Rubber and Glue

It’s hard to know which is more surprising–that The Donald thinks his schoolyard boomerang insult strategy will work, or that it is working with a fairly large sector of the electorate?  Of course it’s hard to know if this whole embarrassment is surprising or sad, but that’s another story… I Know You Are but What Am I?

Best Negotiator Ever

Trump’s been getting some flack about his business practices lately.  I’m not sure what to make of that.  It seems to me he’s got it down to a science.  Hard Bargain

Cooking with Beer–Beer Can Chicken, No Can

There are rumbles of discontent out there claiming beer can chicken is a waste of beer.  I decided to see if I could improve upon the process.  I’m pretty happy with the results.  Check it out.  Cooking with Beer–Beer Can Chicken, No Can

There’s No Place Like Home…

Of course when Trump wants to release medical information he goes on a reality TV show.  Where else would he go?  A news show?  Please.  It’s almost like his campaign is a script for a movie…  Follow the Yellow Brick Wall

Measuring Up

Some lingering questions about The Donald’s fitness to command have gotten lost in all the hubbub about Hillary’s illness.  He’s (ahem) spurted off about Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran not respecting the US.  If he was in charge, there’d be no more messing with us.  No, sir!  Believe me–er…him.  A (Tiny) Hair Trigger

Mob Justice

The Donald had to be pleased with the reaction to Hillary’s pneumonia.  He’s got his mob so welled-trained that he doesn’t even have to be out front stoking the fire to get them whipped up into a frenzy.  He’s found a new way to truly lead from behind…er…below…  Orange Is the New What?

Lafayette Brew Fest Report

The Lafayette Brew fest was a great event.  I heartily recommend you visit any local beer festivals in your area.  They are great ways to expand your beer horizon.  I tasted a lot of good beers and had a very enjoyable afternoon.  Check out my full report.  Lafayette Brew Fest

Front Row Seats

If it wasn’t so frightening, it would be kind of interesting to watch the new conspiracy theory about Hillary’s health unfold.  What goes through the mind when you believe these leaps of illogic?  Of course, you’ve also got to wonder what goes through the mind to make these leaps of illogic in the first place.  Let’s take a look.  Bring out Your Dead

Never Forget

On a serious note, we should all take–at least–a moment to reflect on 9/11 today.  The impact of that day’s tragedy still affects us all–individually and as a nation.  We can’t afford to ever forget what happened.  It can’t ever happen again.

We also can’t afford to forget there is no sewer too low for The Donald to plumb in his quest to divide and conquer us a people.  My piece today is a (not so gentle) reminder that Trump used 9/11 to try turn his “real Americans” against Muslim Americans.  That can’t happen again either.  Never Again
