October 15, 2022

ittle Miss Marsha says abortion is murder. However, a guy that forces and pays for one of his girlfriends to have an abortion is worthy of her praise and support.

Overturn America

January 3, 2021

his country is upside down. It is a corporation, not We the People. We have a choice. We can rid ourselves of the corruption of politicians that obey their owners and refuse to represent the people or we can continue the downward slide to third-world status.

The Most Obscene Politics

December 29, 2020

ou likely think that all of those tax cuts weighted for the one percent was just to increase their bragging rights about the size of their yacht and/or their bank account. Au contraire, monsieur. Sure, they paid high prices to purchase all of those politicians and wanted a return on their investments. But, their wet […]

Looking In the Wrong Direction

May 8, 2016

oving, a few necessary trips and scheduling a few more joint replacements, added to trying to do sufficient research for the books I’m working on, don’t leave much time for this blog. You likely aren’t too disappointed on the occasions I find a substitute to expound on an important issue. Here’s another such time. This […]

The Reagan Voodoo Legacy

March 21, 2015

irst, a few warnings. This article is on economics, the justly termed ‘dismal science.’ True, it’s not all that entertaining but it is worthwhile. It is my longest post ever, 4 to 5 times as long as usual. Still, it merits everyone’s attention. Lastly, I didn’t write it. Aaah. My apologies. It is a cut-and-paste […]

Words Fail Me

August 2, 2012

ords may fail me but seem never to have failed that master polemicist, Gore Vidal. It’s difficult to consider oneself a writer whenever one reads a titan such as he. It does, however, give one a truer perspective. In light of our relative literary strengths, I will rely for the greater part of this small […]

The Newt

January 26, 2012

ucky me. I first met Newt during his first unsuccessful run for public office, way back in 1974. He wanted to meet me and get my support. Even at that tender age I was smart enough to demur. Actually, turning him down didn’t require that much smarts. I was serving as mayor of a town […]
