Joe vs. Vlad

Vladimir Putin has challenged Joe Biden to take part in a discussion broadcast live and in real time.  This should be something that every American supports.  After all, we’re the sole remaining superpower and enjoy the high ground of moral superiority.  Every one of us should be demanding that our

One (Un)lucky SOB

I think I might just be the unluckiest SOB on the planet.  Here’s my situation… I give blood whenever I can, and the Red Cross tests all donated blood for COVID-19 antibodies.  Each time I give blood, I eagerly wait for the results of my latest antibody test.  And each

Wasting Away

Even though I’m perfectly healthy, my life is wasting away because of COVID-19.  Allow me to explain. I was recently in line at the grocery store, waiting to check out.  The woman behind the register was wearing a mask and a big plastic face shield, and was separated from the

Government Intelligence and COVID-19

The old joke is that the term “government intelligence” is an oxymoron and that there is no such thing as an intelligent government.  No place is that better demonstrated than by looking at the government’s response to the COVID-19 “crisis”. I’m not going to talk about whether or not the

Toxic Immunity

My local paper, the Ventura County Star (part of the USA Today network), recently published an article with the headline: “Teachers in Simi Valley get their first shot at COVID-19 Immunity”.  Wait a minute, that seems weird because Dr. Anthony Fauci is telling us that the “vaccines” have no impact

Survivor Gilt

If I’m watching the news and I see a report where a ferry sunk somewhere on the other side of the world, do you know what I feel?  Nothing.  That’s right.  Hundreds of people may have died, and I wouldn’t even care.  In fact, unless they died of some reason

Dr. Fauci and the Bobcat

Although many people consider him to be “the expert”, Dr. Anthony Fauci doesn’t have a very good track record when it comes to talking about COVID-19.  First, he used a wildly-inaccurate model to predict how bad the virus would be.  Then it was, “masks aren’t necessary”, then “masks are essential”,

Fixing the Brand

If you’ve read any of my stuff, you know by now that I’m a problem solver.  If I see something that’s broken, I can’t help but fix it.  Here’s an example. I was riding my bike listening to a rerun of American Top 40.  I heard a song by Naked

Bare Feet and Bubbles

For as long as I can remember, I haven’t liked going barefoot.  I don’t know the reason, but I always have something on my feet, even in my house.  It can’t be just socks either.  I’m nearly always wearing shoes, boots or slippers.  I’m more comfortable that way.  The consequence

Recipe for Disaster

I used to drink Coke.  A lot of it.  Back in the 80’s when my metabolism was high and I didn’t care about my dental health, I drank gallons and gallons of Coca-Cola.  Then something strange happened.  After nearly 100 years, Coke, the most popular soft drink in history, decided
