Just Another Fake (Controversy)
Editor's Note: The Clinton email threat set forth below as belatedly produced by Clinton is less than crisp because that is all that was publicly available, but ti seemed that our readers would want to see the actual email thread nonetheless and not merely be told...
They’re Already Here
Send in the clowns. Don't bother, my dear, they’re already here. The Bundy Brigade to the rescue. Oh thank you, thank you, my dear. The lunatics are running the asylum! Whatever would we do without them? However could we do without them? However could we save our...
Who Let The Inmates Out?
This won’t take long. Either I’m crazy or some or all of the folks in Washington, D.C. are. (Even if it’s me, it’s certainly them too!) Obama has been promising for years (since when he was first elected in 2009) to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay. Why, I ask?...
We Can Save The Rest for Next Year
Taking the day off to do . . . very little, or nothing at all if I can stand it. 🙂 Just wanted to take a moment to wish each and all of you a happy, healthy and safe New Year. Even those very few of you who don’t agree with every single thing I say. 🙂 Talk to you...

What To Do With Your Unneeded Trucks
With all that’s been happening in the world today, you can’t blame one for becoming a tad . . . well, depressed. I was talking the other day to this nice, elderly woman. Recently at her wits end, she told me that she finally gave in to her feelings, picked up her...
Who’s Got Our Backs?
Early today, unsubstantiated threats were sent to the country’s two largest school districts, New York and Los Angeles. They reacted night and day differently. New York played the odds, concluded the threat was not credible and kept its schools open, business as...
Presidential
As we all prepare to select a new President next year (unless you maybe want to do it sooner!), I started thinking about what it is that make for a good leader, if not a great one. Here are five traits or qualities that occur to me: 1. Knowledge and intelligence...
It’s a Tough Job, But . . .
In a blog earlier this week on gun control, I was critical of all the investigation into the background and motives of the two San Bernardino terrorists. I wanted solutions, not explanations. My impatience was misplaced. The value of all of this investigation,...
