COVID Goggles

I’m sure everyone has heard of “Beer Goggles”.  It’s the idea that the more beer you drink, the better people look, and sometimes you end up spending the night with someone who doesn’t look quite as attractive when you wake up in the morning.  When you drink a lot of

The Pursuit of Happiness

Governor Andrew Cuomo (NY) said earlier this year, “And if everything we do saves just one life, I’ll be happy.”  The concept here is pretty simple, it’s OK to put the interests of a single person over the interests of everyone else.  Unfortunately, this seems to be the prevailing school

Inconceivable

This year we’ve seen multiple huge things happen this year that, in a typical year, would be the story of the decade.  Looking at the last 12 months, it’s difficult to wrap my head around everything because the enormity of what’s happening is inconceivable. It’s inconceivable that so many people

Step 2

To be inaugurated as President, Biden needs to do two things: Get elected. Stay elected. In late October, Joe Biden said, “I don’t need you to get me elected.  I need you once I am elected.” What the hell? Just a few days prior to that, Biden said, “We have

Black Lives Mattered

According to FatalEncounters.org, there have been 23 black men and 1 black woman killed during encounters with law enforcement since election day.  I realize I’ve been paying a lot of attention to the whole election fraud thing, but I can’t believe I completely missed seeing all of those riots. In

Trapped in a Bubble

I was looking at my Facebook feed yesterday and noticed that someone had posted a link to an MSNBC video titled, “How Do You Govern When Half The Country Is Trapped In A Disinformation Bubble?”  I agree with the title.  But not the content of the video.  The video claimed
