Jerry Seinfeld once asked his friend George why he kept books that he had already read. George’s reply: “Because they’re my BOOKS!” Book lovers all over the world were vindicated with that simple explanation. Being one of those people myself, a friend sent me this last evening. A reminder to get away from your computer. …

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison says rioting is okay if it’s directed at the police. If you ever had any doubt who this man works for maybe this will help clear it up for you. (hint: it’s NOT for the people, and it’s NOT for law and order.) “The masses have never thirsted after truth. …

Abraham Lincoln loved telling jokes. He believed that a humorous story was often the best way of teaching something. This was a favorite joke he was known to have told his sons… “How many legs would a dog have if you called its tail a leg?” “Five!” his sons would answer. “No, it would have …

It is known that the motor vehicle fatality rate in this country would be massively reduced by lowering the national speed limit to 35 MPH and eliminating all personal travel. Still, some people resist this, and that really burns me up. What about human life? What about the danger they pose to others by their …

“Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men’s views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so …

Lost your job? Consider becoming a “contact tracer” – CBS News History doesn’t repeat, but it often rhymes, said Mark Twain. Prepare for the New Nazis – the Grandest collection of Paid Busybodies the world will have ever known. First it was ‘Protecting the Homeland’ with the TSA, kapos* proudly selected and paid to assault …

I make chili pretty often. I use beans in my recipe, and onions, garlic, garden tomatoes, peppers, et cetera. Sometimes I add other stuff like the half can of corn that’s in the fridge, or the last quarter cup of oat groats in the cupboard that I just want to get used up. Before you …

About seven years ago I was in Sam’s Club looking at the high dollar disposable razors I used at the time. I finally said “No thanks,” and put them back. I determined that I was going to get back to the basics with shaving in the same way I had with food and many other …

Like a magician’s assistant, used only to distract, we are looking at the wrong thing and asking the wrong questions. The questions we ARE asking are most likely based on false information. Information provided ironically by the selfsame magicians or their designated assistants and associates. Where does it end? Why and how have we lost …

Someone pointed out to me recently that the Presidential Oath of Office includes the words “to the best of my ability.” That seems harmless enough. We can hardly expect anyone to give more than their best. The joker in me says that perhaps we should let this set the precedent for wedding vows as well. …

Beauty… what is it really? I came across a YouTube where a young woman sent an unaltered picture of herself to Photoshop experts around the world with the instructions, “Make me beautiful.” The results were interesting. The video is 2 minutes. Naturally, people will have their own preferences, and we should be thankful for that. …

Unless things change soon, your children or grandchildren will be eating lab-grown “meat” and think it’s normal. An unholy abomination, but by then we’ll have human clones walking among us anyway. Unborn meat for unborn people. Neither having a soul. Both Tyson Foods and Bill Gates are heavily invested in this technology. Isn’t that comforting? …

I was heavily imbibed one night many years ago and received an email from a Republican friend forwarding disinformation about how messed up something was with some leading Democrat. What she described was indeed messed up, but simply forwarding the same misinformation yet again really set me off that night. “She’s smarter than this,” I …

Unfriended; chalk up one more for “tolerance”…. A friend screamed at me one night over the phone two or three years ago that she belonged to “the party that cares about people!” It has been no secret for a long time that I disdain both political parties as two wings of the same bird, and …

I criticize Bankers a lot, and have been concerned for some time about my criticism being misunderstood. My wrath is dedicated to those psychopaths in government and on Wall Street who long ago determined, by stealth and deception, to misappropriate for themselves everything the common man had ever honestly worked for. I have never harbored …

1973 — I was thinking of the age in which this song was written. It was a time before every emotion was ran through an amplifier and turned into a parody. A time more organic, before even compassion itself was manufactured. You couldn’t yet patent lifeforms. That realm still belonged to God, whether you believed …

Wow, what a neat guy… “Mother’s Day is a tough holiday for Rahm Emanuel because he’s not used to saying the word ‘day’ after ‘mother’.” — President Barack Obama, 2009 White House Correspondents’ Dinner For those who do not know, I love gutter humor. I post this simply to note the holier-than-thou hypocrisy of the …

Did you know that Scarlett Johansson is only 5′-3″ tall? About the same as Robert De Niro. That was a joke, kind of. A reminder though from Dog Whisperer Cesar Millan that even a Chihuahua is sometimes the leader of the pack. Size doesn’t matter. It’s what’s in your heart that counts.
This was originally posted for a small group of friends on Facebook, and I was unsure I would post it here. I do so now after some deliberation. I believe this is something that should be thought about on a broader scale, asking why we glorify ‘thugness’ – whether it was James Cagney during the …

Written in the late 1600’s for three violins and one cello, Pachelbel’s Canon in D has certainly withstood the test of time. This rendition from Australia, a String Quartet, with three women and one man. Beautiful, on so many levels, if you are able to see and hear it… imbibe it even, while you still …
