I really enjoy show business people. Not celebrity gossip, but the working actors, actresses, and comedians for whom entertaining is simply their job; a hard job, but a job worth doing. That's one reason I loved The Dick Van Dyke Show so much, because it was all about that side of things; not glitz and glamor, … Continue reading RIP Don Rickles

Where We Go From Here: The Reconquest of America.
If I have learned anything during this election cycle, it’s not to make any predictions involving Donald Trump. So I’m going to say that I don’t know what he plans to do, or what kind of President he’s going to make. Only thing I can say for sure is that we’re probably in for an … Continue reading Where We Go From Here: The Reconquest of America.
Castro, Ohio, and the Two Americas
Recently there have been two headlines, which, I think, help illustrate the difference between the two Americas. The first was the death of Fidel Castro, the inexplicably long-lived Cuban dictator whose rule transformed Cuba from the jewel of the Caribbean into a squalid outpost of the Soviet Union. Castro’s death at the age of 90 … Continue reading Castro, Ohio, and the Two Americas
Everyone On My Side: DON’T DO THIS

After the performance, one of the actors offered a patronizing plea to the Vice-President that "we are a diverse America who are alarmed and anxious that this new administration will … Continue reading Everyone On My Side: DON’T DO THIS

I hate having to write this. From the very first, I despised Donald Trump. Well, at first I regarded him as a joke, then as a serious threat, and then I despised him. He’s a repulsive human being and probably will make a terrible President. I always said that I wouldn’t vote for him. And … Continue reading The Franco Principle, or Why I Voted for Trump After All

Third Party Showdown: The Constitution Party vs. The Solidarity Party
With the nomination of Donald Trump, I have officially given up on the Republican Party. As the only other major party is a socialist-Satanic death-cult, I’ve been in the market for a suitable third party to promote in the place of the dying GOP. Thus far, on the recommendations of friends and family, as well … Continue reading Third Party Showdown: The Constitution Party vs. The Solidarity Party
Mrs. Washington Explains it All
You know, I have a number of thoughts regarding the Black Community in America that I typically don't voice publicly, mostly because I seriously doubt the benefits of doing so would outweigh the costs. Frankly I get so sick of race issues that the thought of having to actually argue about it online makes me physically ill. … Continue reading Mrs. Washington Explains it All
