I cannot believe I’m actually blogging about this. But it’s too funny to pass up. So, in Yelm, Washington, somewhere near Olympia and an hour’s drive south of Seattle, a man was arrested after a fight in a Walmart parking lot. He insisted that he had been attacked by the “Lesbian Mafia,” who had conscripted…

My “Beauty and the Beast” recites poetry in New York City.
Last week I played this game of “Spectrum Roulette,” where I went through all the cable channels on the upper band of my Spectrum cable service. You know, the ones that just show vintage TV series and the like – GET TV, ME TV, COMET TV, etc. Oh, the Decades channel is running one of…

Read MoreDid Donald Trump say “good” or “go ahead”?
Let’s get a few things straight. I do not support Donald Trump for President. I believe that he and his cabal of toadies, sycophants and wannabes have destroyed America. And I know that saying this out loud has cost me connections with family members and longtime friends. You know what? The soul of this country…

So yeah, in the past few days there have been incidents involving various political people who, for some unknown reason, have a desire to, shall we say, give themselves a little self-pleasure.

Read MoreBeing aggressive about passive (or: John O’Neill owes me one)
So over the weekend, I received a Twitter message. Someone spotted this, and knew that as a graduate of Hamilton College, I should read this. And I did. Hoo boy. Speaking actively, it’s “I received the package.” Passive is “The package was received by me.” So what does the Hamilton website list as an example…

So I heard this rumor. Not that I believe in rumors, but you never know. Supposedly, the recipe for the Chick-fil-A chicken sandwich involves marinating the chicken in pickle juice. Well, not “marinating,” per se, but brining it. Letting the chicken soak in pickle juice for up to 24 hours. Well, let’s see. What if…
