Although a review of my weekly posts wouldn’t suggest a real or metaphorical use of rose-colored eyewear with regard to my perception of the world around me, I also do not look for the most broken bits of the human condition to inconsequentially rail against. The power and ever-increasing incidence…
I was going to go off on the discourteous and disrespectful behavior of the right side of the aisle at last week’s State of the Union Address. Sure, I get their irritation. I mean, how dare the President propose such a preposterous agenda as equal pay for women, or fixing…
So, a big week for marching and standing up for free speech… …I guess that would have to include support for France’s freely outspoken hatred of Jews. Don’t they know that Jerry Lewis is…not as funny in English as he must be in French? Crap!!! This needs a cartoon. !אני צ’רלי
I’m not much of a cartoonist. I have one go-to, life-long obsessive Chilly Willy-skating-on-an-ice-floe-doodle that has been unconsciously drawing itself whenever I have found myself with paper, (napkins qualifying more often than not), pen or pencil and an odd moment or two at hand.

It’s official…we have lost any credence for being the leader of the free world except in our still overpowering supremacy as a bullying military force. This week we aired some of our dirtiest laundry in the years-long report on CIA torture. In the ensuing, unprecedented grilling of CIA chief, John…
…it seems that Bill Cosby has had some predatory, sexual issues, (now that I think of it, he has mostly used that smarmy, deviant voice in his stand-up for decades…and Fat Albert, don’t get me started). This makes me deeply sad, for the alleged victims, of course, but also for…
The thing about short-term memory loss is, how would you remember if you have it? Many of us rely on our family and friends to fill in the blanks when that significant date, or detail of an event, or our mother’s maiden name, (you’d think that would be a reliable…
