THE NAKED TRUTH ABOUT GETTING NAKED

  So, a few weeks ago, my nephew sent me a link to the following webpage, “W Magazine Replies to Kim Kardashian’s Tears Over ‘Porn’-y Nude Pics.” Let me start out by saying that I find anything Kardashian disgusting and try to avoid reading about Kim or the rest of the litter. I still remember […]

Is Obama Fanning the Flames?

One of my readers, David Walker, wrote me the following:  With all this Trump stuff in the news…there are two things I don’t get! First, I’m not a birth’er per se…meaning I don’t waste a lot of time and energy running around that circle. What I don’t get is what is the big deal for […]

"GOOD CHRISTIAN BITCHES": HIGH CONCEPT/LOW BLOW

A couple of weeks ago, someone asked on my Facebook page, I Don’t Get It, for my comments about a tv show on ABC’s fall line-up entitled, “Good Christian Bitches.”  So, Rick, here are my thoughts. The tv show is based on the novel by Kim Gatlin.  The “dramedy project,” as it’s described, is about […]

MADE IN JAPAN

Link: MADE IN JAPAN After seeing no reports of looting in Japan after the devastation that has occurred, I decided to do a little investigating and wrote a few words about it. 

"NEW AND IMPROVED" BABY BOOMERS

I don’t mind getting old and don’t hide the fact that I’ll be 60 this year.  I don’t buy into the “50 is the new 30” BS – I’m sure it was coined by a fifty-something and not a thirty-something.  Being a 25-year cancer survivor makes every birthday a wonderful event for me.  Having had […]

U.N. Commission Condemns Israel’s Treatment of Palestinian Women

Link: U.N. Commission Condemns Israel’s Treatment of Palestinian Women The U.N. Commission seems all too concerned about Israel’s treatment of Palestinian women but doesn’t say a word about the treatment of women in Iran, Libya, Afghanistan and the lists goes on and on without a word…….

THE U.S. MAY BE BROKE, BUT THE NYT IS LOADED!

          Many, many years ago, people knew the basics about managing their budget.  For example, housing should cost approximately 25% of your income.  In other words, responsible adults figured out how much income they had every month and then figured out how much they had in expenses.  At the end of […]

WESTBORO BAPTIST CHURCH: THE FACE OF EVIL

I recently read a very interesting book entitled, “The Rite,” written by an Italian journalist who accompanied a modern-day exorcist, Fr. Gary Thomas, during his training in Rome. (I haven’t seen the movie.) In the book, one of the parishioners asks the priest not to discuss evil spirits and demonic possession during his sermon because […]

LET’S BAN ANOTHER "N" WORD

  I’d like to think that, for the most part, the “N” word has been abolished in our civilized society. With the exception of it being bandied about amongst young Blacks, something which I will go to my grave not understanding, the word has been pretty much eliminated from everyone else’s speech. Almost. You may […]
