Back in the late 1980’s, I worked for a cellular telephone company. This was back before hardly anyone had cell phones. Most of the country didn’t even have cell towers. That’s where I came in. We were building towers as fast as we could. Sometimes (more often than not, if
Many years ago, I ran into Staples to pick up some sort of office supply. I can’t remember what it was. It was supposed to be a surgical strike. In, out, and on my way. Or so I thought. I found what I wanted quickly enough. But the guy in
I’m really glad I’m not a Liberal. I don’t think I could do it. It’s simply too much work. Having to wake up every morning and spend your day disagreeing with everything said by Donald Trump must be exhausting. What kind of a life would you have if your only

From time to time I run across items that I want to talk about, but aren’t big enough to be made into an episode. I grab a few of these and call them “PonkaBlog Shorts”. Today, I’m going to do four shorter segments instead of one long one. Here we
In my last article titled, The Biden Touch, I compared Joe Biden to King Midas. One of the notable differences being that while everything Midas touched turned to gold, everything Biden touches turns to shit. I then went on to explain why I believe it’s true. I’m not going to
