As you know my sister is dead. And last week my brother-in-law died. I mean we knew it was happening, butāIāve experienced this before: it begins to seem like the dying will go on forever. Death always makes a grand entrance, itās not like anything that preceded it. You canāt help but gasp. itās one … Continue reading This Side of the Grass

Time to Kennel the Big Dawg
While a buncha obviously deranged weirdos are coming out of the woodwork, as that always do in a situation like this (witness the Kavanaugh hearings: remember Julie Swetnick? Didnāt think soā¦) there is somebody walking around wealthy, free and compos mentis who knows every detail of the Epstein op: The Demsā āBig Dawgā, Good Olā … Continue reading Time to Kennel the Big Dawg
The BAD Olde Countrie
As we approach our countryās 250th birthday, we ought to reflect on what we owe to Olde England, our āmother countryā. The First Amendment: itās in our Constitution because there never was, and is not now, a right to freedom of speech in England or the UK. The monarch could imprison And/or kill anybody who … Continue reading The BAD Olde Countrie
Feet of Clay
Trump seems immortal. Heās only a few years younger than OlāBygone, but the contrast between the two of them was and is so stark, the grimacing, greying slack-mouthed politician vs. the genial gleaming golden champion! Our standard bearer! Look how many assassination attempts, both actual and judicial, he has survived! Why, we on the Right … Continue reading Feet of Clay
āBorn in the USAāā¦
On this 5th of July, which is kinda a downer date like December 26, I was blown away by a quotation i read on American Greatness this AM, by Alasdair Macintyre: āI understand the story of my life in such a way that it is part of the history of my family or of this … Continue reading āBorn in the USAāā¦
More on Lies and Lying
Simonās post about lying reminded me of an interesting (I hope) thing I read years ago, bout deception, speech, and oath-taking.

Centennial
My beloved house is about to turn 100! As might happen with any old lady, she just yesterday presented me with an unforeseen infirmity: a major plumbing issue. It seems nothing is forever, not even cast-iron pipes. This was a major letdown as I had to cancel my Solstice party on Friday. She needs major … Continue reading Centennial
āLet Not His Hoar Head Go Down To The Grave In Peaceā
Joe Biden is in for a lot of agony, now, a horrible death. Soon he will be beyond the power of any human authority to compel him to tell Congress, and us, the answer to the obvious question: If you werenāt in chargeā WHO WAS? So come on GOP: move on him NOW, yesterday if … Continue reading āLet Not His Hoar Head Go Down To The Grave In Peaceā
What is a Woman?
You know those drawings that, as you stare at them, suddenly reveal themselves as some other image? The simplest on is the box: the surface which appears nearest to you flips back and forth. Or the famous one, wherein at first you see a girl sitting at her dressing table, and suddenly you see a … Continue reading What is a Woman?
