We’re two days from the New Year I’m working on my poem My thoughts are constantly rhyming couplets The lights are on…but I’m not home
If you care enough to dive into the bowels of political fetidness, the colonoscopy-like probing would lead to a dismal prognosis…not just of today’s political sphincter but that of the lower GI of every governmental digestive tract since the first edict or proclamation or straw vote. Just read a single…
I have never thought of myself as a depressed person, which I consider a luck-of-the-draw bonus in a world so overwhelmed with nuanced layers of angst-ridden disability. I’m a “Boomer”, (OK?), with a blurred religio-laic moral center who protested, draft-dodged, marched and always questioned authority but never the right and…

…the fact that we have become so diametrically opposed in nearly equal measure, requires a step-back, unemotional reassessment. The utter chaos of our politics, the snarky “gotchas” by liberal pundits and the “oh no you dints!” of the Trumpers has suddenly brought to mind, (well, my questioning, cacophonous, unwrinkling remnant…
Trump Gifts Country Extra Hour Mar-a-Lago, FL – In a gesture of his benevolence, President Donald J. Trump has gifted an hour of additional time to all Americans except those living in Arizona, Hawaii, American Samoa, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. It is unknown, at this time, if the…
