Trump Is Unfathomably Ignorant

May 7, 2016

rump, despite his braggadocio, is not a successful businessman. He has mastered the media. That is not the same. He is simply a showman whose taste runs to the gaudy and whose social skills are more appropriate to the sandbox. Denizens of Wall Street estimate that his personal wealth would have been just as high […]

Enemies of the People

January 9, 2013

hen will the voters of this country wake up and commit these people to mental institutions, prisons or kindergartens? Some of our “leadership” are simply tools of their plutocratic owners. Others have not the intelligence to understand how ridiculous is the economic twattle that impresses them so much. They even gift us with a self-satisfied […]

Out of Business

June 6, 2012

ack in the days before dirt, when I first went to college, there were no courses in underwater basket weaving, tiddlywinks or recreational Nintendo. How could the jocks get a college education back then? Not to worry. The educational institutions of the time had a solution. They simply recommended that the athletic department suggest taking […]

Are They Really Special?

April 29, 2011

Name That Baby

June 11, 2010

It’s going to be an eventful Summer. We are expecting another granddaughter the end of this month and another grandson early in August. The kids have picked names for their spawn that will cause their victims to question whether mommy and daddy really loved them. They may seek surcease by using initials. I may be […]

Take My Hand

November 3, 2009

Please don’t be offended by the graphic. I am just offering to lead you through a little bit of a jungle where even the self-proclaimed Tarzans are lost. There are many others out there that insist you put your trust in them. They are dangerous in their hubris. They are either economists or other putative […]
