You know that old phrase "Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it." I swear on a Bible that we have reached way beyond the separation of church and state. Whether it is war, social conditions, or just stubbing your toe in the dark on a night stand, the phrase rings […]
You have to love all the hub-bub over President Biden’s presidential pardon of his son, Hunter Biden. The President has repeatedly stated that he would not interfere in the criminal case and offer to pardon his son. Now that he has, the political pundits have jumped all over the President and have had a heyday […]
I always chuckle when someone in social media, or even in the actual media, quips about how the public has lost confidence in news media. References about the good old days of Walter Cronkite and how we lived and breathed on the major network nightly news was indeed outstanding, but there were flaws and disagreements […]
I don’t give a damn, if you are Jewish, Christian, Muslim, or whatever, the senseless killing of tens of thousands of innocents is beyond comprehension. The latest reports of bombings in both Gaza and Lebanon cannot be justified by claiming enemies are hiding under, beside, or on top of civilian populations. The latest reports point […]
The American electorate has spoken. Not only did President Trump outwit the pollsters, he also secured the overall popular vote and secured the Senate for Republicans. In the Washington Post column by Theodoric Meyer and Leigh Ann Caldwel it was noted: "Trump’s victory represents a remarkable comeback after two impeachments; his conviction in New York […]
Forget Trump, forget Harris, Forget Republicans, Forget Democrats... This long standing division can be traced to one mighty factor, the pendulum swing of ‘past, present and future’. Let me explain. The current division between fossil fuels and new energy sources, between combustion and electric boils down to gearheads not wanting to give up the smell […]
Are they good or bad for his overall image? If the election was down to who garnered the most money donations, Harris has lapped Trump in fundraising after pulling in a record $1.6 billion across various campaign committees , compared to $700 million for the former president. But spending does not guarantee a winner. If […]
It was on one of those short vacations my Wife Patti plans every so often that I discovered the use of a rare gem. Yes, I had heard of them before, but to actually discover its personal use had yet evaded me. Yes folks, the bidet! A device that washes/rinses your butt and genital areas. […]
It is Tuesday morning at 4 a.m. I had a hard time sleeping, kind of disappointed in myself. I have always prided myself in telling it like it is, never wavering from obvious truths, so, here it is folks. Over the past several years I have been honest in my opinion concerning Donald Trump and […]
My definition of ‘Mixology of Information’ is stuff I find particularly interesting in today’s world. For example: Those religious nut-jobs known as the Taliban in Afghanistan have imposed severe draconian rules on women. Limits on personal freedoms such as edicts denying girls getting an education beyond the sixth grade and women being banned from working […]
In this week’s column I am going to take shots at lots of locals (many who are friends), including family and a whole bunch of state and national figures. Yeah, I’m what you call a true blue masochist. Several years ago, when Wife Patti was the Republican chairperson of the Walworth Republican Committee, she denigrated […]
It was Christmas in the late 1950s and taking the bus to downtown Rochester was a thrill unto itself. McCurdy’s Sibley’s, the smell of roasted nuts at the corner of Main Street and Clinton Avenue - all made the trip a worthwhile memory. Oh, sure, there were the catalogs and fliers promoting this and that, […]
Okay, there has been another mass shooting, making it number 30, so far this year. We (the media) have to react. I know, let’s do another take on those nasty AR-14 guns. We’ll interview a number of parents of former victims. That will evoke an equally nasty response from gun advocates with phrases like "Guns […]
Forget about the dead bear cub he transported, killed in a motor vehicle accident, to New York City’s Central Park, thinking it would be a good joke. Forget about his children’s recalling him chain sawing off the head of a dead whale and transporting home, with slobbery guts and fluids flowing off the roof of […]
Okay, so last week we celebrated 48 years of somewhat married bliss. Try to imagine that Wife Patti and myself not only have been married that long, but for most of our married life have been working together, side-by- side seven days a week, 24 hours a day. Our home office, which is a 15x15 […]
