Don’t bet on Russia in Ukraine
So parts of eastern Ukraine now belong to Russia, forever, or so Vladimir Putin tells us. Nice expanded country you have there, Russia. Now let’s see if you can keep it. It’s perfectly okay for these new areas to be part of Russia though because the citizens there voted to join. Of course, about two […]

DeSantis is not owning the libs here in Massachusetts
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is busy “owning the libs” by sending about fifty of them by plane recently to Martha’s Vineyard, here in Massachusetts. It turned out though that he didn’t have any ready “illegal immigrants” in his state, given it’s kind of hard for them to take a boat to Florida, so he imported […]

Be like Bob
From looking around, there aren’t many people out there like Bob. Bob is probably 95 years old. Should I make it that long, I want to be like Bob. Bob knows how to live. I live in a retirement community; in that you pretty much have to be age 55 or older to live here. […]

Should I care that Queen Elizabeth II is dead?
The United Kingdom’s longest serving monarch finally passed away last week at the age of 96, completing seventy years on the throne.

Grand juror, part two
Back in July, I discussed what it was like being on a grand jury. I’m still on one. Our term is three months. Two months are served, but we should be done at the end of the month. Then supposedly I get at least three years off from again being a juror. Generally, we meet […]

Trump is truthing his way toward justice
It’s been another busy week in Trumpland. Of course, it’s always a busy week in Trumpland. Trump has always believed that it’s more important to have his face and voice in the news, even in a bad way, than to not have it in the news at all. Even with a scorecard, it’s hard to […]

I’ve been enjoying a lot of schadenfreude lately
First, it was Alex Jones’s comeuppance in court. He mouthed off to the judge and ended up with two judgments resulting in about $50M in punitive and compensatory damages for claiming the Sandy Hook Elementary massacre was staged. This weekend though it was watching Donald Trump writhe in Bedminster while FBI agents raided his Mar […]
