I am approaching what could best be described as the contemplative stage of life. Savoring the adventures and the victories, dryly musing about the things I should have done differently – or should not have done at all. Regrets? I have a few. However, I will never regret wire brushing supporters of the tea party… Continue reading One thing I absolutely do not regret.

Worth repeating.
I’m a big fan of Jim Wright. Besides the fact that he and I are in alignment on most things – I like the fact that he is blunt and unafraid to take on controversial subjects. That is certainly true in his most recent face book post. Be sure to click on the “read more”… Continue reading Worth repeating.
The usual suspects come crawling out….
I think I am not alone when I say that I felt relieved when the verdict for Derek Chauvin was announced today. I did not expect to see the jury convict on all three counts. That said – it was clear that the prosecution had made a strong case, and the defense, well, they tried… Continue reading The usual suspects come crawling out….
The first step
Is admitting you are powerless over Twitter. As an extra added bonus – Google Play is not offering Parler on their app stores, and Apple is strongly considering it. Man, it must suck to incite a riot against your own country and have it blow up in your face. And yesterday came the final blow:… Continue reading The first step
Questions that need to be asked.
This being April 1st, in a normal world, it would be time for a fun post poking fun at something or playing a bloggers version of an internet prank. But these are not normal times, and there is nothing funny about the current world situation. So instead, I ‘d love to get the answer to… Continue reading Questions that need to be asked.
A criminal accomplice
Today is the 28th of March, meaning its been over a month since I was back on the sacred soil in Japan. It seems like years have passed. That is all due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Where I work is down to minimal manning, and we are working a schedule that has no more than… Continue reading A criminal accomplice
A bright spot in an otherwise miserable year.
I have just returned from the sacred pilgrimage to the “Holy City” and my Alma Mater. The weekend was awesome and I also spent some time in the “Burgh” before heading south. Got to see my son. Unfortunately, this worthless SOB seemed to be following me around. On Wednesday the 23rd, his Orange Rotundness came… Continue reading A bright spot in an otherwise miserable year.
While Mr. Madison weeps
Like a lot of Americans, I had the misfortune to watch the travesty that was the hearings on Brett fucking Kavanaugh last week. I really wasn’t inclined to watch them, rather I was more of a mind to wait till I read the transcripts afterward. But the S.O., surprisingly, wanted to watch them – from… Continue reading While Mr. Madison weeps
Dear John, an open letter to Mr. John Kelly.
Probably one of the most disturbing things about the advent of the current dark times we live in is to see the number of people selling their souls to the demon that is Trump and villainy he espouses. For the prior military folks such as John Kelly, the sin is compounded by the fact that… Continue reading Dear John, an open letter to Mr. John Kelly.
There is never a thesaurus around when you need one…….
And if you were a news reporter, you needed one this last weekend. Because they all had to spend a lot of time talking about this: And there are only so many euphemisms you can come up with. Fortunately for us all. Samantha Bee was busy looking in the Webster’s, so you don’t have to.… Continue reading There is never a thesaurus around when you need one…….
