To belie or not to belie, that is the question Whether tis nobler to suffer the stings and narrows of outrageous opinions Or to take arms against their sea of Trumples And by opposing, try to end them. There is the familiar axiom that conversations should avoid religion and politics. Too controversial.  I don’t agree with … Continue reading The Discussion Dilemma →

In the way I have viewed them, Donald Trump and Muhammad Ali are polar opposites. I detest one and I idolize the other. Guess which is which. I just finished reading a fine book called “Blood Brothers” by Randy Roberts and Johnny Smith. It’s about the relationship between Ali and Malcolm X. As I read, … Continue reading The Champ and The Chump →

“Here in the United States, we are alarmed at new calls to adopt socialism in our country . . .“ This is what the Orange Menace said in his State of the Union speech way back in January (as he was ignoring the virus that would kill hundreds of thousands of us). It sounds scary … Continue reading Socialism? Really? →

In the beginning, I created the heaven and the earth And our country, like the military under the Democrats, was without form and void And the dark people, I mean, the “darkness”, was upon the face of the nation And I said, “let there be crowds,” and there were crowds, the largest crowds ever at … Continue reading Genesis – The Trump Version →

The Democratic Party Convention this week included a kind of bull session among those candidates for the nomination who lost to Biden. Intended to demonstrate the unity of the Party, it was, well, entertaining.  Next week is the Republican’s turn.  They don’t have losing candidates because no one in their mob had the gonads (or the … Continue reading A Real Bull Session →

Dear Mr. Vice-President: I feel like I know you. After all, isn’t that the image you want to convey? So, I will feel more comfortable just calling you, “Joe,” and, selfishly, it’s a lot easier to type. Joe, like so many other people, I’m worried about you. I’m worried that you may not win this … Continue reading Oh, So True? →

The other day I was with family and the subject of Cheese Waffies came up (don’t ask). If you don’t know, Cheese Waffies are, as the name implies, sandwich crackers in waffle form with a kind of Cheese-Wiz in between. Actually, my niece, who seems to remember everything, recalled that it was my favorite snack. … Continue reading Waffies or Duds →

Is anyone now counting their chickens? Remember, there won’t be any hatching until November 3. It is tempting to think that the mood of the country has now finally turned against Dangerous Donald.  All the polls point that way. As of this writing, they have him down by between 8 and 14 points nationwide (the 8-point … Continue reading Chickens Take Their Time →

Way back in last September, I offered some thoughts on why Biden should name his cabinet before the election. At the time, my reasons and suggestions for nominees were influenced by how it could then unite the various Democratic candidates if he included them in the package. Well, that ship has sailed. Now, there is … Continue reading What’s in the Cabinet? →

In light of Trump the father and Trump the daughter hawking Goya Beans, imagine what commercials we might see if that family is given another term.  Maybe something like this: (Fade in. Oval Office. President is sitting at the Resolute Desk. Ivanka is sitting next to him. – The President is wearing his usual Blue suit … Continue reading January 21, 2021 →
