Trans children are not victims of child abuse. Greg Abbott is a clown.

Yesterday, Texas Governor Greg Abbott directed the Texas division of Family and Protective Services to investigate parents whose children are trans, and report them for child abuse. This is the same chud who gleefully signed into law rules severely limiting abortion rights, offering ordinary citizens the opportunity to sue anyone who even suggests or assists…

Never trust a Prime Minister who has a ukulele.

Longtime readers of my blog know that I am a huge long-time fan of the New Zealand-born rock band Dragon. I discovered them back in college, when I received a cassette with some of their biggest Australian and New Zealand hits. At the time, I played Dragon music on my college radio show so many…

The one thing we’re all missing about Marjorie Taylor Greene’s “Gazpacho Police” gaffe

Okay . Let’s get the first thing out of the way. Marjorie Taylor Greene is dumber than a bag of wet mice. As evidenced in this video clip. So let’s get the soup jokes out of the way first. Oh, and I need to call 9-1-1 and report a murder. But here’s the thing we’re…

Just because Novak Djokovic can hit a tennis ball, doesn’t make him better than you.

I don’t follow professional tennis as much as I used to. But I do have a reasonable idea of the top stars in the sport. Serena Williams, Naomi Osaka, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, you know, enough to at least have some semblance of who are the big names in the competition. And I know of…

Wait until he finds out those crypto coins are worthless.

I get it. Brandon Brown is a struggling race car driver in NASCAR’s Xfinity series, one level below the top Cup level of motorsports. He’s been driving for a few years, mostly in underfunded rides. But by sheer skill and luck and glory, the racing gods blessed him with his first win, a checkered flag…

Chuck’s best blog moments of 2021

It’s time once again to look back at the preceding twelve months. 2021 has been a rather interesting year, and as one college professor once told me, “‘Interesting’ is the weakest word in the English language.” Well, I’ll take what I can get on this. So there. And with that in mind, here are ten…

I did a kindness at DePaula Chevrolet.

Update on the condition of Dracourage. Recently, my beloved 2013 Chevrolet Cruze emitted a foul, oil-burning stench. I initially thought it was residual oil that had spilled when DePaula changed the car’s oil a few weeks ago. But the stench festered, and it became so foul that it actually ruined a romantic date. I nursed…

Barry Manilow ruined Christmas for me again.

I get it. There are people in the world who appreciate the music of Barry Manilow. I am not one of them. Personally, I think the guy’s so square, he’s divisible by four. He has all the emotional color of beige paint. And this is coming from a guy who was once married to a…
