As I write this, today is the day that, according to the experts, the people of this country have given Donald Trump, undoubtedly the worst President this country has ever had to suffer through, the heave-ho. This is the day that I, along with so many others, have devoutly wished for.  I should be overjoyed.  I’m not. … Continue reading Election Emotions →

With apologies to Rudyard Kipling “If” you have never read Rudyard Kipling’s classic poem of that name, you should. Here’s a link to it. https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/46473/if--- So, After suffering through four years of Trumpism and  watching four billion hours of election coverage, I have my own version of Kipling’s magnificent work.  Here it is: If the mail-ins break … Continue reading With Apologies To Rudyard Kipling →

I just sent you a blog about secession. Unfortunately, the system decided that the map I intended to include should, itself, secede from the post. Maybe this was a Halloween precursor of the evil censorship that will be imposed in a second Trump/Barr/McConnell term. Maybe it's just my incompetence. My money is on the latter. … Continue reading APOLOGIES →

My wife is a very smart person. Her judgments are invariably perceptive.  Well, except one. She married me. But, that was 45 years ago. She’s entitled to one mistake every half century or so. She’s got this idea that may be one of her best. It is her suggestion for what to do in case of … Continue reading The Secession Obsession →

As Election Day nears, courts have been inundated with election law challenges. When Election Day passes, that won’t stop them. The challenges will continue. Our American obsession with litigation is no longer limited to adjudication of slip and fall cases and contract disputes and dog bites and has now become the method by which we … Continue reading May It Please The Court →

I’ve watched as much of the Amy Barrett hearings as I could stand. The insincerity on all sides was un-stomachable.  The Republicans say that all they are interested in is a Justice who will objectively call ‘em as she sees ‘em. Sure. And Charley Sheen is only interested in frigid Amish spinsters. The Democrats say … Continue reading A Sincere Hearing →

As I write this, Whitey Ford died today. To many, that will mean nothing. To me it means a lot. Edward Charles Ford, known as “Whitey,” pitched for the New York Yankees from 1950 to 1967 He didn’t only just pitch. He won. In his career, he compiled the greatest winning percentage of any pitcher … Continue reading Thanks, Whitey →

It took a while and a few visits to a couple of garbage dumps, but we have tracked down the now famous fly that decided to land on Mike Pence’s hair during tonight's debate. The fly doesn’t usually stay in one place very long, so we only had a short time to ask him these … Continue reading Interview With The Fly →

Well, now he has it. He got the virus. As I write this, they are putting the President in a Medivac and bringing him to Walter Read Hospital. The politically correct thing to say is that I wish him well and that I hope he recovers fully and quickly. If I said that, it would be … Continue reading My Idea Of Justice →

It doesn’t take Nostradamus or even the winner of your office football pool (or maybe even the loser) to forecast what’s going to happen on Election Day and thereafter. The Orange Menace will claim victory somehow and allege that any votes contradicting his claim were fraudulent.  We will watch for weeks as courtrooms around the country … Continue reading Clicking for Freedom →
