What's the Matter With Kids Today?

Gang, we've been here before. In spades. At least we can all agree on one thing - the music was so much better back then.

My Melancholy Bibi

I have lost a couple of Palestinian friends due to what they perceive as my Israeli bias. I will no doubt see the opposite effect among my Jewish friends. But politics is politics, here or there.

Make the Bible Great Again

Your "God Bless the USA Bible" will ship with a copy of the Declaration of Independence, AND the Pledge of Allegiance! You will never have to worry about the separation of church and state again!

We Need a Break from Spring Break

Paxton's droopy eyelid isn't the only thing limp at home. Could the Texas Porn boycott be driving the lecherous Attorney General into the arms of another mistress?

Outbound Train

"Mike and I had both earned college scholarships with our performances as high school distance runners and were formulating plans for our lives that did not include Vietnam or our home state, which is why he had agreed to drive me to the Canadian National Train station in Windsor, Ontario."

Superbowl Takeaways

Pro Sports, as exemplified by the Superbowl, struggle to avoid political and cultural minefields that might alienate their audience. Meanwhile, TV subscriptions and the cost of tickets are making games unaffordable for all but elite fans.

Can Anyone Here Play This Game?

Governor Ironside here in Texas has decided "Supreme Court/Schmupreme Court. I'll do what seems expedient...I mean, right and proper." Our Attorney General is tracking down trans kids in hospitals in other states. Mexican people are drowning in the Rio Grande and Willie still can't get legal weed.

I Really Want to Be Fair to Republicans

Paxton is suing Pfizer for "overstating the effectiveness of their vaccine." Really? This guy has decided that the testing of the vaccine was flawed. No doubt renowned scientist George Santos will be an expert witness, if he can interrupt his renewed work with Goldman-Sachs, NASA, and the Beatles.

Some Thanksgiving Musings

The old saying is that politics is show business for ugly people. I am now convinced it's high school for slow learners.

What Rodney Could Have Taught Vivek

Not only is his overwrought and seemingly tireless debating style hitting the crowd as distinctly joyless, but maddening as well. It seems that no moderator, Fox or NBC, can convince him to put a sock in it. It's like the worst High School Class President contest ever.

US History

The Second Casualty

"Nothing seems to have changed in a century and a half. Humans are still killing other humans because of their differing gods or how they look, or the things they believe... and the children still fall first."

OK. Uncle! I Give Up.

I am inclined to frankly, give up. The forces of commerce and human inertia are too strong. Politicians on the take, the companies that take them, and our own reluctance when confronted with change, will doom it.
