruption and fraud existed on several layers in Minnesota, not just a couple of barefoot Somali kids playing around on a computer. So, when I hear Democrat Governor Tim Walz deny knowing anythingContinue reading “The Long and Short of it”
Wayward Thinking…
Somewhere in the forests of Colorado, a mountain lion is roaming free after killing a woman on New Year’s Day. She was an intruder, walking on his path in his home. The loss of any life I believe to be tragic, but the human response was predictable and even more of a tragedy. When theyContinue reading “Wayward Thinking…”
Making Sense of Absolutely Nothing
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…”
Are You Thinking What I’m Thinking?
My boy the little lawn gnome Putin, is at it again. This time, I am changing my tune. His plan to empty his most brutal prisons out of the worst criminals, give them guns, and send them to the front lines of the war against Ukraine is…genius. What could be the only thing worse thanContinue reading “Are You Thinking What I’m Thinking?”
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”
