IT ENDED AS IT BEGAN: THE T@%$# IMPEACHMENT REDUX
I wish that T&%$# Impeachment II had ended with a surprise, but it didn’t. It ended better than I thought it would. The really most frustrating moment was Mitch McConnell’s diatribe against T&%$# after the trial. Basically, the jury, aka… Read More ›
AND THE BIG SHOW IS BACK ON TELEVISION
Today the big subject is “lack of remorse.” That no matter what he has done, T#$%@ has NEVER said he was sorry. Never apparently felt any sadness for the deaths of people in the incited crowds. How are we letting… Read More ›
JUST WHEN YOU THINK T%$#@ IS GONE, HE’S BACK. AGAIN.
I really thought we’d finally gotten rid of the Orange Menace, but he’s back. You’ve got to hand it to what’s-his-name. He wanted to be special and he is. Not in a good way, but who else has managed to… Read More ›

OLD MOVIES, NEW YEAR
Last night, we actually watched a new movie — Wonder Woman 1984 or as they call it on HBO Max, WW84. It was a bit of a production just getting it on the air, involving about an hour of tech… Read More ›
THE FEARSOME FACE OF FEAR – FPQ #102
Fandango’s Provocative Question #102: The Fearsome Face of Fear Considering how frightful the past four years have been and in particular, the soon-to-pass-year 2020, you’d think we’d have given up being afraid by now. Instead, many of us have grown… Read More ›
A SPOONFUL OF SUGAR
Remember the line from a song in Mary Poppins (the original movie with Julie Andrews) where she sang “Just a spoon full of sugar makes the medicine go down?” I remember when Trump was elected saying that once he got… Read More ›
