“Life Lesson #6: Amuse Yourself”

As you can see, I’m a massive fan of Moleskine notebooks and have used them over the years for various purposes like journaling, poetry, capturing random ideas, sketching, etc. Their first page has a space to record your name and offer a reward in case of loss. I immediately saw this as an opportunity forContinue reading ““Life Lesson #6: Amuse Yourself””

“The Trump Hole”

Here’s another exclusive song release from Tommy Treacle, the journeyman folk singer whose tunes range widely in subject matter, including horror films, pirate sea shanties, jingles for maid services, murder ballads, sporting legends, volcanoes, soup, space lasers, polyester leisure wear, Bigfoot, continental drift, sharks, unicycles, Egyptian mummies, and more recently politics. In this song calledContinue reading ““The Trump Hole””

“Art Peeps”

“Anyone But DUKE!!”

In a depressing week of market selloffs and ever-escalating malfeasance from Trump/Musk, Inc., there was one bright spot. Duke University’s men’s basketball team, loaded with the best college talent (and most annoyingly entitled student body and alums) that money can buy, lost to Houston in the NCAA tournament semi-finals. There is hope! “A loss forContinue reading ““Anyone But DUKE!!””

“My Apologies, Mr. Trump”

I reckon now that I’ve been wrong The White House is where Trump belongs It’s obvious, his vast appeal This master of the art of the deal Whenever there is trouble brewing He’ll save us all from rack and ruin I care not if he quotes “Mein Kampf” Providing he can drain the swamp! AndContinue reading ““My Apologies, Mr. Trump””

“Fight for Old DC!”

The folks at Hard Rock Cafe didn’t ask me, but here are my suggestions for naming their specialty cocktails in the Trump 2.0 era: The Election Denier The Insurrectionist The Orange-faced, Poop-throwing Monkey The Daily Dipshit Covfefe Martini The Feculent Philistine The Unholy Smegroni Gin and Clorox Putin’s Lapdog That Musk Rat The Highball Hitler

“What would Andy Rooney say??”

You know what Andy Rooney would say? He’d say that Donald Trump is an irredeemable, lying-ass, corrupt, shit-for-brains jagoff who shouldn’t be within a thousand miles of the nuclear codes, that’s what. And you thought this was to be a nice little intermezzo from my running political diatribe. Fuck that!

“Dodgy Days at DOJ”

Our laws cannot defend themselves. It takes people of sound reason and skill and passion (delivered dispassionately) and knowledge and courage. People who make forceful and logical arguments based upon facts and historical/legal precedent who will not bow to intimidation. Again, and again, and again until whatever febrile illness (in Trump’s case a fulminant coliformContinue reading ““Dodgy Days at DOJ””
