It’s an interesting topic and one that has been posed by WordPress. If you were to go back and change something about your education, wouldn’t you first have to return to your childhood and change something about yourself? “Oh, if I only knew then what I know now,” doesn’t really hold water, because how would [...]

Doctors, hospitals, and me

I’m not certain for whom or which I have the greatest distaste. Is it doctors, those pompous, arrogant, cocksure practitioners of what they call medicine? Or perhaps it’s the hospitals where, if you are in the emergency room with anything short of a heart attack or a body covered in blood, you are treated as [...]

Oh, good, I have my own civil rights group. I never realized that. I think I’ll ask them to picket my doctor’s office. Ya see, at six-one, two-fifty, he calls me really obese. Now when I look at myself in a full-length mirror (ego does that to ya, ya know), I don’t think I compare [...]

“I love Mommy and Daddy this much,” as the arms spread to their fullest possible length. Let’s see; that lasts until…umm…oh, I don’t know; maybe seven or eight? Whadda ya think? Nowadays, does it even last that long? I grew up in the fifties. We loved our parents a lot longer then, I think. Granted, [...]

She came from out of the west…the gardener. She came East to take care of an old man; no reason; just came East…the gardener “Your backyard is a mess,” she told him, but he didn’t seem to mind, even when she told him that she was…the gardener. She was right, of course. The backyard hadn’t [...]

“Team sure looked good in that opener last night, coach.” “It was a good win; sets the boys up for the rest of the season. We still got ta git better, though…and we will.” “I know it’s always good to get that first game under your belt coach. My question is, do you really think [...]

“That ain’t right,” screams Mays Gilliam, a.k.a. Chris Rock, in the movie, Head of State. It’s a scream that every citizen should be screaming at the Congress of the United States Right now. On August 17th, “President Obama will soon announce a new jobs plan that is expected to include an extension of payroll tax [...]

There are so many bad things to write about that it’s easy to develop a “downer personality.” Wars and terrorism, tornadoes, tsunamis, hurricanes, drought, the behavior of our supposed governing bodies, and even crime at every level of government and law enforcement lead the evening news. And yet, there are also many wonderful things that [...]
Who really runs this country?

Colonel Gadhafi’s 42-year dictatorship appears about to crumble. John McCain (R – Arizona) and Phil Gramm (R – Texas) publicly congratulated France, Great Britain, and NATO, and omitted any reference to the part played by their own Commander-in-Chief, Barack Obama. This just shows you have far we have come as a country. Congressmen from the [...]

Never went to a school committee meeting in my life. Even when the kids were young and there could have been issues, never went. School committee people are elected by the general populace. They seem to be screwing up, throw the bums out! It’s really that simple. Get a group of people who are as [...]
