A Prediction

There’s a video posted on American Thinker today, showing a butt-ugly transsexual telling the world that he will shoot anybody who tries to stop him from using a ladies’ room. And advising his fellow trannies to get a gun for this purpose. Really, he solemnly announces that he’s willing to kill—and die! For the right … Continue reading A Prediction →

End-Ron

Wellsir! DiSantis just took himself riiiiight outta 2024 by signing that law prohibiting abortion after 6 weeks. SIX weeks. I mean , I’m somebody who felt maybe the 12 week period in Roe could be shortened, now that anybody can find out she’s pregnant the day she misses her period by peeing on a cheap … Continue reading End-Ron →

The Apotheosis of Dr. Bowdler

In 1807, Dr. Thomas Bowdler, with the aid of his sister, published an expurgated version of Shakespeare’s plays, with all the naughty bits edited out. I doubt if anyone reads The Family Shakespeare today, but he gave us the verb bowdlerize. But what he was NOT able to do was simultaneously expurgate every single edition … Continue reading The Apotheosis of Dr. Bowdler →

Look over there!!

Having read Bragg’s “indictment” and the commentary of attorneys who actually practice criminal law. I have concluded that it was released last week for one reason only: to shunt the nation’s attention away from the leak of intelligence concerning the Ukraine War, and from China’s activities. Internationally, they’re eatin’ our lunch. There is someone with … Continue reading Look over there!! →

Our Republic: A House Divided

“How should the world be luckier if this house Where passion and precision have been one Time out of mind, become too ruinous To breed the lidless eye that loves the sun, And the sweet laughing eagle thoughts that grow Where wings have memory of wings, and all that comes Of the best knit to … Continue reading Our Republic: A House Divided →

“Life, liberty and property”:Two down , one to go!

in America, we’re guaranteed (or we were) that we can’t be deprived of life, liberty or property without “due process of law”. The fundamentals of “due process” are notice and “opportunity to be heard”. You get a chance to argue, before an impartial tribunal, why those precious attributes of existence should NOT be taken from … Continue reading “Life, liberty and property”:Two down , one to go! →

Plea

Well, tomorrow is it, the day which loomed over us for so long that we started to feel maybe it would never come. The greatest president of our lifetime, dragooned ignominiously back to that glitzy Gotham for which he did so much, to face humiliation and obloquy. So my plea to you, readers, followers, Ettes, … Continue reading Plea →

I know when America began to die!

Tell me if you “get” this joke (and I mean instantaneously, without having to think about it): American: How do you like living in the USSR? Russian: I can’t complain. EVERY American woulda gotten it, at once, 50 years ago. WE were the “Free World”-land of free speech: the Soviet Union was our opposite. We … Continue reading I know when America began to die! →

A Poem for the Trump Indictment

“These are the clouds about the fallen sun, The majesty that shuts his burning eye: The weak lay hands on what the strong have done Till that be tumbled which was lifted high, And discord follow upon unison And all things at one common level lie. And therefore, friend, if your great race were won, … Continue reading A Poem for the Trump Indictment →

Your Lyon Eyes

This morning we all walked the plank off of our ship, boarded a bus headed for Vienne, which is a suburb of Lyon. It has a huge Roman temple ( yes Roman not Romanesque!) in the center of town. Then on to Lyon, which is France’s second largest city. We went for lunch to a restaurant … Continue reading Your Lyon Eyes →
