In Defense of Beauty

I buy most of my clothing online from American Eagle; this evening, I decided it was time to get some new underwear, and went to their site, where I was bombarded with unphotoshopped images of cellulite, stretch marks, and sagging body parts. Apparently, this was supposed to make me feel empowered, or something: it didn't. … Continue reading In Defense of Beauty →

nCOVID-19 Alert Redux (originally posted 2 Feb 2020)

Something is not right. This very deadly virus originated from the same province within China where they also have a biological weapons type laboratory. It is late here and that is all I've got for now but you will be hearing more about this soon enough. China is suppressing the truth as per SOP and … Continue reading nCOVID-19 Alert Redux (originally posted 2 Feb 2020) →

BDB (FKA Haakon Dahl) Has No Shame When It Comes to Stealing from You the American Taxpayer

It seems that some veterans want to create an impression that a veteran is a veteran is a veteran. Then there are guys like me who think combat arms veterans, in particular, have paid one hell of a lot more dues than the majority of vets, especially those we call rear echelon mother fuckers (REMF). … Continue reading BDB (FKA Haakon Dahl) Has No Shame When It Comes to Stealing from You the American Taxpayer →

While you were sleeping, I came up with a plan that just might save America.

Now don’t get me wrong this is going to be a close run thing for sure; but since we’ve decided to turn our military into Girl Scout Brownies thereby leaving us defenseless against the ChiComs, Ruskis, and Salafists, just to name a few, I’ve come up with a plan that just might work. Due to … Continue reading While you were sleeping, I came up with a plan that just might save America. →

Saving Our Lives (in ‘Nam) – Reduxed yet again by ST

I don’t know any men who served in VietNam. Because I had an intimate working-class friend, I did make the acquaintance of one or two of them briefly. But of the doctors and lawyers I know, my circle: no. My title is a reference to a tag line from the immediate post VietNam era: “He … Continue reading Saving Our Lives (in ‘Nam) – Reduxed yet again by ST →

Saint Valentine’s Day Poem

Time to tweak this bad-boy. Just wanted to bring it to mind and tell you I wrote it on Valentine's Day after finishing a plate of baby-back ribs at Applebees, cold and alone on FEB 14. I asked the waitress for a piece of paper and pen because the poem sort of fell into my … Continue reading Saint Valentine’s Day Poem →

Simon’s Letter to President Trump

¡Baby Rosita’s First Time to a Doctor, Pura Vida!

I’ve been asked by a gentle reader to write something more cheery about my adventures in Costa Rica that do not involve killing snakes or slaying señoritas. Hope you will find this uplifting. What was that again about mad dogs and Englishmen in the midday sun? I’m dizzy again and on the verge of heat … Continue reading ¡Baby Rosita’s First Time to a Doctor, Pura Vida! →

Winning the Peace: Defined.

Our current “strategy” seems to be designed to make Iraq a vassal state of Iran while spending over a trillion dollars to improve the infrastructure in Afghanistan before turning it back over to the Taliban. I haven’t seen it written so succinctly anywhere but that is sorta kinda how it looks from my bunker here … Continue reading Winning the Peace: Defined. →
