Stupid Quotes, some Stupid People

February 5, 2022
I just thought I would have fun this week posting really stupid quotes from politicians from both sides of the aisle. • Barack Obama on Visiting 57 States: “I’ve now been in 57 states — I think one left to go.’’ • Joe Biden on Barack Obama: “I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American […]

You can't have it both ways

January 29, 2022
I absolutely love the dynamics of people’s thought process in determining statements, ‘facts’, political leanings and social media posts. For example, states determined to overturn the Supreme Court decision  of Roe vs. Wade (the abortion issue), believe in the sanctity of life, yet are the states at the forefront of capital punishment. (???) Anti-maskers and […]

Biden's biggest boo-boos and blunders

January 22, 2022
Okay, so President Biden won the 2020 election, probably because so many real Americans hated the Trumpster, not because they thought Biden was a great asset, just better than the alternative. With high hopes, the ‘Build  Back Better” theme was off to a promising future. But, from the very beginning, Biden fell into numerous political […]

Want to be in a Cult?

January 15, 2022
In modern English, a cult is a social group that is defined by its unusual religious, spiritual, or philosophical beliefs, or its common interest in a particular personality, object, or goal. Probably the most notable ‘cult’ was the tragic Peoples Temple, founded by Jim Jones. According to a paper by the Department for the Study […]

2024...as I see it

January 8, 2022
As I see, it as the 2024 Presidential Election approaches (?)...  Democrats have abandoned the Biden/Harris team for obvious reasons. Biden failed to show up at the convention, and although Harris vigorously objected, she was immediately silenced and the “Ice Queen” was promised an ambassadorship to Iceland. The ‘New Democratic team’ will consist of Pete […]

Changes for 2022

December 31, 2021
There is a reason we recently started a new page entitled Our Planet, see page A8. We all have to take this climate change to heart. There is no more denying it is happening. Only a basic idiot fails to see the massive changes in storms, weather patterns and even local effects occurring in  our […]

And that is how it happened

December 23, 2021
Wife Patti drove me to get a haircut on Sunday morning. (No, I cannot yet drive due to the health thing.) I was immediately greeted and sat in the chair to get my once golden locks clipped. Having gone through a horrendous week in New York City and at the hospital at Rochester General (see […]

What I have in common with Jimmy Stewart

December 18, 2021
We made our annual trip to New York City for Broadway plays. This time, under very strict COVID protocols. We saw three musicals, and on Sunday night, went to see the Rockettes Christmas Spectacular at Radio City Music hall. First, I was surprised that every hotel, restaurant and play checked everybody’s COVID card and ID. […]

Revisiting guns

December 4, 2021
After the December 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, many news organizations ran stories about assault weapons, explaining their varying definitions and presenting varying opinions about whether they should be banned again at the federal level. I’ll start out with NY SAFE Act.  The NY SAFE Act prevents criminals and the dangerously mentally ill from […]

Beyond ridiculous, bordering on insane

November 27, 2021
Remember the days when a person committed a serious crime and there were consequences? Perhaps a really naughty person who either beat their wife senseless, raped a child, or stole a great deal of merchandise, or money went to jail, pending bail. Oh, wait, the arrested person is a predicate offender and gets let out […]

Republican Congressman John Katko...Yes, or No?

November 20, 2021
Personally, I like our Congressman Republican John Katko. He has been at the house on occasions and Wife Patti has a direct line to him. John, however, has a major flaw. He is honest and that may lead to his downfall. In a press release we received last week entitled “Why I voted for the […]

News Menopause

November 13, 2021
Definition: News Menopause is the time that marks the end of your loyalty to news cycles. It occurs at any age, but now is centered on both Millennial and Baby Boomers. No, it is not necessarily a natural process, but quickened by the introduction of the Internet. Symptoms: Hot flashes of confusion and anger. It […]

Why Biden will be a one-term president

November 6, 2021
Forget the age thing, but by 2024 President Joe Biden will be 81 years-old. For quasi-thinking-forwarding Republicans, Donald Trump will be almost 80. Age shouldn’t be a major factor, but in the minds of voters, realistically, it will be, for both. Currently the economy is under major pressures, along with party morality, technical changes and […]

How low can some people go?

October 30, 2021
I really don’t adore Alec Baldwin, but there is no way anyone should be happy about the incident last week.  While on a New Mexico Western movie set, Baldwin used a “prop” gun that involved him pointing a revolver at the camera where cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and film director Joel Souza were standing on the […]

Why my favorite color is gray

October 23, 2021
Look, I have to be honest. In my household we split (?) household duties. I do the vacuuming and cleaning,  most of the dishes, laundry and anything/everything that has to do with outside...gardens, dog poop, mowing, pool duties, care and cleaning the hot tub, etc. I am not saying Wife Patti does little, or nothing, […]
