A NEW "CHRISTMAS STORY" I love the movie, "A Christmas Story." That's largely because I grew up listening to Jean Shepard on the radio. "Shep", as all his fans called him, was a genius storyteller with a coterie of characters from his childhood growing up in northern Indiana. All the stories said something about life, … Continue reading →

Maybe The Next Generation Will Do It The original idea of this Blog, indicated by its title, was that my generation - those of us whose feet both marched for peace and played Twister while high - has abandoned our ideals. We had it, but we gave it up. My posts, though, have digressed from … Continue reading →

Tiger Woods won the Masters again. Watching it made me so happy that I actually teared up. How crazy is that? Of course, I have never met Tiger Woods. His life and mine are as unattached as Donald Trump is to reality. Yet, with each of his shots, and I watched them all, I was … Continue reading Tiger with Tears →

C'MON LIBERALS - GET A GRIP I am a liberal. I know that's not the popular description for people of my ilk. Now, we are supposed to be called, "Progressive." That's because the label, "liberal" has been slandered by the right wing. So, we changed our name. We caved. Well, we're caving again. Three recent … Continue reading →

IT IS HERE The Mueller Report is done Now each side will have their fun The right will say, "exonerated." The left will say, "as we anticipated." To the fine satisfaction of no one

AFFIRMATIVE ACTION FOR THE STUPID It was revealed this week that a whole bunch of rich people were paying off to get their kids into good colleges. What a shock! You mean the wealthy have advantages in this country? Well, tie me up and call me whip me hard (which, by the way, is one … Continue reading →

The past few days have been rough ones for assholes.  Some our most detested people had days so bad that castration would have been preferable. And wasn’t it fun to watch! I am speaking, of course, of the Ogre in the Oval, the Jerk-Off of Jerusalem and, finally, the most powerful of all, the Pig … Continue reading Suffer The Assholes →

Whenever I’m in a discussion (read “argument”) about athlete’s salaries, I am always on the side of the players.  “None of those owners,” I typically say, “are going to pay anything they can’t afford. They don’t buy those teams as a charity. They pay millions to make millions. The owners are pigs.” (and this is … Continue reading Come On, Bryce. Get Off Your Ass →

I hate racial prejudice in all its forms. Maybe, in other blogs, I’ll go into that further. For now, I need to re-tell something I did the other day that drove home to me again that no matter how much I am repelled by that disease, I, too, suffer from it’s deeply seated roots.
