April 8, 2014

Math à la Newt

April 6, 2014

first met Newt in 1973, when he was making his initial unsuccessful bid for Congress. Fortunately, I have not seen him since 1980. I was a local office holder and he wanted my help. He failed to obtain it. My standards were never that low and he was always transparent. Despite his claims, Newt’s intellect […]

The Differences?

April 5, 2014

Afghanistan Conservatives’ Goals = American Republicans’ Goals here are two areas where I find the lines blurred. One is in the national/international arena. The other is closer to home. You likely have heard about the first ones. I hope you have been spared the later.

The Church, Inc.

March 31, 2014

ou remember Mitt Romney. He’s the one that believes that when he dies he will become the god of his own planet. (See the Book of Mormon Jokes.) More importantly, he believes, as he said, “Corporations are people, my friend.” Two down . . . and as little Ricky Perry, I can’t remember the third. Before […]

Brain Freeze

January 11, 2014

kay. So it’s cold outside; even here where the sun shines bright and the moonshine’s delicious. That must mean that global warming is a liberal lie. Once again we have a case of the pot calling the snowflake black. Rush and the inmates at Fox aren’t exactly laughing their asses off. Were that so we […]

Fake Ducks

December 23, 2013

Pale Blue Dot

November 10, 2013

t’s a pity that some are too young to have been enthralled by the messages and, indeed, the voice of Carl Sagan. You didn’t need to be inspired to become an astrophysicist or an astronaut. You could be inspired with a sense of wonder at the Earth on which we stand Enjoy this very short […]

Crude Ted

March 21, 2013

hat have we done to merit this abomination? That raucous noise coming out of the District of late is from what appears to be the latest Joe McCarthy wannabe. Calling those with whom you disagree communist and such will earn you that distinctive reputation. Teddy Cruz is the new senator from Texas. That explains a […]

Surrender

March 5, 2013

t’s over. Most people didn’t realize there was a war. Is it really a war when only one side fights? They won while we sat around congratulating ourselves on being a part of the “Greatest Country in the World.” Just how is it the “Greatest?” One of every four prisoners in the world are in […]
