From Out Of The Frying Pan And Into The Dumpster Fire

I’d thought I’d never admit this but we’d be better off with Kristi Noem as the Secretary of the Homeland Security. But she’s on her way out and her possibly replacement isn’t any better by a longshot.   Since he became a U.S. Senator after three terms in the House of Representative, Markwayne Mullin has been walking around Capitol Hill like O’Bannion from Dazed and Confused. He thinks he’s a badass and constantly trying to start fightsContinue reading “From Out Of The Frying Pan And Into The Dumpster Fire”

Same Shit, Different Administration

I can’t believe the Trump Administration is taking a victory lap less than 48 after a pre-emptive strike (cough terrorist strike cough) in Iran. I’ve seen this beore back in 2003. I know that seems like a long time ago but I find it funny how Republicans are saying this is a win-win for everyone.Continue reading “Same Shit, Different Administration”

Peace And Love To The Innocent Victims Of The Iranian Bombings

First and foremost, not all Iranians are bad people. And just to give you racists and bigots a lesson, they are not Arabs. They’re Persians. They mostly speak Farsi. Now, Iran’s supreme leader Ali Hosseini Khamenei may be dead and he was definitely an awful, evil person. But Benjamin Netanyahu isn’t no saint and DonaldContinue reading “Peace And Love To The Innocent Victims Of The Iranian Bombings”

One Time I Nearly Met Jesse Jackson

When I was in college, I nearly met Rev. Jesse Jackson. It was around 2000 when I was enrolled at Georgia Southern University and Jackson was scheduled to speak one afternoon.   I think there had been some mix up in the location as several people felt it was supposed to be in the main ballroomContinue reading “One Time I Nearly Met Jesse Jackson”

Happy Chinese New Year & Fat Tuesday!

Well, there may not be any need to celebrate with world events but today is the first day of the Year of the Fire House on the Chinese New Year and it’s also Fat Tuesday, the great day of feasting as Ash Wednesday tomorrow begins Lent. Wishing all of you a great day if youContinue reading “Happy Chinese New Year & Fat Tuesday!”

A Time To Die And A Time To Heal

Four years ago today, I began what would become the first day of the rest of my life. On Feb. 3, 2022, my girlfriend, Kerry Kerr, died of an illness. We had been spending time apart because Covid and some other issues that made it hard for us to be together.   It pissed me off because two years earlier on the sameContinue reading “A Time To Die And A Time To Heal”

Remember The Columbia Crew

I was living with my ex in a house that is no longer there on the morning of Feb. 1, 2003. Beverly woke me up that morning telling me the space shuttle had exploded.   I didn’t know what she really meant. I had briefly heard about the Columbia mission a week or so earlier. What was so creepy was that itContinue reading “Remember The Columbia Crew”

Never Forget The Challenger Crew

For the most part, I don’t remember seeing the Challenger explosion on TV at school, even though several of my friends say we saw it.   Maybe they did and I was sick that day. I was almost certain it was a snow day so the school had canceled classes that day. I was in the first grade and only 7 so I probably don’t remember too well.   On thisContinue reading “Never Forget The Challenger Crew”

Remembering The Legacy Of Dr. King Seems More Important Each Year

I remember back in high school, my government teacher, Georgia Hardwick, said that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. knew he was living on borrowed time the minute he started pushing back. Or shall I say that he didn’t push back. The authorities were wanting a reason to use force but by non-violent resistant, they willContinue reading “Remembering The Legacy Of Dr. King Seems More Important Each Year”
