Which Way to Patriotism? Do you root for Orange Julius (“OJ”) to succeed? In other words, when he does something that he says is going to help the country, do you hope it actually does help or hope that it doesn’t? I’m sure you’ve gone through the thought process: success would be good for OJ … Continue reading A Few Conclusions for a Few Questions

Donald and Bibi – A Conversation
In my increasingly paranoid view of the world, I imagined the following phone conversation between our exalted leader and the guy in Israel with the same job. Trump: Bibi, baby, is that you? Bibi: Who else bubby? It’s your favorite Jew. Trump: Oh, this makes my day even better. I’ve been having so much fun … Continue reading Donald and Bibi – A Conversation

The Interview
This week, there was a meeting between Todd Blanche, one of Trump’s defense lawyers, the one now masquerading as the Deputy Attorney General of the United States, and Ghislane Maxwell, a former pimp for Jeffrey Epsein now doing time in a prison that she desperately wants to get out of.

Our Superheroes
None of us likes to be pushed around. None of us likes to be called, “weak.” Everybody likes to have power, likes to have control. The problem is that most of us, the ones with working cerebellums, realize that we can never have complete control. We realize that we can’t have much control at all. … Continue reading Our Superheroes

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?
Should the worst happen and Orange Julius (called “O.J.” in this blog) become President again, here are some imagined news stories from O.J.’s first year in office. 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.
