People told me that a trip to Africa would be life changing. I ignored those people for two reasons. First, I don’t need my life changed. I’m very happy with the way it is. And second, everyone returns from their trips with exaggerated evaluations of what they saw. When was the last time a returning … Continue reading It Really Is Dog Eat Dog

Where He Wants Us To Live
Agent Orange hovers above us as a cloud of fatal poison. I speak not of the chemical weapon. I speak, instead, of our President. His various atrocities are destroying our country just as surely as that biological system devastated Vietnam. Any exercise in listing his disgraceful behaviors would be counterproductive. It’s like the way James … Continue reading Where He Wants Us To Live
It’s All About the Brand, ’bout the Brand, ’bout the Brand
It’s all about the brand. There are two present examples that demonstrate the truth of this assertion. One has been where branding has been used to great effect, and this is by the bad guys – the Republicans. The other is where branding has been used to horrible effect, and that’s by the good guys … Continue reading It’s All About the Brand, ’bout the Brand, ’bout the Brand
“Anger isVital Psychological Information” Carl Jung
I’m watching the news as I write this. What I just saw really pissed me off. It was also an apt metaphor for why, at this pace, we will never get rid of MAGA. The story I’m watching is about the Supreme Court’s recent immigration ruling. The Un-Justices approved the deportation of immigrants from certain … Continue reading “Anger isVital Psychological Information” Carl Jung
Trump’s Other “Peace Deals”
We now know the terms of the “Deal” that the self-proclaimed master of the “Art of the Deal” has negotiated with Iran. Nothing really gained by the Great Negotiator and a lot of concessions made. It has to make you wonder what kind of “Deals” he would have made in order to end some of our … Continue reading Trump’s Other “Peace Deals”
My Slush Fund Claim
Here is a proposed claim for compensation from the Trump $1.776 billion Scam Fund. The legal citations are real. The rest of it, sadly, will not be real. Dear Acting Attorney General Blanche: Please accept this notice of my claim for compensation under the Trump vs. IRS Settlement Agreement. If you can try to suck … Continue reading My Slush Fund Claim
An Alternative “King’s Speech”
This week, the King of England spoke to a Joint Session of Congress. His speech addressed the long-standing “special relationship” between the U.K. and the U.S. I suppose that this is what was rightly expected. I wish, though, that he had instead said something like this: Mr. Speaker, Mr. Vice-President and all you other traitors … Continue reading An Alternative “King’s Speech”
Jesus H. Trump
The debate today is between those who think that Orange Julius’s use of the image of Christ is blasphemous and those who think it is simply Trump being Trump. I side with the latter group. But, not for their reasons. I agree that in posing as Jesus, Trump is being Trump but not because it … Continue reading Jesus H. Trump
Some Stuff That Just Might Happen
With so many of today’s actual events sounding as if they were made up by someone who’d just gobbled down too many gummies, it is hard to know what really is happening and what isn’t. Pretty soon, we may even see these reports: Today, President Donald J. Trump claimed victory in his war with Iran. He … Continue reading Some Stuff That Just Might Happen
Talk Therapy
How much do we have to take? My God, the avalanche of corruption, mendacity, boorishness, and inhumanity spewing from Orange Julius keeps cascading over us. More and more. I’ve been upset with everything about our Orange Leader for decades, but my ire was lit to a level I had never felt before while I watched … Continue reading Talk Therapy
