I have been away from here for a while.  When I did check in it was so disturbing I stayed only briefly.  I have found myself questioning on what is truly important as I watch women's rights get flushed and maniacs running for office.  And worst thing - people I thought were "normal" supporting these wackadoodles.  I just fell into a place where I couldn't deal with this.  I was actually...

As Britain mourns the loss of their beloved queen I can't help but turn to humour in times of sadness. A reflex in me I guess. I grew up watching British television on the PBS channel. Started with Benny Hill, moved on to Are You Being Served and Absolutely Fabulous. British humour may not be everyone's forte yet I always thought they were hilarious.

The culture wars are in full lock and load mode with self defined Patriots battling Patriotism … Trump promised chaos and delivered; the effect of which was to fling open the doors for those who belong in a cell padded with diapers … folks like J D Vance who believe that couples with a history of violence should stick it out … ignore the bruises, they’re part of God’s plan and never mind that...

The NYP and WSJ abandoned all pretenses and joined the controlled but out of control MSM. The MAGA acronym got a new definition: Mothers Against Greg Abbott. Josh Hawley is still running from his friends who are running from him testing the adage that distance makes the heart grow fonder in a cheesy fondue sort of way Partisan violence notched upwards to a level that should surprise no one....

How long can this go on?  The man who has to be told "Sit in YOUR chair" on a cheat sheet demonstrated that he is a glorified Ron Burgundy, reading whatever nonsense his handlers put in front of him. SNL had a skit in '92 about Ross Perot taking James Stockdale for a ride to the country and driving away  after it became clear he was not mentally competent.   Someone needs to drive Biden to...
