As I’ve said in an earlier post, I did not vote for Barack Obama – not once. It was never because I didn’t like him, or respect him. I just didn’t like his platform, his agenda. It wasn’t him, it was never personal. I thought it was great that a black senator, someone young and articulate, could energize the younger […]
Don’t let the headline fool you, I am not advocating killing anyone, least of all former Trump mouthpiece Kellyanne Conway. I am just continuing my homage to the force of nature that is her daughter, Claudia Conway.

If anyone is not convinced that, somewhere, a seal has been broken and we are full-on in the middle of the actual Apocalypse, here’s proof. According to CNN, a baby zebra (they say ZEH-bra, by the way) in the UK that was born in the early days of the COVID-19 outbreak, has died after being frightened by local fireworks set […]

A word, if you will, in praise of the life of Sean Connery. Connery is as close to a movie star as there ever was, in any generation. He was the best James Bond, more charismatic than charming, even though he was among the few who didn’t care for the franchise. He was an actor’s actor, and didn’t care for […]
Friends, this is it. The Rubicon. When next we speak everything will be different, no matter the outcome of the election. Face it, we may not even know who won by this time next week. Or multiple parties could be touting different results. But it will be over and we will be forever changed. Some of you have already voted, […]
