Kevin Spacey, paraphrasing Edward R Murrow, said we get what we deserve. I think that is a great point of his, but it brings up a problem. You can’t operate a business at a loss and expect to stay in business, it just isn’t feasible. Money has to come from somewhere, and you can be… Continue reading Kevin Spacey – We get what we deserve

Political Prognostications
No, I do not refer to them as my PP. That would be juvenile, which is just funny as hell, and therefore not a serious form of humor. Bernie – He’s struggling to bring in the win in the south like I thought he would. He’s not losing by much, however, which is better than… Continue reading Political Prognostications
The SS
No, not Ze Germans. I mean Selective Service. I’ve been inundated with radio commercials lately talking about required registration for SS, SSS as they’re calling it now. I find it rather telling that they use the stick rather than the carrot. “Don’t break the law.” “You won’t qualify for college grants or scholarships.” “You’ll never… Continue reading The SS
The Secret of the Thunderome
The secret, of course, is very simple. The best way to play, indeed the only real way to win long term, is to not play at all. Compromise instead, which in the current climate, is basically an anathma.
Ah, Iowa.
Interesting night. Trump lost, which I expected. He reacted pretty much like I expected, too. I think he’s probably jumped the shark at this point, but we will see. Bernie put in a much stronger showing than I anticipated. I was not paying close attention, but from what I recall, polls had him down a… Continue reading Ah, Iowa.
It’s a conspiracy, Man!
No, really! This has been my view for a decade or more, but it’s fun to see somebody throw some numbers at it. Whether it’s Loose Change or Moon Landings, I always viewed the biggest point of failure of any conspiracy theory to be the shear amount of people involved in the undertaking. When you… Continue reading It’s a conspiracy, Man!
The Donald
I’m glad he’s running. There, I said it. Anyone that knows me will probably raise an eyebrow, or two, depending on whether they can do that Spock thing, or not, but hear me out. We’ve been stuck in a political rut for quite awhile. We have a basic two party system that hasn’t fundamentally changed… Continue reading The Donald
A Shameless Plug- And an appeal to your deeply seated guilt
Hey guys, My son, Joshua, is participating in a fundraiser for his school. The funds will go towards the construction of the Lion’s Lair 2.0 Playground, which is not only a school playground, but a community one, as well. I actually helped build the original Lion’s Lair when I was in 9th grade, so it… Continue reading A Shameless Plug- And an appeal to your deeply seated guilt
For Dave, a little humor on Friday.
This was a bit before our time, but perhaps you heard of it while growing up? I think it is something that would strike your sense of humor. The Bestseller Book That Didn’t Exist: how the author of a beloved Christmas classic pulled off the Hoax of the Century
I observed a drug deal…
Well, actually, I observed two, but I’m going to talk about the first one. I was enjoying a Frosty at the park with my daughter. At two and half years of age, you can get away with entertaining a child by just letting them run around you while sharing licks off of a spoon. I’m… Continue reading I observed a drug deal…
