The other night I experienced something I had almost forgotten. It was around 8 p.m. and I was taking my trash cans down to the street for Monday morning pickup. Something happened that it has been a lot of Augusts since the last time. After a relatively normal late summer day, it was halfway cool …
The first time I saw this on Facebook, I laughed. It was one of those things that sounds really good until you start thinking about it and realized it’s just part of Donald Trump’s big con. As I said, I wasn’t going to comment on it, but I have seen it spreading. I’ve seen it …

This will just be a short post to remember the day, and also because what I have to say will not be particularly popular. The 911 attacks were awful, and although there was a short period of good feeling toward each other, in the end what happened to us was exactly what Osama bin Laden …
“They’re eating the dogs. They’re eating the cats. They’re eating the pets of the people who live there.” It may not have been Dan Quayle looking like a deer in the headlights when Lloyd Bentsen said he was no Jack Kennedy. It may not have been Gerald Ford saying there was no Soviet domination of …
“We are going to be a tariff nation.” Can Donald Trump really be that stupid? I can say I certainly hope not, but if he isn’t, if he really understands what tariffs do, he is hiding from his supporters that his tariffs would be a massive tax increase — on them. Tariffs are not now …

I don’t really follow American football anymore. It has been 25 years since I watched an NFL game on television, and John Elway was playing in that one. It was Super Bowl XXXIII, and it was six years after the one Super Bowl I saw in person. It was one of the last of 50 …
I have a friend who is a fairly hard core Trumpanzee. Actually I have two, but I think one of them is that way because he has a fairly twisted view of politics in America. My other friend was a very good one in the 1970s and in fact both introduced me to my first …

“But the transgender thing is incredible, think of it! Your kid goes to school and comes home a few days later with an operation, the school decides what’s going to happen with your child. And you know many of these childs 15 years later say, what the hell happened, who did this to me? “They …
Just a short post, a little food for thought. A couple of nights ago, I was awakened by my wife calling to me from her bedroom at the other end of the house from where I sleep. She falls occasionally and needs help getting up, so I got out of bed and called out to …
