    Most. Epic. Baseball game. Of all time. Do I have an analogy for it? I don’t know… watching an Ali fight in a typhoon? While listening to The Who and watching Scarface on a giant screen? I’m going to try … Continue reading →

    I’ve been waiting 25 years for the secret JFK assassination files to be unleashed upon the American public. Seriously? A bunch of redacted bureaucratic gobbledygook? Somebody get Donald Sutherland on a park bench and tell him to start talking. … Continue reading →

    I can’t help it… I’ve got Dodger fever this World Series. Let’s face it, they were the only team among baseball’s “final four” that didn’t eliminate one of the teams I actually like and follow during the regular season. To last … Continue reading →

    I received a letter from my member of Congress the other day. That’s Barbara Comstock, “Republican”-District 10 of Virginia, also known as Barbara Comstock-Libous. Actually, to say the letter came from my congressmember is a bit misleading. The letter came … Continue reading →

    The stage is set. I’m ready. Casual fans are ready. Fox studio executives and advertisers are certainly ready. Salivating is more like it. One more win tonight or tomorrow for the Yankees of New York and they will be in … Continue reading →

    Note to self for when counting the Yankees out of a playoff series: Do not count the Yankees out of a playoff series. Down 0-2? Got ’em right where we want ’em. This is one final ride, remember? One final … Continue reading →

    I don’t make jokes… I just watch the government and report the facts

    There’s a weekly “newspaper” in my community called the Loudoun Times-Mirror. I leaf through it occasionally for a laugh or two, or really because my son likes to retrieve it from the world’s last surviving newspaper box. An article from its September 28 issue is … Continue reading →

    Usually hedging your bets is a good idea. When you’re me, and you’ve got a favorite American League baseball team and a favorite National League baseball team, and both of them are in the playoffs, you think you’ll be happy when … Continue reading →

    In Monday’s post I gave some anonymous children a hard time about their goofy worldviews and political opinions. They’re kids; I get it. They’re just parroting disturbing information peddled by so-called grownups who should know better. Speaking of which… Consider … Continue reading →

    The world according to eight-year-olds

    This is going back a bit, but not exactly time sensitive so worth examining on this Columbus Day. (You know Columbus… the murderous pillager of native lands.) Last Sunday my hometown paper (that’s The Washington Post) published a piece in … Continue reading →
