theKid is comedy. Occasionally, theKid will insist that I sit with theKid and watch memes. Not movies. Not TV shows. Not a program. But memes. Sign o’ the times. Anyhoo, most of the time I have something else to do but child bonding (no glue!) is a thing, and a very important thing at that, …

I wonder if that is a coincidence. Actually … I don’t, not really, since I don’t believe in coincidence, luck, or perchance. All is GOD’s will, so there. But I noticed that now June is Pride month, a month where the … world? The States? Everybody? Is supposed to get together and throw a party …
Whelp, here we go again. Divergent paths and different travelers, yet the same destination. Daniel Perry killed Jordan Neely. Susan Lorincz killed Ajike “AJ” Owens. On May 1, 2023, Daniel Penny, a 24-year-old Marine vet, put Jordan Neely, a 30-year-old homeless mental case, into a chokehold until Mr. Neely stopped breathing. Apparently, Mr. Neely was …
Recently came across a new syndrome … oh, these kids today. The “Walk Away Wife” … really? Yes. Apparently, women are leaving their marriages and wrecking their homes in droves because, well, reasons. Apparently, men (as husbands) suck (but do not swallow – heh) and the women as wives are tired, done, and over the …
Had to put Dog down today. Came home, Dog is crying on the garage floor, covered in poo, unable to stand. Well, Dog is/was 15 ordinary years, or 105 in doggo years. Had a good life, if I may say … puffy doggie beds, regular vet care, daily meds, treats, butt rubs, walks (when Dog …

Seems fitting that a guy with no real talent, vision, or intellect would affix the name of America’s greatest (Serbian) inventor to his self-piloted, suicidal automobile. Was this old when discovered that Nikola Tesla not only pioneered the AC system of electricity (inapposite to and more effective/efficient than Edison’s preferred DC) but his patent was …
In 2004, the world received its very first celebrity sex tape. “One Night in Paris” is a grainy, night-vision, cringefest starring a neo-celebutante hotel heiress and some random meatstick with whom she was drugging and smacking uglies. Methinks “viral” is the appropriate term, in all the possible ways. A few years later a similar mess …
Back in the … my heavens 1980’s? (shuddercringe) there was this really good cop show called “Hill Street Blues.” My favorite character was (of course) the cop who bit people but overall the entire cast was really, really good. One character who really stood out was Sgt. Phil Esterhaus, a gentle, no-nonsense giant who genuinely …

Louis XIV (the very same he who would banish Darling Nicky) was legendary for being extremely taciturn; he kept his thoughts, opinions, and fears to himself, revealing his decision only in deed.
