The four horsemen are saddling up

The four horsemen of the apocalypse that is. As if having Donald Trump on a presidential ballot were not proof enough the Anti-Christ is alive and walking among us, now comes a day when I actually agree with a Republican Congressman from Mississippi. Repent! The hour of judgment is at hand!

Thank God it’s Friday!

As a part of the conference I am hosting I had to go to a social event last night. After a couple of large hefeweizens, a member of our group brought up the subject of the demon that is Donald Trump. Like throwing chum in the water, I took the

Not happy with the monster they created.

Or sometimes, a horse just deserves a beating. A vile and rather disturbing comment deserves a response. It is kind of funny to hear the responses from all the so-called “principled conservatives” today, who continue, even when it has been proven to be a falsehood, to believe that there was

Running with the devil…….

If you have been following my sparse postings lately ( and judging by the hit counter, you haven’t) you will know that I am no fan of the junior Senator from the less than great state of Texas, Ted Cruz. In my lifetime, I have seldom seem an individual more

I’m back in shopping mall this week for a variety of reasons. Had some medical stuff done, did some stuff related to the S.O. Permanent Residence Card, and checked on my house. I also got to sit through rounds of American political commercials as the clock ticks down to the

Oh about that GOP debate last night

You know Ted Cruz fucked up when he gives Donald Trump, that Donald Trump, a chance to be elegant. I’m no big fan of New York City, but Cruz probably wishes he had not broken out the dog whistles: Explanation to be found over at Balloon-Juice: During Thursday night’s debate,

The power of how one uses language.

Over at Balloon Juice, Annie Laurie has found this interesting video that analyzes the way Donald Trump uses language and how he organizes his thoughts. Bottom line: Because Trump is a salesman more than a politician, he is focused on closing the deal and creating a sense of urgency to buy his

Stateside Things.

Well, its day two on the other side of the Atlantic. Waking up in an upper hotel floor and having to make myself ready to go work and not having the usual things around. In an acknowledgment to advancing years, I went to bed last night at 10:40 pm. My
