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 →

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? →
