Another giant, gaping hole in the force. I was working with Michael Jackson when Prince’s For You came out, (1978ish), and I remember Michael fretting openly and asking if anybody knew if he could dance. No moon walk, no JB shuffle, but his music did some version of the funky…
Well, I dodged another bullet. I have all of my money laundered in Uruguay and the Uruguayans know how to keep their mouths shut. Oh, and they don’t have computers in the particular laundry that I use, so the only way they get hacked is if Manuelo loses the zippered…
I’ve read the analyses of probable electorate trending for the general election. If you buy into the historically expected logic of those columns of data and are amused and convinced by the representative bar and pie, (I love pie), charts, it becomes easier to both in and exhale during the…
Stupidity is not our best choice for a safer and brighter future. The big, dumb, oafish bully who thinks he’s going to build a thousand-mile-long wall, round up and bus out 11,000,000 undocumented people, kick the asses of all the terrorists…and their families, and rewrite everything about international trade by…
I love that Bernie Sanders has expended so much public energy railing against income inequality, but if you make an even cursory study of the depth of this divide, it becomes painfully obvious that neither lip service nor any legislative process short of a total “redo” will ever change a…

Like the balance-challenged Mr. Dumpty, we are teetering, possibly one fall away from not being able to be put back together again. I could hold true to form and simply rage against the moronic lunacy of the Republican, (Conservative? Trumpian?), freak show, but the culpability for our pending demise runs…
The basis for our system of justice, (amply borrowed from the French, who had studied the Greeks, who must have heard a story or two about Solomon), is empirical evidence, presented beyond a reasonable doubt. The questionable wisdom behind such a vague litmus test, most certainly took into account the…
When I was growing up, the mysterious, yet seemingly real promise of living the American Dream was imbedded into almost every sector of our daily lives. From education to job expectation to financial security, curing disease or flying to the moon, it all seemed within reach. What happened? Well, nothing…
