You Are The Enemy

January 29, 2012

es, you. You are the enemy. Actually, it’s not you. It’s nothing personal. It’s your attempts to exercize those Constitutional rights you used to have. With me, it is personal. I was once a commissioner of police. One of my grandfathers was a sheriff; the other was a chief of police. In tracing my ancestry [...]

Not A Fan Of Ceilings

June 25, 2011

I am not a fan of ceilings. Well, at home is good. Maybe in most any building. But that’s not the kind that we have as the subject today. We’re talking about the debt ceiling of the federal government. It’s possible one or two people may not be as familiar with this issue as they [...]

Stupid Law

June 15, 2011

Everybody seems to have one, usually more than one. Yeah, you thought you knew what I was going to mention, until I said that usually it was more than one. Actually, you would have been close. Arms? Fingers? Toes? Televisions? Cars? No. I am not alluding to anything desirable or useful. I refer to idiots [...]

Imagination At Work

April 1, 2011

I pay more taxes than General Electric. You pay more taxes than General Electric. Technically, they pay more, just not to the United States Government. For some reason, though the bulk of their business income comes from this country, they always seem to lose money here and make tremendous profits overseas. Why didn’t TurboTax do [...]

The Untouchables

February 21, 2011

I went to search for some images of the untouchables of India.What appeared was almost entirely from the television show and the movie loosely based on Eliot Ness and his homies. Is it possible we aren’t all that aware of the rest of the world? The word untouchables is applied to the crew of Ness [...]

Fake Yodas

October 25, 2010

Have you ever acknowledged that there was something you didn’t know? Fortunately, it’s a problem I need seldom confront. I have a pet peeve. I constantly see politicians and others pontificate on issues as though they actually know what they are talking about. Given the certitude with which they deliver their dicta, one would think [...]

Class Warfare

October 15, 2010

Yes, class warfare has been waged against those of the middle class and the poor for decades. No, the middle class and poor have not been fighting back, at least not yet. I am suggesting a new and different strategy for at least the first significant counterattack. The plutocrats have handed us the weapon we [...]

Do You Want A Democracy?

October 7, 2009

Do you REALLY want a democracy? The healthcare reform farce we see in Congress is proof positive that we do not actually enjoy a democracy in the United States. Who is to blame? You and me. Who can bring back democracy? Only you and me. How, you ask. Well, that’s what I’m here for. I [...]

He Should Know Better

April 22, 2009

President Obama should know better. I am certain that he does know better. Did he forget that he was a professor of Constitutional Law? Did he forget the proper relationship of the Department of Justice to the Oval Office? The President has his own legal counsel just down the hallway in the West Wing. The [...]

Here We Go Again

September 5, 2008

There is a ‘War on Drugs,’ street drugs, that is. There is another drug war. The later one is against American citizens. Isn’t it wonderful that we have a war on drugs? While this eminently unsuccessful war against street drugs has embarrassed our country for decades, prescription drugs kill three times as many people. Bookmark [...]
