Unfortunately, the last guy was found to be too damn stupid to continue, so we had to replace him with this box of rocks, which has been verified to be a very stable genius with very large hands. Yesterday, President Trump actually suggested that a light - either inside the body or outside - might…
How Can I Cash In?
When confronted with adversity, most of us try to come up with a way to overcome it. Only the most twisted among us look for a way to profit financially from the adversity others experience. Often, but not always, they are politicians. Other times they are little more than small time crooks looking to turn…
I am Discouraged
I'll be honest with you - I am profoundly discouraged. A significant portion of America is either stupid, morally bankrupt or both. Truth no longer matters, doing the right thing no longer matters, the ability to analyze an argument seems to be beyond at least a plurality of Americans, and it seems that any behavior…
Fools Driving Disaster
Our nation is being led by a bunch of fools who value their wealth over your life. Let that sink in for a minute. Profits motivate more than science, lies more that facts, hallucination more than reality. Ego rules the day, bluster is valued more than fact, and the very party that prattles on about…
Priorities
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), one of the poorest excuses for a human being in Congress today, if not in history, first said that the corona virus wasn't serious and then said that a death rate of one percent wasn't worth harming the economy. In other words Ron Johnson's greed, in his very tiny mind and…
Pet Rabbits?
From the Huffington Post: REP. DUNCAN HUNTER RESIGNS AFTER GUILTY PLEA Duncan Hunter has submitted his resignation, about a month after pleading guilty to federal charges. The Californian Republican and his wife, Margaret Hunter, were indicted for misappropriating $250,000 in campaign donations for personal use, including luxurious family vacations, private school tuition, and airfare for…
When did it Become Acceptable?
When did it become acceptable in America for a man to mistreat a woman? When did it become acceptable in America for an American government official to take a woman in a back room and scream profanities at her? How does it come to pass that an American Secretary of State, a position that traditionally…
$2.49 a Gallon!
So declared the man on the other side of the gas pump last night. The amount represented at least a twenty cent increase from the day before. It was late, and although I am usually more diplomatic than this I responded, "Assassination is expensive!" He looked rather shocked, and I surmised that we didn't share…
The End of Hate
I find it amazing that, in a civilized society, it would be necessary to write this post. Although we may at one time have been a civilized society, we have slipped off the mark in an orgy of selfishness that is the result of a profound distortion and perversion of rugged individualism. The first time…
Who Are We to Be?
I confess that, watching the political discourse over the last few years I have become increasingly discouraged. I have watched American politics, not as an obsession but as a citizen interested in public discourse, since the late Johnson administration. To my more smart assed younger friends, I should specify that I mean the Lyndon, and…
