Far East Cynic

My solution to the TSA issue.

I ought to leave the topic alone, but….. It seems to me, the easiest way around this whole mess is to hire a lot more Hooters girls to do “pat downs” for male travelers. Something tells me the whining would drop in a New York minute. But what about the

The only place you need a prescription

Shopping Mall  remains firmly rooted in the 19th century: I wrote about Sherri Williams v. Alabama in 2005 (“Do You Have an Rx for That Vibrator?“), describing the battle Sherri fought to keep her Pleasures stores open after Alabama banned sex toy retail “for immoral purposes” from the state. I wrote

Perplexed

A comment on the changes in the workplace today. Women are more and more a part of today’s work force. I know that, I (reluctantly) accept it, and remain aware of it. But that being the case-why can’t we then adapt some of our business sayings to reflect that? And

Morning quote….

For a guy who had a lot to drink last night-I feel remarkably good this morning. Speaking of last night, here it is summed up nicely: “What this election suggests to me is that the United States may have finally lost its ability to adapt politically to the systemic crises

And now for something you really are not going to like.

The creator of Rocky and Bullwinkle has passed away. Criticize us boomers all you want-but we had some great cartoons. Also, on a another sad note, James McArthur-he of the phrase “Book ’em Dano!” passed away today. Man I feel old.

The way the poster should read……

Whenever I see someone post one of those stupid “Miss Me Yet” posters with the picture of the stupid man who destroyed the first decade of the 21st century for  America-I can’t help but think they have the picture wrong. It is the father, not the son who should be on

That dog won’t hunt……

It is not often I agree with The Hill-so skewed and un-objective are most of their pieces;  but even a broken clock is right twice a day: “I think attacking the outside money, and specifically attacking the Chamber, is of very limited value to the White House,” said former Rep.
