A (formerly) Far East located web site devoted to The Resistance, discussion of all things political, travel, women, golf, women,adventure, and did I mention women?
It’s been some week, hasn’t it? What with omicron showing up in the US, Japan banning all travel for foreigners – something I happen to agree with – the Supreme Court poised to strike down Roe v Wade and lest we forget, another senseless school shooting, it’s been a depressing
Without a doubt, the last few months have been depressing, to say the least. First came the Delta resurgence, which hit many places – even ones that were here to fore considered “safe.” Then, it was made worse in states like Florida and Texas, where their governments just turned a

One of the things that led me away from the Republican party forever was its descent into madness – punctuated by a fiendish adaptation of cruelty and selfishness. What I could not abide, as one who actually has made a study of economics, is the way they blithely dismissed the

At what point does typical American selfishness become callous and premeditated negligence? That’s the question the New Yorker posed last month when it published one of its famous long articles on the struggle of the city council in Minot, North Dakota, to implement a commonsense precaution against COVID, a mask

It’s been over a month since I have posted. There are a lot of reasons for that. For one thing, it’s been a busy time for me personally, working some irregular hours and also doing looking for a new place to live. The other and more predominant reason is that

Today is President Shitgibbon’s last full day in office. He is expected to pardon over 100 miscreants, liars, cheats, and various other criminals who are reflected in his horrible existence. In the last 48 hours, he has continued to do his level best to lay landmines and other booby traps
