Today is the 33rd anniversary of one of the most memorable days of my life. In fact, December 12th is the middle one of three particularly memorable days. The 11th was my birthday in 1949, the 13th was my first date with the first girl I ever loved in 1969. The 12th was the day …
This isn’t really intended to be a Democrat vs. Republican thing, although it may look that way. It’s really more a question wondering how so many truly low quality people wind up getting elected to important offices. Certainly one thing that gave me the idea to ask the question was the House of Representatives expelling …
Many of us who are of a certain age have experienced something like this. You’re horsing around in the house and there are unforeseen consequences. You bump into something and knock it to the floor, where it shatters beyond repair. When youre mother sees it, she gives the classic response. “This is why we can’t …
I am beginning to think that Donald Trump may have supernatural powers. It was one thing when he won the Republican nomination against a brutally weak field in 2016 and only slightly less believable when he won the general election against a fatally flawed Democrat later that same year. Yes, he was 5 points down …
It’s time to stop screwing around by saying Donald Trump might be another Adolf Hitler. The fact is, he’s worse and the people who are supporting him make Der Fuehrer’s followers look like the Mickey Mouse Club. Hitler was a nationalist and racist of the most rabid type, but it was pretty apparent he only …
When we talk about Christmas movies, things get kind of ridiculouis sometimes. Maybe the silliest thing we do is count something as a Christmas movie just because it happens at Christmas. Maybe the best (worst) examples are the first two “Die Hard” movies. Another one that fits with them is “The Long Kiss Goodnight.” I …

When you hear so-called Christians — explanation in a minute — talk about the presidents they love, the first two names that came to mind followed very few of the teachings of Christ. And the president many of them wrongfully call the worst ever may be the most Christian man ever to serve as president. …

You may think Donald Trump channeling his inner Hitler is the greatest threat to American democracy. If you do, you’d be wrong. Oh, Trump is pretty bad. Imagine Der Fuehrer gluttonous and obese, constantly whining about his own victimhood. Horrible, but not the worst. Worse than Trump, actually the worst of all, is the way …

How many times have you heard this expression? “They don’t make them like that anymore.” It’s an overworked statement that certainly isn’t always true, but I can think of one thing that it fits perfectly. Cal Worthington’s dog Spot. No one ever had as many dogs that weren’t dogs as Cal Worthington, maybe the most …
I’m not sure there is a more welcome talent than being able to make people laugh. It’s not quite as wonderful an ability as it seems. Comedian Gilbert Gottfried once said it was a lie when women claim a sense of humor is the most attractive quality women look for in a man. If that …
