Ogden Nash once wrote: “There is only one way to achieve happiness  On this terrestrial ball And that is to have either a clear conscience Or none at all.” Here’s the unfortunate thing. So many of the people we choose as our leaders are those who fall into Mr. Nash’s second category – those with … Continue reading People of Conscience →

The longer you are involved in the law, the more you realize that what the law says is a what the Supreme Court says it says. The guys who wrote the Constitution, in their social far-sightedness, drafted it in general terms. They understood that while they were sitting in a steamy room in Philadelphia in … Continue reading It Ain’t My History and Tradition →

Two events happened recently that made me think about what we could be.  One event involved a golfer who was an entrant in one of the tournaments that are held to determine who qualifies to play in the US Open. He played great. How great? Well, the guy set the course record. He was thrilled. … Continue reading Which Side Are You On? →

Justice Clarence Thomas tells us that his receipt of extremely expensive gifts from his Nazi memorabilia collecting friend is perfectly permissible because someone told him that it was. He hasn’t yet told us who that ethics advisor is. But we won’t wait for Clarence to disclose that.

There is one aspect of the indictment that even the most ardent XXX supporter is not challenging. No one is … Continue reading Trump Technicalities →

So, the Orange Julius has been indicted in New York. Despite the prognostications of every media airbag who either knows how to speak or can barely type, no one knows how this indictment or any other future ones will turn out. However, I have my suspicions. I present them here: April, 2023 – Trump appears … Continue reading A Trumpian Nightmare →

With … Continue reading A Fantasy Indictment from Alvin Bragg →

The Orange Menace is creeping up on us again. Well, not exactly “creeping”, he is attacking. If the word, “creep” is at all appropriate when applied to Stubby Fingers, it should be used as the root of the adjective, “creepy.” Nevertheless, he’s not only back with a vengeance, he’s also seeking it.  There apparently is … Continue reading No Matter What He Does →

Do you know who you are? I mean, really.  Now that is a pretty big question for a puny little blog like this. I know that.
