Hello, God? Hello? Oh, God, is that you? I don’t hear a voice. I only hear something like a dial tone. Oh, that must be you, God. That must be your sound. Good. So, I called you because, as you probably know, it’s your time of year. This is when we’re all supposed to remember … Continue reading A Proposed Phone Call to God

A Future Look Into The Situation Room
Let’s imagine that war has broken out in the Middle East. Israel, Syria, and Iran are all actively involved. Israel is readying nuclear weapons and so is Iran. It’s not hard to imagine. Here’s a guess at what would take place at a Trump Cabinet meeting called to discuss how to react. This would be the … Continue reading A Future Look Into The Situation Room
The Nixon Gambit
Once we believed that no President could possibly be worse than Richard “Tricky Dicky” Nixon. How naïve we were. And Nixon had earned that reputation. There was not only Watergate and all that, but he also did other stuff. In 1969, a Supreme Court seat opened up while Nixon was President. He nominated a guy … Continue reading The Nixon Gambit
An Open Letter to Sen. Thune
Dear Senator Thune: It’s all up to you now. You haven’t always been a worshipper at the feet of Orange Julius. Not like a lot of others.

Orange Popsuckle
Orange reigns down on us all once again.

Occam Is Right Again
How is it possible that Kamala Harris might very well lose to a dictatorial moron? I think that Occam, the father of “Occam’s Razor” – that the simplest answer is the best one -would say, “she’s a black woman.” And my baby-boomer generation has something to do with that. Our generation has met very few of the … Continue reading Occam Is Right Again
O.J.s First Year?

January 20, 2025 – In a break with tradition, and just about everything else, as soon as the Oath of Office was administered to President-Elect Trump, he signed … Continue reading O.J.s First Year?
What A Character!
Political campaigns focus on what the candidates think about the issues of the day. This is understandable, but not useful. Analyzing the candidates’ views of present problems is not the most instructive way to evaluate their future competence to serve. Issues are transient. They come and go. Unforeseen things pop up during a candidate’s term. … Continue reading What A Character!
Sole Authority
There are an infinite number of reasons to detest Orange Julius (“O.J.”), let alone vote for him. One of them needs a particular emphasis that doesn’t seem to be getting enough attention. It’s that under presently applicable, official military procedures, only the President has the “sole authority” to launch of nuclear weapons. Anywhere. Anytime. He … Continue reading Sole Authority
