Biography

I live in the SF Bay Area, retired from a career working for the State of California. I am an avid tennis player and volunteer in this area within my community. Although I tend to lean right in my politics, I keep an open mind about everything and can be persuaded by a better argument.

Ho Hum, Beck Is Back

June 13, 2013 9:51 pm

by

A show of hands, please, is there anyone here (we won’t laugh at you, I promise) who watches Blaze TV?

Last time I even heard about Glenn Beck, he left Foxnews to peddle his own (paid) internet streaming service. Never being a Beck fan, I never missed him. But about 2 months ago I was looking at the Free Preview channel on Dish (my TV provider) and I saw Blaze TV mentioned. Now I guess … Read more

Girls Just Want To Have Fun

June 12, 2013 7:45 pm

by

No doubt everyone caught this story last week about some female IDF soldiers trapesing around in their bloomers. I think our aid package needs to be increased, get those girls some clothes. The usual fall out from the stuffed shirts in headquarters was predictable, and the female soldiers were punished, each got a severe spanking.

But more high jinks has been uncovered, where do I sign up?

A rudimentary perusal of youtube will provide … Read more

Evolve, Or Die!!

June 12, 2013 4:07 pm

by

I wanted to do a follow up from the GoT post that is not particularly flattering to Americans, fleshing out a theory I’ve had for quite awhile now. A nature extension of the instant gratification/low information/fast food society we find ourselves in, is Hollywood just following suit? Has lowered IQ’s and attention spans demanded a change in formula to accommodate, a dumbing down, where titillation (nudity and F bombs) is now a stable, not only … Read more

Sick Game Of Thrones

June 8, 2013 8:31 pm

by

I can just imagine poor Peter Dinklage saying to himself, “Christ, who’s dick do you have to suck around here so your character does not get killed off?”

I should have guessed after the first season when the only honorable man in the whole show gets himself beheaded in the end, this George Martin guy is one sick f**K. Then last week we had the “red wedding”, gee George, that was lots of fun:

Time … Read more

Judicial Review

June 6, 2013 7:19 pm

by

Many bad men are getting their day in court this week, some much overdue. I already mentioned that the George Zimmerman trail will start next week with jury selection. Today the judge denied the defense’s request to allow certain witnesses to testify confidentially, out of the public eye, because of personal safety issues. Maybe she will allow them to wear a paper bag over their head while in the courtroom.

Many of those cases being … Read more

Katy Perry’s What?

June 6, 2013 5:16 pm

Sometimes I wonder if being gay wouldn’t make life much easier for men. Just think, no more cuddling after sex (or in place of), no more ,”A penny for your thoughts”, or having to explain why you just don’t feel like gabbing right now, no more wasted afternoons at the mall (why anyone does not do all their shopping on line in a matter of minutes is one of those cosmic black hole type mysteries … Read more

Who’s The Fool?

June 6, 2013 4:11 pm

Switching gears from the slog of politics (did everyone see the latest Rasmussen poll that had congressional approval down to just 6 percent? The president looks absolutely presidential compared to these numbers) I thought I would throw out a moral conundrum to the group, one where pretty much everyone should have an opinion one way or the other.

We have had a few posts of late slamming higher education and calling into question the relative … Read more

The Race Race

Nobody thought we would get there over night, only that we would get there, eventually. Dr. King’s vision of a colorblind society, no matter how noble or lofty, was never going to be easy.
Take a look at this Cheerios commercial:

Pretty cute, uh? Without going in to the nutritional accuracy of the claim, Cheerios has used other commercials to target the theme of a worried child or spouse wanting dad to eat Cheerios and … Read more

Eye Contact

It is truly amazing what some school districts will try, all under the auspices of “It’s for the children”. Much like a congressional hearing on the use of steroids in sports(or to change the name of the Washington Redskins because it is offensive to some native Americans, yeah, they are still at it) all in a weak attempt to divert attention from their failures with a ,”Look over here!”, school boards would rather parents not … Read more

Nailed It

Nothing has really changed, women still have all the power, and men will turn off their brains just to get laid, some of us are such pussies:

It's Not About the Nail from Jason Headley on Vimeo.

Oddly, this is how I feel about most liberals. Their problem is obvious, nothing that can’t be fixed almost immediately, yet, with all the whinning, leaving them to stew in their own juices is the path of … Read more
