My friend Larry had quite a time tonight:
“He was at a minor league baseball stadium in Battle Creek, half hour east of here. Stage set at first base. I didn’t want to sit and, since we got there a couple of hours early, I staked out my space on the pitcher’s mound about fifteen yards [...]

I just watched – again – the video of Sarah Palin prattling on about “Hillary Clinton left eighteen million cracks in the glass ceiling,” and I got to wondering if I’m the only one who thinks that’s a smutty remark.

This is what’s known as “a heartbeat away from the Presidency………”
On edit: a friend of mine said this needed to be corrected, and he’s right – Palin would be “one-half a heartbeat away from the Presidency…………..”

The Man made it to the Convention and gave a rip-roaring speech. There is a word: heroic.

has been taking part in an anti-war vigil in his town for … well, read what he sent me today:
“At our regular Sunday vigil today (plus yearfuckingsix), a friend brought new yard signs. I told him that mine has turned almost pure white from the weather. He said that his too had been bleeding. As [...]

Has there ever been a First Lady so lacking in style, elegance, flair, originality? She’s chronically frumpy, never seeming at ease in her clothes, and really makes Mamie Eisenhower’s bangs look daring.
But, this comment today by a person who’s absolutely nailed it, still has me laughing:
“Apparently Laura is going to make it through eight [...]

I was reading my hometown paper online this morning, and, as usual, checked the obituaries, where I usually recognize more names than I do in the news. It’s been a long time away.
But, this morning, there was one, and it bears notice:
Lily Rose Perlaki, 9 days old, died Aug. 14, at St. Christopher’s Children’s [...]

and I like a man who knows how to hold a football.

I’ve always liked the guy, since he really doesn’t seem to give a rat’s ass what anyone thinks of his opinions. He’s not afraid to call out the fools and jokers and clowns.
But, his comment about Fuck McFuck on cnn.com today was so good, so right, so insighful, and so clear, it bearing (illegally) [...]

When you are old, old friends, when you’ve known each other for almost half a century, when you have been in each other’s hearts for that long, even if there were decades when you were all out of touch, busily building individual lives, there is a language that began when you met and nothing – [...]

It’s not often that someone gets to photograph the two most vicious war criminals of the recent past together.
Unfortunately, Kissinger is only sleeping, not dead. The other one is also alive. Sort of.

I am certain there is no single individual as universally loathed by my generation as Mark David Chapman. He killed John Lennon. Yeah, Sirhan Sirhan is up there, as was James Earl Ray, but when I think of who was lost to us, I think first of Lennon.
Today, I read of his most [...]

So he boinked a chickie beyond the boundaries of his marriage. That makes him an adulterous pig, assuming, arguendo, that he and his wife, Elizabeth, don’t have what used to be referred to rather euphemistically as an “open marriage.”
Unless his grand total eclipses the claim of Wilt Chamberlain that he slept with more than [...]

There are things about the two candidates that the American public needs to know, and one of them – the one I find most compelling for a variety of reasons – is that John McCain got into Annapolis as a legacy, the same way Fuckface got into Yale, because he was the son and grandson [...]
