Somewhere, I’ve written the story - more than once - about that phrase, “What’cha Gonna DO?”, and my response to it. It is the single most memorable thing I ever heard Richard Pryor say. He was quoting his friend Jim Brown talking to him about his cocaine addiction… over and over, regardless of what excuse […]

The “bailout” that is now playing as “The TARP” (shouldn’t that be “trap”?)
The US Representative mentioned below actually said “live” on C-SPAN as he spoke to the House, that he had heard threats of “martial law” if they failed to “bail out” the banksters…. later, he sort of retracted it, but he pussy-footed around so […]

Obama has been quick to announce his intention to reverse several of George Bush’s more irrelevant abuses of power, such as stemcell research and domestic drilling.
Fine… whatever… But: what are the chances of his reversing issues of REAL substance, such as the clampdown on civil liberties or ending the illegal wars of Iraq and […]

Fighting Back
Remember the TV-B-Gone?  It never really went away, you can still order one off their website. It’s an outstanding little chunk of tech, and—believe me—a shitload of fun.

… a used War from this man? How about a used Financial Disaster? How about a few pounds of irrationality?
The only real difference between this guy and the current Occupant of the house he wants to move into is that Occupant was probably - as sorry and worthless as he was - a better pilot.

When asked about my plans, I’ve replied “I’m going to buy a bunch of
guns and quit paying taxes.”  This, of course, is a joke, but if had I
less to lose, I’d consider it.
That is the last paragraph of a two-page True Story, written by a former Infantry Officer who served three tours in Afghanistan and […]

No, it doesn’t mean that your father’s going to be choking (at least, not directly), even if it sounds that way.
This is one of those things that I categorize to myself as a message from God.
And why shouldn’t I receive messages from God? The unelected President of the US claims to receive messages from God. […]

My youngest son and his soon-to-be (by the time you read this, perhaps already-is) wife brought over a netflix the other night - a documentary, I think by Nat’l Geographic - called Wetbacks. As you might gather from the title, it’s about the immigrants trying to - and sometimes succeeding in - get into the […]
