Etched deeply into our judicial system, is the clear mandate that the baseline for those accused to be deemed guilty is the caveat, “beyond a reasonable doubt”. The fact that an accusee is a master of the unreasonable with an uncanny power to Pied Piper millions into unreasonable behavior does…
I really have little to say this week. It’s not that the never-ending shit storm isn’t at its blusteriest…democracy is in free-fall, Mother Nature is very, very unhappy with us, peace and goodwill are merely two words that begin with ‘p’ and ‘g’…but it’s the holidays and most people are…
I am totally at sea. I have diligently sought the most fact-based information available in the ever so murky cesspool of what passes as journalism these days, understanding, of course, that I have to use the filter of 75 years of my own carefully honed common sense. I never rely…

In real life, Lassie, Rin Tin Tin and the cavalry, (calvary…oh, please), don’t always show up in the nick of time to save the day. I searched around a bit and couldn’t find any data, (if anyone has even thought to do the research), comparing the good/bad outcomes of people…
Score-Score It looked hopeful at its start As we celebrated the ball drop But then, there was the pesky Trumpian part And the unwatched, streamed-release of Mall Cop Then the shit really hit the fan And by shit, I mean pandemic Which got mired in moronic denial Making health and…
That would be holy…what a loada…a stinking pile of…and completely full of… In a single word, it is my review of the debacle that masqueraded as the Republican National Convention. For those of you, unlike myself, who were able to turn away from the train wreck, what you missed was…
